6. How do I find out if I can obtain credit for similar courses that I have previously completed?

Specific questions reqarding course equivalency will be handled by the registrar's office (709-864-4423) at MUN. If you have received credit for a course completed during your diploma program, you will be required to do another course in its place. For example, if you receive credit for Statistics 2500 because you have completed a Statistics course in your diploma program, you will have to complete another course in its place. Students usually choose another course from the elective list.

7. Can I transfer or complete any courses from another university and use them towards the Bachelor of Technology Degree?

Students must complete at least 30 credit hours (ten courses) at Memorial University. This means a student may complete a total of nine credit hours (three courses) at other universities. These credit hours must be transferable to Memorial University and must be part of the Bachelor of Technology Program. MSTM 4100/4200 must be completed at MUN.

Please check with the Registrar's Office for information on specific courses from other universities.

8. When should I complete my Technical Project and Report (MSTM 4100/4200)?

The Technical Project and Report is completed over two semesters. During the first semester, students complete MSTM 4100 (1 credit hour). At the end of this course, they will have completed and received approval for a project concept and project proposal. The project is completed and the report is submitted during the second semester when students complete MSTM 4200.

Students should complete most of the 12 courses before enrolling in MSTM 4100. A Marine Institute instructor has been assigned to help you before and during your MSTM 4100/4200 semesters. A complete set of details are on the Technical Project (MSTM 4100/4200) web site.
