Eligibility criteria

To be endorsed for the engineering exchange program at the time of application, you must:

  1. Have a cumulative average of 80.0 or a term average of 80.0 in each of the two most recently completed academic terms, at the time of application
    • Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis
  2. Not previously have gone on exchange through the engineering exchange program
    • One exchange term per student during undergraduate studies
  3. Be up to date with the requirements of your plan and other relevant sections of the undergraduate calendar
  4. Have a good record with respect to conduct and academic integrity
  5. Have successfully completed co-op employment terms attempted to date
    • COOP NCRs will be investigated on a case-by-case basis

You are expected to continue to meet these requirements and have an approved study plan prior to departure. If the department deems you are no longer eligible for exchange at any time prior to departure, they can withdraw your endorsement and your exchange will be cancelled.

Additional requirements

  • Successful completion of at least 2B term before departure.
  • All failed or dropped courses must be passed prior to leaving for exchange.
  • Approved plan to satisfy your co-op requirements prior to your 4B term.
  • Meet language requirements if the primary language of instruction at the partner institution is not English.

Notes

  • Programs may limit the number of exchange students endorsed from each class.
  • It is not always possible for students to complete all required courses and electives during their exchange term. Students may require taking additional courses on academic and/or coop terms. In some cases, students may require an additional academic term or more to complete degree requirements.
  • Within the Faculty of Engineering, letters of permission cannot be used to replace an entire academic term or in place of an exchange agreement.
