Graduation Requirements
In addition to the requirements listed below, students must satisfy the University regulations, including the process of Academic Performance Evaluation (see the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar), and the Academic Regulations and Requirements for the Bachelor of Industrial Design.
Students should consult the School when planning their program and selecting courses.
Academic Performance Evaluation
Students in Industrial Design are subject to the standard Academic Performance Evaluation process with the following additions and amendments:
- The Industrial Design program does not define a Major CGPA. Students are assessed at each Academic Performance Evaluation using their Overall CGPA and the Core minimum defined in 2 below.
- The courses in the Industrial Design Core are as follows:
- Industrial Design Core
- IDES 1300, IDES 1301, IDES 2203, IDES 2300, IDES 2302, IDES 3300 [1.0], IDES 3302, IDES 4310 [1.5], IDES 4301, IDES 4302 Good Standing requires a grade of C- or better in each course of the Industrial Design Core.
- Students in Industrial Design are either in Good Standing or on Academic Warning. Students who satisfy the conditions for Suspension at an Academic Performance Evaluation must leave the Industrial Design program with the status Ineligible to Return (ITR).
- For more information regarding academic performance evaluation in the B.I.D. program, consult the Academic Regulations of the University, and Academic Regulations and Requirements for the Bachelor of Industrial Design Degree sections of this Calendar.
Prerequisites
The following broad course prerequisites specify requirements for access to upper year project courses.
Registration in IDES 3300 [1.0] normally requires successful completion of all first-year and second-year course requirements (Items 1, 2, 3, 4 below).
Registration in IDES 4310 [1.5] normally requires successful completion of all third-year course requirements (Items 5, 6, 7, 8 below).
Absence and Readmission
Students in Industrial Design who intend to be absent for a fall/winter session must request permission from the School in advance. Students who are absent for a fall/winter session without permission will be required to apply for readmission to the program in advance of registration.

- Although the Industrial Design Seminar IDES 4001 takes place in the winter term, the preparatory work that students are required to do must be completed in the fall term, and therefore requires registration in the course in that term.
- One successfully completed Industrial Design Co-op work term is equivalent to IDES 4400.
- The electives under Item 10 above must be chosen in consultation with the School on the following principles:
- the electives chosen should serve to deepen the student's understanding of fields related to Industrial Design or disciplines that are relevant for industrial designers;
- the electives chosen should preferably be related to the Industrial Design projects and provide basic and/or actual information for these projects.
