All in-person classes will not resume this term. Instead, classes will be offered remotely (through online tools such as Brightspace) beginning Marc 23.

Classes have been paused between March 16-20 to allow instructors time to develop appropriate online course work through to the end of the semester.

Questions regarding assignments and existing projects should be directed to your instructors.

All in-person labs will not resume this semester. As the remainder of the term will be offered remotely there will be no more labs that require physical presence on campus. Instructors will provide details about remaining course requirements.

Each program is addressing this based on the specific style of capstone project they employ. Consult your instructor and on-line course site for more details.

No, as per Provincial and 鲍鱼tv instructions, all events through to the remainder of May have cancelled.

We are working with each supervisor to develop a plan specific to their respective research teams. Consult with your thesis advisor for more details.

Details on your final exams will be given in the modified course syllabus for each course on March 18.

Please contact your Student Development Coordinator right away of you need to end your work term early as a result of your employer鈥檚 COVID-19 measures, or if your work circumstances have changed for the remainder of your work term.

• The focus remains on delivering high-quality online learning for the fall.
• We are remaining hopeful that some on-campus activities may be possible to support student learning and the student experience, even if it is very limited. However, we also recognize that on campus access restrictions going forward are still uncertain. These restrictions are put in place by the Province and the University.
• We will continue to monitor the situation and remain flexible if opportunities develop. We will provide updates should circumstances change.

The deadline to drop winter term courses has been extended to Monday, March 30. 

You will able to drop winter term courses via Dal Online and if you have trouble withdrawing, email registrar@dal.ca.

Before doing so, it is important to understand what a withdrawal means in terms of your academic progress. If you are considering this as an option but are not sure of the implications to your academic progression or to graduation, we recommend you contact an academic advisor before withdrawing.

For more information and details, please read 鲍鱼tv鈥檚 University鈥檚 policy on course withdrawals and review the 鲍鱼tv Student Notice email from the Provost on March 18, 2020 entitled: Important information regarding withdrawing from courses.  

You may discuss your options with an advisor after all your individual grades have been posted. Formal request for changes will begin in Engineering on April 27.

No, students do not need any permission to choose the PASS or ILL grades, but they are required to seek academic guidance if they are going to elect either of these options.

No, the Letter Grades that were awarded are the grades you keep unless you make a specific request to choose PASS or ILL as appropriate.

For potential graduates, the target date is May 8^th. For other students, the decisions should be made by June 1. We will exercise flexibility in individual cases should it be required due to problems in completing the assessments as scheduled.

An online process is being developed, we will update you soon.

The Faculty has a team of advisors to help you with the implications of this choice.  The Bissett Centre can also provide advising.

No, if you choose the ILL designation, it is final, there is no 鈥渕ake-up鈥� exam.

Yes, you are permitted to attempt the assessment after your situation has improved (normally within six weeks) and when the grade is released you then get to exercise your PASS/ILL grade choice. If you are sick and are unable to attend a final assessment, report this to the Associate Dean鈥檚 Office through the regular Student Absence policy (forms.engineering.dal.ca)

Yes, the FM grade qualifies you for one supplemental exam per term as long as you are not academically dismissed.

Yes, the choice is distinct for each course.

If you are interested in Medical School or Graduate School a Letter Grade may convey more information about you than a simple PASS grade. Generally, schools across the world will recognise the unique circumstance associated with the Winter of 2020. Also, having more courses with Letter Grades on your transcript makes your cumulative GPA more robust to future grade variations.

No, PASS and ILL grades are not included in the calculation of term or cumulative GPA.

Example: If you have four three-credit-courses A- (3.7), B+(3.3) B(3.0) and B-(2.7) your GPA calculates as 3.18 (average of 3.7,3.3,3.0,2.7); If you choose to replace the B- with a PASS then your GPA calculates as 3.33 (average of 3.7,3.3,3.0). Go to the Dal GPA calculator for additional help calculating your GPA.

Your EGPA is calculated using all of the Letter Grades selected from courses that count towards the Engineering degree.

In order to obtain the Sexton Scholar designation, you must have at least four Letter Grades and a Term GPA above 3.85.  In order to obtain the Dean鈥檚 List designation, you must have at least four Letter Grades and a Term GPA above 3.70.

Yes, The Letter Grade is awarded first and then the option is exercised.

Yes, ILL indicates that you did not successfully complete the course.

Students should visit the to list their program preferences if they have not yet done so.

Discipline placement will continue to require the successful completion of seven or more courses with an EGPA (GPA calculated from required engineering courses) of 2.0 or greater.

路       Students who have elected a PASS designation will be given credit for the course, but it will not be used in the calculation of the EGPA*.

路       Students who have elected an ILL designation will not be given credit for that course and as long as they have successfully completed seven or more courses with an EGPA of 2.0 or greater, will still be eligible for placement. The ILL grade will not be used as part of the EGPA calculation.

路       Every attempt will be made to give students achieving an EGPA of 3.3 or higher their choice of discipline (While this GPA level has been used for many years, we are starting to get close to some of the programs being full at a 3.3 level. If the PASS/ILL option results in a number of higher GPAs and demand remains strong for the most popular programs, we may not be able to hold that line).

In order to be admitted to the third year of a 鲍鱼tv Engineering Program, students must:

路       Have successfully completed all lower division courses (with Letter Grade or PASS grade)

路       Have an EGPA of 2.0 or greater (PASS grades will not be used in the calculation).

路       If a student has chosen to take the ILL designation or has an F grade in one or more of the required courses, they will not be eligible for admission.
