PROGRAM REGULATIONS
ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
Students are highly recommended to take English 26-100 (Composition) as students in Computer Science should develop good oral and written communications skills, besides technical proficiency in the basic science.
SELECTION OF COURSES
In selecting courses to meet the requirements of the programs outlined below, the following general regulations also must be observed:
1) A student registering in a course without having successfully completed the prerequisite course(s) will be required to drop that course unless the consent of Computer Science is obtained.
2) If two or more courses cover essentially the same material, only one may be taken for credit.
3) The prior approval of Computer Science must be obtained in order to substitute any courses for required ones.
4) Statistics courses other than those specifically listed as being required for the degree, or ones for which the required statistics courses are themselves prerequisites, may not be taken for credit.
5) In general, Computer Science courses offered in other areas may not be taken for credit. 60-104, 60-106, 60-205, 60-207, 60-270, 60-305, and 60-336 may not be used to satisfy the major requirements of any degree program in Computer Science, or in joint programs with Computer Science, unless permission is obtained from Computer Science.
GRADE REQUIREMENT
For the purpose of determining course prerequisites and for meeting major requirements for graduation, a minimum grade of C- is required for all Computer Science courses specifically enumerated in the major requirements for that program.
CALCULATION OF MAJOR AVERAGE
The major G.P.A. shall be calculated on the basis of the grades received in those Computer Science courses specifically enumerated in the major requirements for that program, and including any grades of less than C-.
