In order to be assigned a major, students must be eligible for promotion to Academic Term 3 in accordance with the requirements as defined in the University Calendar.

Major assignments are influenced by the capacity constraints of both the Faculty and the majors as set by the Faculty Management Group (the Dean and Department Heads).

All communication with students will be sent to their @mun.ca email address.

Eligible students will be assigned a major at one of three times:

Early Spring

1. Students may be matched early in the Spring semester if they:

• have received grades of at least 55% in at least six of the nine Engineering One courses,

• are on track to complete all remaining Engineering One courses and

• have submitted a Major Preference Form by the end of the first day of classes in the Spring semester.

2. Students will be ranked based on their current promotion average.

3. Majors will be assigned starting from the top of the ranked list of students.

4. Students will be matched to their highest-ranked major choice only.

5. Any match is conditional on satisfying all Engineering One promotion requirements by the end of the Spring semester.

6. A student may forfeit an early match by submitting a Match Forfeit Form and submitting a new ranking using the Major Preference Form.

Late Spring

1. Unmatched students who are eligible for promotion to Academic Term 3 will be considered for matching immediately after the Spring semester.

2. Students may update their major preferences using the Major Preference Form up until the end of the last day of classes in the Spring semester.

3. Majors will be assigned starting from the top of the ranked list of students.

4. Students will be matched to their highest-ranked major choice only.

5. Requests to change major may be considered on a case by case basis, subject to space limitations.

Early Fall

1. Unmatched students who are eligible for promotion to Academic Term 3 will be considered for the final match process shortly before the Fall semester begins.

2. Majors will be assigned starting from the top of the ranked list of eligible students. Students will be assigned their highest ranked major choice, unless the capacity of that major has been reached. In that case the second ranked major will be assigned and so on.

3. Promotable students who, due to space restrictions, could not be matched to at least their fourth choice of major will be contacted by the Office of the Associate Dean, and will be dealt with on an individual basis.

4. Students may request a change to a major assignment following the final match process, however, reassignment will only occur if space is available. The deadline for such requests will be 5:00PM on the first day of classes in Academic Term 3.
