ECE 4803: Data Communications and Networking

Calendar Description

Wait-list Policy

This technical elective will not be offered until the fall of 2026.

There is a wait-list policy for ECE 4803, fall 2026.

• Undergraduate and graduate students must have passed the online required online lab safety test after January 8, 2026, otherwise they will remain on the wait-list. The safety test is required each year and the score must be 100 percent. The link to the test changed each year; it will be posted in D2L courses once it is available.
• This is an in-person course only for students who are enrolled in a degree program at the University of New Brunswick. This is not an online course.
• If you want to take this course, I recommend that you sign up on the wait-list for the section. If you leave the course, or leave the wait-list, and try to re-enter by returning to the wait-list, you might not get back in the course. The course has filled up in in the past, it has not filled in recent years.
• The section is limited to 48 students due to the lab space.
• Undergraduate students must have passed ECE 3221, otherwise they will remain on the wait-list.
• Graduate students must have passed an equivalent to ECE 3221 in their undergraduate degree, otherwise they will remain on the wait-list.
• The first student on the wait-list is processed first.
• Each work day, between today and the day before the first day of classes in September, undergraduate students are processed on the wait-list, meaning on these days undergraduate students are given priority over graduate students. After a student is given permission to register, they will receive an email and they have approximately one day to register.
• On and after the first day of classes, both undergraduate and graduate students are processed on the wait-list and undergraduate and graduate students are treated equally; the first student on the wait-list is processed first. In other words, graduate students will not know if they are in the course until the first day of classes in September.
• This course is an undergraduate technical elective, not an undergraduate core course, and if you are unable to take this course due to limited enrollment, I regret the sitation, but you will have to find another course.
