As a new Master's, DESS or PhD students, you will have to prepare a mandatory study plan. 

The study plan consists of a list of all the academic activities (workshops, courses, internships, projects and seminars) and research activities you must complete for your program.

The study plan proposal must be completed using the designated form and must be approved by your Supervisor (DESS and professional master’s) or your Research Supervisor (Research-based Master’s and Doctorate/PhD), and by your graduate studies coordinator. Your study plan must then be approved by the Registrar’s Office no later than January 21, 2024
