2 Programs of Study
a.
Students must obtain written
approval from Student Services, FEAS, to add or drop first year courses.
b.
A student who is registered in
the Regular First Year Program for Winter Term courses may register to rewrite
the final examination in any failed course at the next examination period only
if the student’s Engineering Sessional GPA (ESGPA) is at least 0.7.
c.
An upper year student may request
an exemption in a course by application to the Operations Committee or delegate
on the basis of knowledge acquired through practical experience. Approval for a request for a course exemption
must be recommended by the course instructor and by the Department, on the
basis of a satisfactory assessment of the student’s proficiency in the exempted
course material. A replacement course of
similar level, total weight, and CEAB units must be proposed in the exemption
application. If the exemption is granted
the student must take and pass the specified replacement course.
d.
An upper year student may request
an exemption in a course by application to the Operations Committee or delegate
on the basis of knowledge acquired through studies prior to first admission to
the FEAS. Approval for a request for a
course exemption must be recommended by the course instructor and by the
Department, on the basis of a satisfactory assessment of the student’s
proficiency in the course material. A
replacement course of similar level, total weight, and CEAB units must be
proposed in the exemption application.
If the exemption is granted the student must take and pass the specified
replacement course.
e.
An upper year student may request
permission for substitution of a course in his/her program by a similar course,
either at Queen’s or elsewhere, by application to the Operations Committee
prior to enrolling in the substitute course.
Approval for a request for a course substitution must be recommended by
the instructor of the prescribed course and the Department. For courses other than Complementary Studies,
the request will normally only be considered if the institution offering the
course has an accredited engineering program and if the student has an
Engineering Cumulative Grade Point Average (ECGPA) of at least 1.6. If a request to take a substitute course at
another institution is approved, the FEAS will issue a Letter of Permission to
allow the student to enroll in the course.
f.
A student seeking a degree in
Engineering and Applied Science may not receive more than two years of credits
for work done in another Faculty or university, and such credits may not
encompass more than one half of the courses of the third and fourth years of
the program. Additionally, at least one
half of the fourth year of the program must be taken at Queen’s.
g.
A student who has not passed all
of the courses of the first year which are specified as prerequisite to any
course in the chosen upper year program must, during the next session, follow a
special Fall and Winter term program arranged by the Chair of Undergraduate
Studies of the chosen department. During
this session, the student must pass all prerequisite courses during the session
or he or she will be required to withdraw.
h.

since it is now covered under Regulation 10.
