Update July 15, 2009: Added Computation Arts and Computer Science Option, Math and Stats and Computer Applications Option, and minor in Computer Science.
This is to re-iterate the changes made to the Computer Science curriculum; there is no new information. The purpose of this post is to go over the changes stated in the letters and make them clear. The letters that were sent out can be found here.
As you know, the Computer Science curriculum has been revised and modified. The 2009-2010 Undergraduate Calendar will reflect these changes. All Computer Science options have been affected.
If you are already enrolled in the Computer Science program you can choose not to transfer into the new program. In this case you must follow the curriculum specified in the calender of the year in which you were admitted. If you want to review your graduation requirements, you can find the ENCS undergraduate calendars for previous years through the following links:
- 2008-2009 Undergraduate Calendar
- 2007-2008 Undergraduate Calendar
- 2006-2007 Undergraduate Calendar
- 2005-2006 Undergraduate Calendar
Very important: If you choose not to transfer, then you must complete COMP 239 and COMP 229 in Fall 2009. If you have already completed these classes, then you are fine. However, they are going to be offered for the last time in Fall 2009.
The rest of this e-mail concerns students who want to transfer to the new curriculum.
For students in all options:
- If you want to stay in your option but transfer to the new curriculum, you must fill out a Student Request Form, available at Student Academic Services (EV 2.125), and submit it to them by August 31, 2009.
- If you want to transfer into a new option, you must fill out a Change of Concentration Form, available at Student Academic Services (EV 2.125), and submit it to them by August 31, 2009. You may transfer to the new options: Web Services and Applications or Computer Games.
The following program change applies to students in all options:
- COMP 238 has been renamed to COMP 232
The following changes are particular to a given option:
- Asterisk (*) denotes a course may be exempted.
- I urge you to read the letters mailed to you (links are below) if you have not already done so for details about electives, credits, and exemptions.
