I am currently a first year student in IT Networking, was accepted with an 81% average.

With 81% average, you probably got $6k scholarship offer as well. I am in the same year, same program, except it's actually just IT since we can't choose our majors yet. I got accepted with a low 70s average.

I noticed a couple of people in mechanical engineering, is this even accredited at UOIT as this press release seems to imply that only the Manufacturing and Nuclear Engineering programs are accredited. My nephew considered going there for engineering but the lack of accreditation would be a major issue.

You're correct, so far only the manufacturing and nuclear engineering programs are accredited. Your nephew will not get a ring if he attends UOIT for mechanical engineering.

Thanks, while I'm not sure if he even applied there, when he asked about engineering I told him to make sure whatever school and program he applied to was accredited. I'm surprised they are able to attract students to an unaccredited program, particularly something like mechanical engineering where being able to get your PEng designation is fairly important.

Hey, im just finishing 1st year commerce!

Does anyone know how to get into the school Wifi? I seen people with different laptops, and i heard there is a way to do it.

I don't go to OUIT, but the mechanical was introduced later than nuclear engineering, so it's common the program doesn't get accredited until the first group of mech. students graduate. Most programs do get accredited. I have never heard of one that didn't. If they did, the program coordinator should get fired !
