No.
We do not recommend that you “shadow” your desired program. Here are a few reasons why we discourage doing so:
1. Taking courses for a program you are not in will not guarantee admission into and/or graduation from that program in the future.
2. Some students “shadow” another program and later realize it is not their passion and/or they apply and do not gain admission. To avoid a circumstance such as this, invest your time, energy, and tuition in courses required by your current program.
3. Degree requirements can and do evolve over time. When a student is admitted to a new program, they must follow the degree requirements in place at the time of their admission to the new program, not older requirements. Students who “shadow” may be taking courses that correspond to older requirements as opposed to newer requirements. Transfer credit will not apply in these circumstances if a student has accidentally or on purpose taken courses that are no longer relevant.
Rest assured, you can begin taking courses required for your desired major if/when you formally apply and are offered admission into your desired program.

Who uses this process?
First year Engineering students who started in Fall/Winter 2022-2023 must declare a major in the Winter term. For example, if you started in Fall 2022 or Winter 2023 you will have to declare in the Winter 2023 term. Regardless of any Engineering major preference form or communication you may have received from Admissions in the past, all first year Engineering students must submit a Declaration of Major Form in the Winter term.
Students who are currently enrolled in the BEng program who have not yet declared need to declare during this period as well.
Students will be blocked from enrolling in courses for the next Fall/Winter session if they have not declared a major by the end of the Winter term.
What are the minimum academic requirements to declare my major?
Decisions will be based on Fall/Winter grades. Review our Academic Standards website for GPA requirements. Summer grades will not be taken into consideration.
In order for your declaration to be considered, you must be eligible to continue in Engineering.
Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission into your top choice of Engineering major.
How do I apply?
Apply via the online form below during the application period.
When do I apply?
Deadline to apply is May 1, 2023.
When will my new major be effective?

Students who are eligible to continue in Engineering and who submit their declaration application by the deadline will receive a decision via e-mail late June. During peak periods or if unforeseen circumstances arise, the process including decisions may be delayed.
Am I guaranteed my top choice Engineering major?
MUST READ: If you received an Engineering program guarantee at the time of admission and are deemed eligible to continue in Engineering at the end of the Fall/Winter session and submit your Engineering declaration of major form by the submission deadline, your Engineering program guarantee will be honoured for the major you were guaranteed at the time of admission.
MUST READ: If you did not receive an Engineering program guarantee at the time of admission or received one, but have since changed your Engineering major preference or do not submit your Engineering declaration of major form by the submission deadline or are not eligible to continue in Engineering at the end of the Fall/Winter session, you are not guaranteed your top choice.
Last year, approximately 80% of students received their top choice Engineering major.
Note that Computer, Electrical, and Software Engineering are particularly competitive. If you do not have an Engineering program guarantee, you are encouraged to aim for an overall GPA of 7.00 or higher if interested in Computer, Electrical, or Software Engineering.
