Lock in Your Passion
As you probably know, our Engineering programs have a common foundation first-year where you will build the core skills of an engineer while sampling the variety of disciplines we offer. However, you can secure your spot in your preferred Engineering program before you have to accept your offer of admission.
Spots in each program will be awarded based on your academic profile and your Co-Application. That way you’ll know if you have a space reserved for you in your program of choice for your 2nd year.
If you change your mind about your program during your first year, or if you aren’t sure now which Engineering program you are most interested in – that’s perfectly ok and common – we guarantee that there will be spaces in some programs to choose after 1st year. You can apply to change programs for your 2nd year. These spaces are allocated based on your performance in your first year.
NEW – Fall 2024 Entry
If you intend to join Software Engineering or Computer Engineering you will need an Engineering Program Guarantee to enter these programs. You will be required to follow all required steps and deadlines for the Engineering Program Guarantee to qualify for entry into these programs in your second year.
