4. Notes
A. Students with no programming experience should review the Introductory Courses paragraph included on the School of Computing overview page in the Calendar.
B. In exceptional circumstances (such as a student who has transferred from another Faculty or institution), the distribution requirements in the complementary courses may be relaxed, at the discretion of the Chair of Undergraduate Studies. Alternative complementary courses may be selected in consultation with the School of Computing.
C. ELEC courses are offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Special permission may be required to register. All such courses will count as 3.00 units towards degree requirements in Arts and Sciences.
D. Requirement 2.A.i.f. or 2.A.ii.f. may be satisfied by any course with a significant writing component. Alternative courses may be selected in consultation with the School of Computing.
E. The following courses are recommended as electives for students following the Game Development Option: CISC 282, CISC 320 and COCA 201.
F. With the approval of the Undergraduate Chair, students who take CISC 500 working on a project directly related to Software Design may count 3.00 units towards SOFT_Design.
G. A maximum of 6.00 units from courses offered by other Faculties and Schools may be counted toward the program and/or Plan requirements. This includes courses in BMED, COMM, GLPH, LAW, NURS and courses in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
