83.2 Residence Requirements

A student proceeding toward a BSc degree in Engineering is expected to complete at least half of the credits required through courses offered by the University of Alberta (either “on” or “off” campus in Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer). Normally, at least half of these “University of Alberta” courses will be courses from Terms 5 through 8, as shown in §§84.3 and 84.4. Credits obtained by special assessment at the University of Alberta may be included in the count of courses used to satisfy the residence requirements. (See §14.2.4 Credit by Special Assessment.)

Where a student has been accepted as a transfer student from another accredited engineering program at a Canadian university and has the equivalent of six full terms of transfer credit, reducing the residence requirement to one academic year consisting of two full terms may be considered.
