-===== Enrollment =====
-You need to have a GPA of 4.5 or better to enroll in this course. Moreover, you cannot enroll in this course online without permission. You must instead carefully follow these steps:
-=== Find a Supervisor ===
-If you have an idea for a project, you need to convince a faculty member in the department to be your supervisor. If not, click on Available Projects on the left to see the list of projects suggested by prospective supervisors for this term; select a project that you would like to work on; and get in touch with the supervisor listed next to it. Note that faculty members are not obliged to supervise any applicant and, hence, may deny your request for a variety of reasons, e.g. they may not have time to supervise, the project may not be appropriate for this course, you may not have certain required qualification (grades in specific courses or experience in particular software or hardware systems), etc. If you cannot find a supervisor in the department then you cannot enroll in this course this semester.
-=== Prepare a Contract ===
-Download the contract template (see link on the left) and discuss its contents with your supervisor. Make sure all the applicable elements of the contract are fully specified and complete with dates, percentages, etc. Sign the contract and ask your supervisor to sign it. Keep a copy of it and leave the signed original in the mailbox of the course director (in the department office) by the date shown under Important Dates (see link on the left). If you cannot submit the signed and completed contract by this date then you won't be able to enroll in this course.
-=== Enroll in the Course ===
-The course director will examine the contract to ensure that the project's level and scope are appropriate for this course and that all elements in the contract's template are fully specified. If this is approved, the director will sign the contract and inform you (via the email address you specified in the contract) how you can enroll in the course. You must add the course by the date shown under Important Dates (by following the instructions you will receive in the course director's email to you). Enrollment in the course after this date is prohibited by the Registrar's office, and they are strict about this. If you have not completed enrollment in the course by this date, then you will not be able to take the course this semester.
-**PLEASE NOTE**: If you have submitted a properly filled-out and signed contract as described above, and you haven't received email back from the course director within 3-4 days, then something has gone wrong, so please send the course director a follow-up email immediately.
-=== Post Enrollment ===
-Part of the course contract will include participation in a project presentation. This will be conducted one day in the first week of the fall term. Each student must prepare a poster describing their project, and be prepared to describe and explain the work they have done. Further details will be provided later by email.
-It is your responsibility to ensure that all milestones specified in the contract are achieved by their due dates. You should be sure you obtain feedback from your supervisor prior to the drop date for the course. In addition, monitor the What's New page of this site as it will log any changes and announcements (e.g., the date and location of the project presentations).
