Students must check the FMT calendar for exact dates.
Last day for withdrawal or course additions:
The add/drop deadline varies every year. The last day to make course registration changes for fall term courses is usually 16 days after the first day of classes. The last day to make course registration changes for winter term courses is usually 16 days after the first day of classes. Students who are planning to make course changes must check the deadlines on the FMT calendar.
Academic Standing
Attendance in class is compulsory in Year 1. Students with an attendance of less than 80% may not be permitted to write examinations.
Examinations and other work in courses will be marked according to the percentage system. The minimum passing mark in a course is 60%.
Probation/Unsatisfactory Standing
In their first semester, students who fail half or more of the courses for which they are registered or obtain a weighted average grade below 60% in their first term in the FMT program are placed in unsatisfactory standing and are required to withdraw from the program for a period of at least one semester. If after this period, students wish to be readmitted, they must apply in writing to the Academic Advisor.
After the first semester, when a student鈥檚 cumulative weighted average grade or semestrial weighted average grade drop below 60%, or when a student fails half or more of the courses for which he/she is registered in any one term, the student is placed on academic probation. Students on probation may be limited to a maximum of 10 credits for the following semester, if the Academic Advisor believes this action to be in the best interest of the student. Course registration is subject to approval by the Academic Advisor for the following semester.
Students who are on academic probation for two semesters in a row are placed on unsatisfactory standing and are asked to withdraw from the Program. They may apply in writing to the Academic Advisor for readmission after a 6 to 12-month waiting period.
Any student who is readmitted to the FMT Program after having been placed on unsatisfactory standing is automatically placed on academic probation for the semester into which he/she is readmitted. The conditions mentioned in the second paragraph above still apply.
