About the Grad Student - Study Structure

[Michael Schumacher]

Hi, I have this doubt from the beginning about the semester structure, people please help me..

So, there are three semester's - Fall, winter, summer and most students study 2 semesters, i.e fall and winter and they take summer semester off...
So it's 2 semester per year. So even in the admission letter that i have received from concordia, quotes that " M.Eng is a two year course - 4 semester (2 semester per year)
So i am joining Concordia this summer (of course, if visa is approved), and i have paid the fees for 1 year (which is for two semester). Now you should have understood my doubt. I have to study 2 semester per year for 2 year, now can i take the summer 2013 off (i am joining this summer)...
Or senior students, please tell me what's the best study plan or structure for students joining summer 2013...

Thank you

It is written 2 academic year which means 16 months not 24 months.

Summer semester is not OFF for all programs. If they accepted you in May Intake. Then obviously they have the M.Eng summer semester.
90 % International students take Semester off by their own choice. This is not a official semester off from college or University.

Advice- Never take semester off , it just disturb the momentum and make you careless towards studies.

Good Luck.
Enjoy the Summer

But we are paying fees only for two semesters (per year), so do we need to pay extra fees if we are going to study all three semester...

See my above comment properly .
2 Academic years means 16 months not 24 months.
It is moreover same as cell phone plans "Pay and use"

You just need to ask the college that M.Eng Program have classes in summer or not ?
If the program is starting in May , Then you will attend May,2013[Summer] , Sept,2013[Fall] , Jan,2014[Winter] and May,2014[Summer]. And Graduate

Don't worry you will get 3 year PGWP.
