Student Forms

Prerequisite Waiver

Prerequisite waivers allow students to request permission to take a course for which they do not have the required prerequisite. Please note that satisfying the eligibility criteria does not guarantee approval. Approval of prerequisite waiver requests will be granted based on special cases only.

Eligibility Criteria for Requesting Prerequisite Waivers:

1. Successful completion of at least 30 credit hours of required courses for an undergraduate degree in engineering.
2. A student must be in good academic standing as defined by the following performance measures:
3. a) UGPA at the time of request must be 60% or higher.
4. The student should demonstrate some evidence of prior course knowledge, which may include:
5. a) The final grade of pre-requisite course
6. b) The course will be taken concurrently with the pre-requisite course.
7. c) Completion of suitable course work from another faculty at the University of Regina, or another post-secondary institution, which provides similar background as the prerequisite course or other evidence of preparation indicating sufficient academic background to take the course without the listed prerequisite.

The waiver must include a written statement in support of the application, including a term -by-term academic plan of courses to be taken until graduation.

Prerequisite Waiver Procedure:

Pre-requisite waiver form (below) is submitted to the Engineering main office.

Form and documentation should be submitted by the 1st Friday after the start of classes of each term. This ensures that the forms are processed by the add/drop deadline.

The student is notified of the decision via his or her U of R e-mail.

By submitting this form, you agree to have an assessment completed on your eligibility to be approved for the requested prerequisite waiver.

Please submit forms to: engg.undergrad@uregina.ca

Concurrent programs are other certificates or diplomas that are taken alongside your degree or diploma and are a completely separate credential that you can get awarded.

This form must be completed and submitted in order to have various registration restrictions lifted to allow you to register in a class in which you currently cannot register. Please fill out the following form, print it off and then return it to the Main Engineering office.

Speak with or email course and lab instructor involved for signature of approval.

Submit form via email to General Engineering office engg.undergrad@uregina.ca for Program Chair final approval.

Submission of the form does not guarantee that the time conflict will be approved. Program Chairs have final approval.

Time Conflict Approval Form

Students who are admitted with a high school admission average of 90% or greater will be granted their first preference of a major at the time of admission. Students whose admission average is between 70.00% and 89.00% will be admitted into a general major, ENGG.

Students who are being admitted from another post-secondary institution, Canadian or international, will be admitted to a general major, ENGG.

You must have completed 8 of the 10 first-year classes including ENGG 100, ENGG 123, ENGG 140 and ENGL 100.

Application Deadline: March 1st

Eligibility:

1. Students admitted to first year with a major of ENGG apply for allocation to the major of their choice with a minimum of 8 required courses in Year 1.
2. Students who have transferred from another University of Regina faculty or have been admitted from another post-secondary institution must have completed one full-time semester within the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Allocation will be based upon PGPA.
3. All current engineering students who are already in a major, other than ENGG, and wish to request a change in major may submit an application form. Allocation will be based upon PGPA and space in the desired program.

Acceptance priority is based on PGPA, number of credit hours completed and space in the desired program.

To select or change your major, please complete this form and submit it to the engineering office for approval.  A second preference must be indicated on the form before it can be submitted.

Major Selection Form

Minor Declaration Form

 *Minors are self-directed, and must be declared prior to graduation, as well as on the graduation application.   If minor requirements are not met, the minor is not included at time of graduation.  Minor requirements can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar.

Concurrent Programs

Normally, concurrent programs will not be available in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Students who are interested must consult an Academic Advisor first. The final approval is by the Associate Dean Academic.

You may not repeat a class more than once (take it more than two times) unless you have prior permission from the Associate Dean (Undergraduate). Normally permission will be granted only if:

• you failed the course the last time you took it (i.e. you're not taking it just to raise your average grade)
• the course is required for your declared program (or, if you're in a pre-professional program, for admission to the declared target program)
• your current grade point average is high enough that you have a reasonable prospect of graduating from your declared program (or of being admitted to your target professional program)
• in the case of a pre-professional program, you've already completed all of the other courses required for admission to the declared target professional program
• at least one semester has passed since you last attempted the class
• you've successfully completed at least three further post-secondary classes since you last attempted the course

To apply for permission, fill out the following application form and submit it.

 Along with the application form you should submit a brief note explaining why you failed the course previously, why you need to retake it, and why you feel you can pass it given one more chance.

You will be notified in writing of the Associate Dean's decision. Approval may be accompanied with a restriction on the number of classes you can take that semester. You can appeal a negative decision to the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

Please submit forms to:  engg.undergrad@uregina.ca

Letter of Permission (LOP) Request

April 7th 2020 - CHEM 350-Organic Chemistry at Athabasca University is no longer equal to CHEM 140-Organic Chemistry at U Regina

As of Fall 2021, an LOP fee of $30 will be applied to your account when you are registered for the LOP that you have requested.

University of Regina students are expected to complete their degree requirements here. In extenuating circumstances the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science may grant you permission to study outside of UR with a Letter of Permission (LOP). An LOP is an agreement between the student and faculty that allows the student to remain in the faculty and guarantees that transfer credits will be granted for the courses completed successfully (60% or higher).

U of R students require permission to take a course from an outside institution for credit towards their program at the University of Regina. If you take a class (either online, in-person or by correspondence) without previous permission by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science you will not be granted the transfer credit.

To request permission, complete the application and provide all supplemental documentation, if requested. Documents may include course syllabi, professor information, course materials.

A general guide to the courses that are UR equivalents are listed in the U of R transfer credit equivalents database on the UR website. This does not guarantee that the classes are equivalent. Confirmation is done by the Faculty and the student will be informed if any more information is necessary. A re-evaluation may be required.

If the course is not in the database, a course description and course outlines (a syllabus) must be submitted with the application form. Additional time is required to allow for a course assessment to be completed.

Please complete the LOP request at least one month prior to starting your class.

Students will be notified via UR email and if approved, a letter of Permission (LOP) will follow. Do not register for classes at your chosen post-secondary institution until you have received permission from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

Students in their final semester who request an LOP must ensure that the official transcript is received from the other post-secondary institution to the UR Office of Registrar by May 2nd (Spring convocation) or September 5th (Fall convocation), January 8th (completion of degree December 31st). You will not graduate as planned if we do not receive your transcripts by the deadlines.

If the student chooses to drop the LOP class, fails the class or receives less than 60% it is required that they notify the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science immediately. Appropriate adjustments will be made to your UR transcript. Your Grade Point Average will not be affected.

Upon completion of the LOP class, transfer credits will be assigned to the students’ UR transcript. Transfer credit grades do not affect the UR Grade Point Average.

All LOP requests will be individually reviewed. When requesting an LOP please include a coherent academic rational clearly stating the reason for wanting to study elsewhere. Include as much detail as possible. If you are not in your last year, permission is granted for extenuating circumstances only.

If you are not in your last year of studies and deem that the LOP you are requesting will benefit your academic career in any way, it will be considered on a case-by-case basis from the Associate Dean-Academic.

Academic Plan

Please contact Melissa Berwald for further information. melissa.berwald@uregina.ca

Guidelines:

• Student must be in good academic standing (have a Grade Point Average of at least 60%).
• Students must be in their last year and have a time conflict with other classes in order to be given permission to take a course elsewhere. If you are not in your last year of studies and deem that the LOP you are requesting will benefit your academic career in any way, it will be considered on a case-by-case basis from the Associate Dean-Academic.
• Co-op students may take a course while on a work term with permission from the Co-op Coordinator and their employer.
• Completion time – the course must be completed within 8 months that the LOP was issued unless otherwise stated.
• Students who are currently RTD’d, who are on probation or under misconduct (academic or non-academic) review will not be permitted to request an LOP while they are on their RTD/on probation/review.
• Students who have a Financial HOLD will not be granted an LOP.
• Students should NOT have already received the maximum allowable transfer credit (60 credit hours).
• ONLY non-engineering classes will be granted transfer credits on an LOP; unless permitted by the Associate Dean (Academic).
• Credit will only be granted for academic study at recognized post-secondary institutions.
• Only TWO (2) LOP's may be granted while pursuing your engineering degree at the UR.

Plan your LOP!

Here is an example of the length of time it takes to complete an LOP at Athabasca University

At AU you must be admitted and registered for the class prior to the 10^th day of the month prior to beginning the class.  So, that means if you register on March 9^th, then you will start your class April 1^st.  If you register on March 11^th, then you will start your class on May 1^st (because you missed the deadline)

EXAMPLE

If you are planning on graduating then remember that January 31^st and July 31^st are deadlines for Spring and Fall Convocation. 

Students who are in their last term and who have applied to graduate must ensure that UR Registrar’s Office has their transcripts by

May 2 – Winter
September 5 – Spring/Summer
January 8 – Fall

Appealing Academic Action (Probation, RTD, and MW)

Students may appeal any academic action including faculty RTD (Required to Discontinue), and university MW (Must Withdraw).

Appeals must be made in writing within 2 weeks of notification of the academic action to the Faculty's Student Appeals Committee (submit appeal letters to the Academic Action Advisor). Students present their case in person to the committee and are notified in writing of the outcome of their appeal.
