🔹 What courses do I need to complete the BASc and CAS 🔹 How many courses are required for BASc vs CAS 🔹 Do BASc students take extra courses beyond CAS 🔹 Where can I find the list of BASc courses 🔹 Does my discipline affect BASc requirements
Students completing both the BASc (Bachelor of Applied Science) and CAS (Certificate of Applied Science) must finish the 23 courses required for CAS. To complete the BASc, students add 7 additional courses. A general list of these extra courses is available online, but requirements may vary depending on the discipline assigned. Students should confirm their course plan with the School of Engineering Admin Assistant or Director.
🔹 What courses count as humanities credits 🔹 Which electives fulfill the humanities requirement in Engineering 🔹 Where can I find the list of humanities courses 🔹 Do humanities courses count toward my BASc or CAS program 🔹 How do I know if a course is considered humanities
Engineering students must complete humanities credits as part of their CAS/BASc requirements. Humanities courses are typically drawn from subjects such as English, History, Philosophy, Classics, and Languages. A complete, official list of courses that fulfill the humanities requirement is published in the CAS Calendar Description on the School of Engineering website.
🔹 What is the difference between the BASc and CAS 🔹 Should I take the BASc or CAS program 🔹 Can I combine BASc and CAS at Acadia 🔹 Does BASc lead to a B.Eng. degree 🔹 How does CAS transfer to Dalhousie
The BASc (Bachelor of Applied Science) is a stand‑alone three‑year degree at Acadia. It is not equivalent to a B.Eng., but it strengthens resumes, provides broader academic experience, and can be used to apply for programs like the B.Ed. The CAS (Certificate of Applied Science) represents the first two years of the B.Eng. pathway, completed at Acadia before transferring to Dalhousie. About 60% of students combine BASc and CAS, completing both in three years.
🔹 How do I apply for a discipline in Engineering 🔹 When can I choose my Engineering discipline 🔹 How are disciplines assigned in CAS/BASc 🔹 What factors determine my discipline placement 🔹 Do my grades affect which discipline I get
After completing the first year of Engineering studies at Acadia, students can apply for a discipline. Applications are offered in three rounds each year (spring, summer, winter) and take about 10 minutes to complete. Discipline assignment is based on a combination of CAS grades and student preferences. The discipline determines three courses in the final year at Acadia.
🔹 How do I take a course at another university for credit at Acadia 🔹 What is a Letter of Permission 🔹 How do I apply for a Letter of Permission 🔹 Can Engineering students transfer credits from another institution 🔹 Who approves my Letter of Permission request
Acadia students can take courses at other institutions through a Letter of Permission. The request form ensures the course will transfer back to Acadia and informs the host institution of approval. Students must submit the completed form to their academic unit head/director, who forwards it to the Registrar’s Office if approved. A zero balance with Student Accounts is required.
🔹 The course I want is full or I don't meet the requirements. What do I do 🔹 What happens if an Engineering course is full 🔹 Can I still take a course if I don’t meet prerequisites 🔹 Who do I contact if I can’t register for a required course 🔹 What should I do if my elective is unavailable
If an Engineering course is full or prerequisites are not met, students should adjust their registration depending on the course type. For electives, students are encouraged to choose another option. For required program courses, students must contact their academic unit for guidance and possible solutions to remain on track.
🔹 How do I choose an elective 🔹 What electives can Engineering students take 🔹 Do electives count toward my Engineering degree 🔹 How do I know if I meet prerequisites for electives 🔹 Where can I find more information about electives
Elective courses in Engineering count toward your degree but do not fulfill specific program requirements. Students may choose electives from subjects that interest them, fit their schedule, and for which prerequisites are met. Electives provide flexibility to explore topics outside core Engineering courses and broaden academic and professional skills.
🔹 How can I get help with registration 🔹 Who do I contact for registration support in Engineering 🔹 Do transfer students need advising for registration 🔹 Where can I find academic unit contact information 🔹 How do I get advice on course selection
Engineering students should contact their academic unit for registration assistance. Incoming transfer students must review approved credits and course selection with their unit. Contact details for academic units and advising resources are available online. This ensures students receive accurate guidance for program requirements and registration.
🔹 What if I need help choosing courses in my first year 🔹 How do I know which courses to take in Engineering 🔹 Is there a recommended first-year schedule for Engineering students 🔹 Who can I contact for advice about course selection 🔹 Are Engineering students pre-registered for their first-year courses
First-year Engineering students at Acadia are pre-registered for their courses, so no action is required. Detailed guidance on course selection and recommended schedules is available online. Students entering their second year are encouraged to contact the School of Engineering main office for academic advising and course planning support.
