NOTE: Requests for course substitution may be permitted. All requests for exceptions to existing SFU policy and program requirements should be made in writing to ensure consistency and fairness for all students. Every request is meticulously reviewed by the MSE PMP committee, with decisions made on a case-by-case basis. The committee is committed to accommodating individual student needs and circumstances while upholding the rigorous quality standards of the program. To submit a request, use the online form (Coursys - MSE M.Eng. SMS Requests).
Situations for utilizing the form:
- Course Enrollment Outside Group 1 or Group 2: Students intending to enroll in a course outside the Group 1 or Group 2 list must seek pre-approval prior to enrollment. Please use the form to request approval for such courses.
- Exemption from MSE 795 Industrial Internship: Students who have already gained relevant Canadian experience before the scheduled internship semester may submit this form to request an exemption from taking MSE 795 Industrial Internship. Instead of the internship course, applicants must commit to substituting the internship with an additional graduate level couse pre-approved by MSE during the graduating (fourth) semester.
- Summer Internship Commencement or Non-Conventional Fields: Students securing internship opportunities commencing in the Summer semester instead of Fall, or in fields outside conventional engineering or manufacturing, should use this form. Additionally, if the internship offer provides less than full-time engagement (less than 30 hours per week), a request should be submitted through this form.
Program Length
Students are expected to complete the program requirements within four terms.
