10.1.4 RESEARCH IN OUTSIDE INSTITUTIONS

Research for the Ph.D. or M.A.Sc. degree, in part or in whole, may be carried out in an outside institution (e.g., industrial, governmental, or academic university). A student who does research at an outside institution must fulfil the same requirements as a student doing on-campus research. The only exception is that the time spent doing the off-campus research relevant to the thesis or dissertation will be credited toward the residence requirement. In addition to the general requirements, a student applying for permission to do research at an outside institution must provide:

1) A detailed statement of the research proposal, including arrangements for supervision, and of the circumstances under which the research is to be carried out;

2) Evidence that the institution has adequate facilities for the research; and that the applicant will be able to pursue independent research;

3) A proposed time schedule;

4) A letter of support from a responsible person in the outside institution giving approval of the proposal and accepting these regulations.
