Module enrolment add and drop dates: 

  • Add date: no more than 15% of the module has been completed. (i.e. 1 session)

To complete your degree requirements, you need to take 1.0 FCE in electives (courses offered outside the program). 

We recommend that you take your electives in year 2. Electives should contribute to your learning outcomes, capstone project or career objectives. Before registering, students must first discuss their choices with their TRP IDP advisor. Electives must be graduate-level courses. 

Your choice of elective must be approved by the TRP prior to the final registration date of the given term.
