ER390 / ER400
The ER390 / ER400 series is the capstone project of all RNS students completing their certificate or diploma program. The process for these courses is a little different than most. To register for ER390, each student must have a project proposal submitted to, and approved by, the RNS Director. Only once the Director has sent approval to the Program office can a student enroll. There is then a maximum of three terms that the student can stay enrolled in ER390 to complete their project. In the final semester, they must also enroll in ER400. This is a required course that has two main components - compiling a restoration portfolio based on past work within the RNS Program, and a presentation of the ER390 project to a community partner.
For students considering their ER390 project in search of ideas, please first check previous projects and partners through our Final Projects portal. This will provide an overview of what students have done in the past, and will allow you to consider building on previous work rather than starting from scratch. Once you have determined a few viable options, please email the Director to discuss before starting your proposal.
For students who already know what their ER390 projects are likely to cover, please email the Director to discuss proposal preparation.
