1. Eligibility, Registration, and Re-registration Requirements

1.1: Admission to the School

Students who have successfully passed the national entrance exam for ENSCRBC may be admitted to the School’s Master’s program, subject to available space.

1.2: Enrollment and Re-enrollment

Student enrollment or re-enrollment is valid for only one academic year.

Students must re-enroll at the beginning of each academic year according to the established schedule. Upon re-enrollment, they are required to update their personal contact information (mailing address, email address, phone number, and others).

Payment of annual tuition fees is mandatory.

Upon enrollment and at each re-enrollment, a certificate of enrollment and a student ID card are issued to the student.

In the event of loss of the student ID card or certificate of enrollment, a loss report must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office to obtain a single replacement.

Students may only pursue studies at ENSCRBC if they are duly enrolled.

The original provisional high school diploma is returned only after the student has obtained the diploma, changed majors, or withdrawn from the program, at the student’s request and after signing a release form.

The student may, in exceptional cases, request a suspension of enrollment (academic leave) for a maximum of one year during the graduate program. This request must be justified by reasons of temporarily disabling illness, hospitalization, or any other reason deemed significant by the Academic Affairs Office. The school reserves the right to conduct any necessary verification. If the request is accepted, a certificate of suspension of enrollment is then issued to the student.

The handwritten request for academic leave, accompanied by supporting documents, must be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs no later than one month before the start of exams for the first semester of the current academic year.

At the end of the enrollment suspension period, the student is required to submit a request for reinstatement to the Academic Affairs Office at least two weeks before the start date of classes.

2. Course Structure

2.1

The duration of the program is two years. Courses are organized into four main categories of teaching units (UE). A teaching unit is a set of subjects grouped around a common objective and aimed at acquiring a specific skill:

Core Units (UEF): these provide students with foundational knowledge;

Methodological Units (UEM): these enable students to develop independence in their work;

Discovery Units (UED): these guide students toward in-depth study, career orientation, bridge programs, and professional development;

Cross-disciplinary units (UET): these bring together courses designed to provide students with practical tools (languages, computer science, etc.).

(see Article 1.2 of the “Practical Guide for the Implementation and Monitoring of the LMD,” MESRS, June 2011)

2.2

Courses are organized according to the “course tables” attached in the appendix. These tables specify the weightings for subjects and teaching units.

2.3

All courses are required.

3. Examination Procedures

3.1

The instructor responsible for the subject is in charge of the exam question they set. They specify the documents (dictionaries, lecture notes, etc.) or equipment (calculators, etc.) permitted during the exam, as well as the date, duration, and subject of the exam. In the absence of such instructions, no materials or documents are permitted.

3.2

Teachers’ presence as proctors for scheduled exams is included in their teaching load, just as is the grading of exams and participation on various examination committees. Proctoring

3.3

teachers must:

Ensure discipline;

Ensure compliance with these provisions;

Distribute exam questions, exam papers, and scratch paper;

Have students sign the attendance sheet;

Count the number of submitted papers and compare this number with the one listed on the attendance sheet. Any discrepancies found must be recorded in the exam report and reported to the Registrar’s Office immediately after the exam.

3.4

During scheduled exams, students are required to follow all instructions given by the proctors.

Any student who arrives twenty minutes after the start of a scheduled exam is not permitted to take the exam.

No student is permitted to leave the exam room before the end of the first half-hour following the distribution of exam materials.

At the end of the exam, students must submit their answer sheets, even if they are blank.

Students must bring the necessary materials to take the exam under proper conditions. They are prohibited from borrowing any materials from other students.

Students are required to write their first and last names at the beginning of the exam on all exam papers used, including scratch paper.

During scheduled exams, students must use only the exam papers and scratch paper provided to them.

Throughout the duration of exams, the use of cell phones (even to check the time), as well as the use of any programmable devices (unless authorized by the course instructor) or listening devices, is strictly prohibited.

3.5

In the event of cheating, the proctor is required to note the incident on the exam record, prepare a detailed report of the facts, and submit it to the Academic Affairs Office no later than 24 hours after the incident. The student in question is permitted to continue the exam.

Any instance of cheating automatically results in the offender being brought before the Disciplinary Committee.

Any breach of basic rules of integrity and honesty (plagiarism, various attempts at cheating, etc.) is punishable by sanctions ranging from a failing grade in the subject in question to expulsion. Offenses are listed, according to their severity, in the chapter on discipline.

4. Assessment Procedures

4.1

The grading scale applied is established by the instructor responsible for the course. It is based on a grading system ranging from zero (0) to twenty (20) for all courses. The final thesis with a grade exceeding 16/20 will be reviewed by a special committee.

4.2

The course unit and the subjects comprising it are assigned a weighting and evaluated with a grade.

4.3

Course units and subjects are also measured in credits.

A credit is a unit of measurement expressing the value assigned to each subject and each course unit. The credit value assigned to them is determined by reference to the semester-hour load (class attendance) required to acquire the knowledge and skills, the types of instruction provided, and the volume of activities the student must complete (independent study).

One credit is equivalent to a workload (class attendance and independent study) of 20 hours per semester. The total number of credits assigned to the course units comprising a semester is set at 30.

A completed course unit earns the credits assigned to it. These credits are transferable to any other program of study that includes the same course unit.

4.4

The instructors responsible for the course are required to organize a session for reviewing exam papers, during which students are provided with the model answers and the grading rubric used.

Grades must be posted before the grading committee meets, so that any errors can be corrected before the committee decides on the results.

Access to copies of end-of-semester exams and grade corrections will not be permitted after the examination committee’s deliberations.

A make-up exam session is organized after the committee publishes the results of the regular session.

Any student with an average below 10/20 or a failing grade in a course unit (excluding workshops) is eligible to take the make-up exam. Registration for the make-up exam is limited to courses in which the student did not pass.

At the end of the make-up session, the final grade will be the higher of the grades obtained in the regular and make-up sessions.

4.5

In the event of absence from a scheduled exam, the student must submit proof of absence to the Registrar’s Office within three (03) business days following the exam date.

Any unexcused absence from a scheduled exam will result in a grade of “zero” for that exam.

In the event of a justified absence from a scheduled exam, a make-up exam will be held within the following week.

Any absence from a make-up exam will result in a grade of “zero” for that exam.

In the event of an excused absence from an unscheduled quiz or test, it is up to the teacher responsible for the subject to make the appropriate decisions;

Any absence from a make-up exam (whether excused or unexcused) results in a grade of “zero.”

4.6

Instructors are required to adhere to the deadlines for submitting grades to students (no later than 15 days after the scheduled exam).

Instructors are required to submit grades to the academic affairs office after students have reviewed their exams, and in accordance with the schedule set by the Office of Academic Affairs.

Instructors are required to retain workshop assignments, copies of scheduled exams, and student evaluation grades for at least one year following the current academic year.

Workshop instructors are required to submit grades to the academic affairs office.

5. Progression Guidelines

5.1

Assessment is conducted every semester, and progress is evaluated annually.

At the end of odd-numbered semesters, grades are validated by a semester committee.

The semester committee is composed of the course coordinators for that semester.

The year-end committee validates the annual grades, deliberates, and announces the results.

The annual committee consists of the course coordinators for both semesters. It is chaired by the chair of the Academic Committee.

The committee has final authority, and its decisions are made by majority vote. In the event of a tie, the chairperson has the deciding vote.

During deliberations, the members of the semester or year-end examination board are tasked with:

To validate students’ enrollment and their grades earned during the semester;

Decide on the admission, deferral, or dismissal of students from courses, teaching units, and the semester;

To proceed, if necessary, with the reinstatement of students on a case-by-case basis, by evaluating their overall academic performance based on factors such as attendance, academic progress, participation, discipline, etc. In this case, the grade subject to reinstatement must be adjusted to 10/20. Reinstatement is not a right; it is solely at the discretion of the examination committee;

Propose, if necessary, a course of action for students who have failed.

The examination board for the final semester of a degree program also has the authority to validate the entire academic record of students in the same graduating class and to submit to the head of the institution a record of deliberations containing the list of successful students for the preparation and issuance of provisional certificates of completion and diplomas.

The presence of all members of the committee at the deliberations is mandatory.

5.2

The course grade point average (CGPA) is calculated based on the average of the grades obtained in the subjects comprising the course, weighted by their respective coefficients.

The weighting factors for subjects and teaching units are calculated in accordance with Article 10.3.1 of the 2011 BSL Guide and are listed in the attached course table.

The average for each subject within a course unit is obtained from the average of the grades earned during the semester.

The average of the grades for workshops, tutorials (TD), and laboratory work (TP) is calculated, respectively, based on the tutorial assessment grades and the grades for workshop and laboratory reports, as well as the student’s attendance and participation. TAs are assessed through presentations, written quizzes, homework assignments, independent study, etc. The weighting of these grades is at the discretion of the instructor responsible for the course.

5.3

The course is considered passed if the final grade is 10/20 or higher. A grade of less than 05/20 in any course results in failure.

The course is not passed if the average grade for the subject is below 10/20.

The course is definitively passed if:

The average of the grades for the subjects comprising it (weighted by their respective coefficients) is equal to or greater than 10/20;

None of the subjects comprising it has a failing average.

5.4. Compensatory Measures

The subjects comprising a course unit (UE) may be used to compensate for one another.

The core units UEF1 and UEF2 cannot be offset against each other; their respective averages must be equal to or greater than 10/20.

The “methodological” course units (UEM) and “cross-disciplinary” course units (UET) cannot be used to offset each other. The grade for each of these course units must be 10/20 or higher.

No offsetting is possible between semesters within the academic year.

5.5

Admission to the next academic year is granted if the student has achieved two (02) semester averages (MGS1 and MGS2) of 10/20 or higher, with no failing grades.

Students who have not successfully completed the year will be deferred. They must re-enroll in the same year and will be required to retake the courses they did not pass.

Students are required to check the results of the examination committees on the bulletin boards designated for this purpose.

Students are allowed to repeat a year only once during the entire graduate program. In the event of a further failure, they will be expelled.

The Academic Committee may, upon request and on an exceptional basis, authorize students who have exhausted their right to repeat a year to repeat the year one last time. Those concerned must commit, in writing, to repeating the year for the last time in the program. The letter of commitment is co-signed by the Academic Affairs Office and the student. In the event of another failure, the student is permanently expelled from the institution.

6. Attendance

6.1

Student attendance at all educational activities, workshops, lectures, lab sessions, tutorials, seminars, and internships is mandatory.

In the event of an absence, the student must provide a justification to the Registrar’s Office no later than 3 business days following the absence. If sent by mail, the justification must be postmarked within the same timeframe. Beyond this deadline, no justification will be accepted unless the reason is deemed valid by the Registrar’s Office in consultation with the Academic Affairs Office. A justified absence does not preclude any academic sanctions imposed by the instructor.

The proof of absence must be stamped by the Registrar’s Office, which will indicate the date of submission on it.

6.2

The following constitute valid proof of absence:

Cases of Absence	Required Proof
Death of a direct ascendant, descendant, or collateral relative	Death certificate: 3 days of absence authorized.

6.3

The institution’s administration reserves the right to verify the authenticity of the submitted documents. If necessary, a follow-up medical examination may be required.

6.4

In the event of a prolonged absence, and upon the recommendation of the Academic Committee, a notification of withdrawal is sent to the student concerned by regular mail and by certified mail with return receipt requested. If the student takes no action within one month of receiving the notification, the School Director reserves the right to order the student’s reorientation and, if necessary, their removal from the institution’s student roster.

6.5

Exclusion from a course occurs when the student accumulates:

Three (03) unexcused absences during the semester;

Or five (5) excused absences during the semester.

Exclusion is ordered by the Academic Affairs Office, upon the recommendation of the Academic Committee.

In the event of an irregularity (plagiarism or other) confirmed by the advisor or a member of the committee, they must submit a detailed report to the relevant academic departments prior to the thesis defense.Once the irregularity is confirmed, the thesis defense is automatically canceled, and sanctions are imposed in accordance with current regulations. The following

6.7

is considered plagiarism:

Any information or data used by the candidate and included in their thesis for which the source is not cited;

Any attempt to appropriate written texts, graphic or iconographic materials produced by other authors, or derived from theses and published findings by other researchers.

7. The Master's Thesis

7.1

The program leading to a master’s degree culminates in the writing of a thesis. Students may only defend their master’s thesis after successfully completing their coursework in Semesters 1, 2, and 3.

7.2

The objective of the master’s thesis is to develop the candidate’s abilities in scientific demonstration and reasoning, synthesis, interpretation of results, events, and facts, and the presentation of these results in a clear and explicit form.

7.3

The topic of the master’s thesis is proposed and supervised by a faculty member of the School. It may also be co-supervised by a specialist from within or outside the School.

The thesis must be formatted in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the style guide developed by ENSCRBC, which will be provided to each student.

7.4

The master’s thesis consists of:

A mandatory public defense.

7.5

The thesis consists of a text section of approximately 50 pages.

Copies of the report are submitted to the members of the committee no later than 10 days before the defense.

The thesis is evaluated by the committee and assigned a grade.

The thesis is submitted to the Academic Affairs Office in accordance with the schedule set by the Registrar’s Office (before the end of the fourth semester). Once submitted, a thesis cannot be withdrawn, under penalty of cancellation of the defense and postponement to the next session.

A student who fails to submit their thesis by the deadline without valid reason is considered to have withdrawn. They are given a grade of 0/20.

The defense lasts a total of ≤ 1 hour. The presentation of the project takes 30 minutes. At the end of the session, the jury retires to deliberate and assigns a grade for the defense.

The defense is the subject of a report signed by the chair of the jury. This report summarizes the jury’s deliberations and states the student’s results.

The grade must take into account the presentation of the thesis, the scientific merit of the results, the oral presentation and responses to questions, as well as attendance.

The jury grants the student’s admission when the defense grade, as determined by the jury, is equal to or higher than 10/20.

If the defense grade, as determined by the jury, is insufficient (below 10/20), the defense is postponed to a second and final session. Thus, only the defense jury may authorize the student to defend in the second session. This session is organized by the Academic Affairs Office.

7.6

Once the overall grade for the thesis has been determined, the committee awards the following distinctions:

16< Excellent< 20

Very Good ≥ 16

14 ≤ Good <16

12≤ Fairly Good <14

10 ≤ Fair < 12

7.7

The committee is proposed by the Academic Committees in consultation with the Office of Academic Affairs. It must be approved by the Scientific Council.

7.8

The jury is composed of 3 to 5 members, including:

one chairperson;

an examiner;

a rapporteur (the supervisor);

a co-supervisor, if required by the nature of the work.

A second examiner or a guest member may, if necessary, be invited. The jury must include one or two faculty members from the School (engineer, architect, archaeologist) and a professional conservator-restorer.

7.9

The chair of the jury must be a faculty member at the School. They are appointed by the School’s Scientific Council, upon recommendation by the teaching staff. Thesis

7.10

defenses are scheduled at the end of the academic year. However, a second session may be organized in September of the same year for reasons duly justified by the advisors.

7.11

After the defense, a corrected copy of the master’s thesis must be submitted to the Academic Affairs Office for storage in the library. If this copy is not submitted, no diploma certificate will be issued.

7.12

Unless there are compelling reasons beyond the student’s control, the student must attend the defense to which they have been summoned, or risk failing the course.In the event of the student’s absence or withdrawal from the defense, the chair of the jury shall draw up a report of absence, which shall be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs.A student who has duly justified their absence from the defense of their thesis may be authorized to reappear before a defense committee, which may only be convened during the second session in accordance with the schedule established by the Registrar’s Office.
