Why Your GPA Matters
Once your聽top 5 discipline choices聽are submitted and the deadline closes - students will be placed聽strictly聽on their聽Grade Point Average (GPA)聽and the聽space available聽in the program. GPA calculations are based on only the聽common core courses聽in the engineering discipline.聽
All students must apply for placement.
Conditional placement in a discipline is based on your marks in the engineering program. Students with a GPA of 3.50 or greater who have completed 24 credit hours of engineering program courses聽will automatically聽be placed in the discipline of their choice. Students with a GPA of less than 3.50 but higher than 2.00聽will compete聽for remaining discipline places. Students with a GPA of less than 2.00聽will not be聽placed.聽 Students must have completed 24 credit hours or more of engineering program courses to be eligible for placement.
By the end of Year 2 if your GPA聽is less than 2.00聽- you will lose your placement.
Deferring a Placement
It is possible to defer your placement to the following year. If you do defer your placement to the following year -聽you must reapply.聽Students who reapply will be given priority. Those who do not reapply or if their GPA is below 2.00 will not be considered.
Losing a Placement聽
It is possible to lose your placement after it has been assigned. Failure to maintain a GPA of 2.00 or higher will result in your placement offer being rescinded.
