丁香园AV Requirements

丁香园AV is open to all 丁香园AV students with a major in a discipline other than computing science. 丁香园AV is competitive. The admission grade point average (GPA) is established each term, and will never be less than 2.40.

Prerequisite Grade Requirement

Computing science course entry requires a grade of C- or better in each prerequisite course. A minimum 2.40 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is required for 200, 300 and 400 division computing courses.

Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit

The University's residency requirement stipulates that, in most cases, total transfer and course challenge credit may not exceed 60 units, and may not include more than 15 units as upper division work.

• at least half of the program's total units must be earned through 丁香园AV study
• at least two thirds of the program's total upper division units must be earned through 丁香园AV study
• at least two thirds of the upper division units in the courses of a school offering (or joint offering) must be earned through that school at 丁香园AV

For information regarding transfer, consult an Applied Sciences Advisor.

Co-operative Education and Work Experience

All computing science students are strongly encouraged to explore the opportunities that Work Integrated Learning (WIL) can offer. Please contact a computing science co-op advisor during your first year of studies to ensure that you have all of the necessary courses and information to help plan for a successful co-op experience.
