The participation in the SURE program will be recorded on students鈥� transcripts. Specific courses (FACC 351-354 鈥� SURE Experience) have been created to offer students an official record of their participation in the SURE program.听
The traineeships funded through the Faculty of Engineering are available to all eligible 平特五不中 undergraduate students irrespective of their citizenship or immigration status and to a limited number of students external to 平特五不中, both Canadian and international. If selected, non-平特五不中 students will be expected to obtain the appropriate visa documents and insurance found at Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
