Follow the Road to ResearchThe cool, crisp autumn wind means classes are in full swing. In between lectures and labs, new and returning students directly benefit from the world-class research happening in this Faculty. U of T Engineering undergraduates have a unique opportunity to get involved in cutting-edge research on campus, even across the globe. In this issue, you will read about some of the exciting, award-winning research conducted by undergrads this past summer. Also in this month's Engineering Student e-News, plan for a healthy school year, invite your family to campus, apply for a Faculty grant, and flex your creative muscles by creating a video about your U of T experience. |

Worried About an Arts & Science Course? Students who have fallen behind in an Arts & Science course applied to an HSS, CS or Free Elective, may work with their undergraduate academic counsellor to request a Late Withdrawal (LWD) from the course. This tool is intended to help Engineering undergraduates who have, because of circumstances beyond their control, fallen behind or who have been unable to perform when completing coursework or exams. The Registrar or the counsellor has final authority to approve or deny the request for LWD—it is not an automatic right available on demand by a student. The agreed-upon threshold is that, if the course were to be completed, the final mark would have a “significant negative impact” on the student’s academic record, academic status or post-graduation plans. A student must meet with their undergraduate department's academic counsellor and analyze the circumstances which led to the poor performance. No petition is required. Need a Letter of Registration?Occasionally, students require an official letter from the University to confirm their status as a student. Letters of registration on official letterhead and certified with an official stamp—are issued by the Office of the Registrar. Feel Your Best at U of TUniversity is about more than surviving. It's about thriving. Throughout October, Health and Wellness, in partnership with programs and services across campus, seek to raise awareness around positive mental health. Check the Health Promotions website for information about services, events, opportunities and on-campus workshops in support of student wellness and academic success. |
