Formative Track
Frequently asked questions about the Formative Track and regulation migration
What is the Formative Track?
The Formative Track is a new feature of Regulation 2026 that replaces the traditional curriculum with a personalized plan.
It integrates three dimensions:
- Courses for obtaining credits
- Research project in development
- Internships and technical training in equipment and methods
You build the track together with your supervisor and an assessor designated by the CCP. The focus is on developing real competencies, not just accumulating credits.
Important: If you enrolled before 2026 and follow Regulation 2020, this system does not apply to you.
Can I switch from Regulation 2020 to 2026?
Yes, but it’s not automatic.
Rules:
- Students who enrolled through December 2025 follow Regulation 2020
- From January 2026 onwards, the new regulation applies
- To migrate, you had until 90 days from January 9, 2026 (early April) to apply
- The CCP analyzed case by case, considering the course stage
