FAQ

Q. What happens when I formally appeal to the Engineering Academic Appeals Committee and they decide to uphold the RTW sanctioned by the Academic Standing Committee?

A. Your registration will be blocked and you will not be permitted to register for any courses. You will be out of the engineering program for one year. You can reapply to engineering after the one-year.  You should also consult the Associate Dean Academic about your return to engineering. 

Q. What happens if it is my second RTW and I formally appeal to the Engineering Academic Appeals Committee and they uphold the RTW sanctioned by the Academic Standing Committee?

A. If you are RTW for a second time and the Engineering Academic Appeals Committee upholds the RTW then you cannot apply for reinstatement back into engineering.  You can however apply to another university program.  It is at the discretion of another Faculty to allow you into their program.

Q.  Are there any other reasons that I may be required to withdraw?

A. Yes! You could be “Required to Withdraw” if you fail a required course twice.  You can also be “Required to Withdraw” if you fail to meet the terms of your academic probation if conditions have been implemented.

Q. What happens if my first appeal is successful?

A. If your first appeal is successful, you may be given conditions by the Engineering Academic Appeals Committee.  If there are conditions, failure to meet the conditions set out by the Engineering Academic Appeals Committee will result in the RTW being upheld, your registration will be blocked and you will be out of the engineering program for one year.  If you meet all of the conditions set out by the EAAC then you will continue to be in good standing.
