First Year Timetable Example

Please note, this is only an example of a year one timetable. Your individual timetable may look different. 

 

Course Registration:

1. Western Engineering will select your first-year courses and ensure you are enrolled. You will be auto-enrolled into your timetable sometime between mid to late August - no additions are required and no changes are permitted

2. If you have International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, or transfer credits, and you would like to adjust your course load, please consult with your first year academic counsellor. 

3. Are you interested in applying for engineering scholarships next year?  First consideration will be given to students who are registered in 6.5 credits. 

4. Dropping Courses: If you would like to drop a course - consult with your academic counsellor to check the drop deadlines, discuss progression impacts and when you can next take the course.
