    ADVICE TO ASSIST YOU WITH REGISTRATION: Please check the UBC Course Calendar for course availability as some of the listed courses are not offered in every academic year. Students are encouraged to take a selection of Civil and non-Civil courses as elective credits that best reflect their research and professional interests. Course approval must be made in consultation with the students supervisor or the specialty advisor. Students must obtain permission from the instructor for courses they would like to take that are within Civil, but outside their area of specialization, as well as for courses in other UBC departments. Students may take a maximum of six (6) credits of 300/400 level Undergraduate Courses. Students may register for a maximum of six (6) credits towards directed studies coursework. Students requiring remedial course work at the 100/200 level should register to Audit the course(s) (this requires submitting a Change of Registration Form) as registering for the course under your degree program for credit will mean the mark obtained will contribute to your overall program GPA. All students are individually responsible for ensuring that they meet all requirements of their specialty, the Department of Civil Engineering and the Faculty of Graduate Studies (or Faculty of Applied Science for MEng).
