i believe upgrade courses do count though.

so..i guess that's wrong :S

Summer school courses applying works for first year:

"To be eligible for a Level II Engineering program, a student must successfully complete all non-elective Level I courses with an overall Cumulative Average (CA) of 4.0 or greater. To help students who may have had academic difficulty during the year, the Faculty of Engineering has a remedial studies plan (called the M-Opportunity) that provides the opportunity to repeat failed courses in second term and/or in the summer. The results of these M-Opportunity courses are used to calculate a new CA (failed courses are still counted in the CA). "

I was wondering if anyone who has applied to reinstatement was able to continue at McMaster without having to take an year off.

It happens, but your reasons have to be very convincing.
