1. All Master students are required to take MICB506 in the first September of their program. The Graduate Coordinator will register you. MICB506 runs from September through to May, registering for MICB530 is NOT required as it is included in MICB506.
2. In consultation with their supervisor, students will choose 2 additional 3-credit courses. These courses can be undergraduate (<500) or graduate (>500) courses.
- Note: If you intend on transferring to the PhD program you are required to take 9 credits at a graduate level (>500) and achieve >80% in any 9 credits.
- Note: The student’s set of courses should be listed on the “Initial Thesis Project” form (see forms) and handed in to the Graduate Program Coordinator.
3. Continual registration in your thesis (MICB549) is required. The Graduate Program Coordinator will do this on your behalf.
- Note: if the student account is in financial hold than they cannot be registered and they are responsible for registering when their account is settled.
Form a Committee
Committees consist of 2 faculty members plus your research supervisor. One faculty member must be from the M&I Department. Information regarding composition and membership function can be found on the G+PS webpage.
Complete a Progress Report
Progress reports are due 1 week before a committee meeting. A progress report template can be found here
Committee Meeting
A committee meeting is a forum to present your work and receive feedback and input from your committee. The minutes from the meeting are documented on a thesis committee report. This report is filled in by your supervisor, signed and returned to the Graduate Program Coordinator. For those students who are considering completing a PhD this meeting is the first opportunity a MSc student has to request a transfer to the PhD program.
