* Program fees are based on 30 credits of study at C$992.57 per credit. Students taking more than 30 credits of study will need to pay additional fees. Not for credit transfer Academic Literacy Course is a requirement for UTP Stage II Direct entry

For Students beginning their FIC Studies in September 2016

To transfer into the Faculty of Applied Science, students must complete the requirements listed below, which include one ‘W’ and one ‘Q’ course.
-> What are ‘W’ and ‘Q’ courses?

Students must complete all courses of their program with a grade of C- or better. Students must achieve and maintain a 2.40 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) by the end of their second semester of studies at FIC to remain qualified for continuance in the FIC/Applied Science-Engineering Science program. Failure to meet the continuance GPA will result in an automatic program change notification from FIC Advising.

You must complete a minimum of 10 academic courses at FIC with a program GPA of 2.75 (including a C- or better in all required courses), and a CGPA of 2.75 or better on all attempted UTP Stage II courses, in order to be guaranteed admission to the School of Engineering Science.

Students in the Engineering/Mechatronics pathway are recommended to take 12 credits of academic coursework in their anticipated semester of transfer, in order to prepare for adjustment to the term credit load of the Engineering/Mechatronics programs.

All (direct) students are required to take (and pass) ILS101/ILSA101 – Integrated Learning Skills and ALC099/ALAC099 – Academic Literacy Course in their first term of study unless exempted. *

Students interested in pursuing an internal program transfer to any Engineering program must see an advisor by the end of week two of the semester prior to transferring to fill in the application. To qualify for an internal transfer students need a 2.5 CGPA and a B or better in MATH100.

REQUIRED COURSES

Mechatronics Program

Course Repeat Policy

Required courses may only be repeated once. This policy is in effect for students who began in September 2016 or later.

Readmission to the engineering pathway

For readmission to the engineering pathway, students must take a minimum of three new courses including one new W and one new Q and achieve a semester GPA of 2.7 in the semester immediately following removal from the program. FIC does not guarantee Engineering approved courses during the readmission semester. These courses will not be used in the transfer GPA calculation.

For Students who started at FIC before September 2016

To transfer into the Faculty of Applied Science, students must complete the requirements listed below, which include one ‘W’ and one ‘Q’ course; and achieve grade of C- or better in all courses. The transfer GPA  is 2.50.
-> What are ‘W’ and ‘Q’ courses?

Students must complete all courses of their program with a grade of C- or better. Students must achieve and maintain a 2.40 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) by the end of their second semester of studies at FIC to remain qualified for continuance in the FIC/Applied Science-Engineering Science program. Failure to meet the continuance GPA will result in an automatic program change notification from FIC Advising. (The continuance GPA was previously 2.0 all current students have until January 1st, 2017 to achieve a 2.4 GPA)

All (direct) students are required to take (and pass) ILS101 – Integrated Learning Skills and ALC099 – Academic Literacy Course in their first term of study unless exempted. *
