Academic Concerns

  1. You need to know if your instructors have a policy on late penalties, missed tests, etc. This information may be included on the course outlines. If not, ask your instructor(s).

  2. You should also be aware of attendance requirements in some courses. You can be debarred from writing the final examination if your attendance is not satisfactory.

  3. If you are having academic difficulty, check out the minimum requirements for progression in the calendar. If in doubt, contact the Graduate Coordinator in your home department. If you are having academic difficulty in a specific course, speak to the instructor about your concerns as early as possible. If you are having academic difficulties across many of your courses, speak to the course instructors and also to the Associate Dean, Graduate (for PhD/MESc students) and Associate Chair, Professional Programs (for MEng students).
