Note: BET courses are offered on a fixed schedule.  Some courses not in the mandatory list may cause conflicts in scheduling so not all optional courses may be available.  Students are advised to consult the current timetable when making optional course selections to avoid any potential schedule conflicts.

Transfer Credit:

CBU has an agreement with many colleges which results in transfer credit being given to specified Engineering Technology Diploma graduates, such that as few as 36 credits from CBU would be required to complete the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BET) Degree program.  Prospective students are encouraged to contact their college for information on the agreement with CBU or contact CBU directly. Where no agreement exists, individual consideration will be given to possible transfer credits. In any case, however, residency requirements must still be met.

Electives:

Selection of all electives must be done through prior consultation with a faculty advisor from the program.

Graduation requirement:

In the 90 credit program, a minimum of all courses in the program (or approved equivalent) must be completed to be eligible for graduation. Graduation with a co-op designation requires successful completion of a minimum of two co-op work terms.

Residence requirements: Graduation with the degree (or diploma) normally requires that the student take a minimum of  50% of the program’s required courses from CBU. CBU distance courses can be included to meet the residency requirements. Some joint programs, such as the articulation agreements previously noted in the Transfer Credit section may allow special circumstances which differ from this minimum.

Note:  Sequencing of some courses may vary from the format shown above. Students should consult current timetables for scheduling details
