Try to maintain normal progress at all levels. Departures from the norm are discouraged to make the best use of Departmental resources for the benefit of all students. Note that normal progress does not depend on the total number of courses you have taken but only depends upon the computer science courses you have taken.
* Taking more than two 2000-level courses per term is not permitted.
* Enrollment is limited to at most four computer science courses per term, including transfer credits taken simultaneously. If space is particularly tight then enrollment is limited to seven computer science courses per year. This maximum is sufficient to satisfy normal progress. Experience shows that doing four computer science courses in one term is a very heavy load.
Processing Waiting Lists
If the Department maintains waiting lists for courses, students are selected not in waiting list order but by using a combination of the above criteria and the following criteria.
* The closer to graduation the higher the priority.
* Enrollment in 3000-level courses may be restricted to students in third and fourth year.
* Enrollment in 4000-level courses may be restricted to students in their fourth year.
* Departmental resource limitations - instructors, teaching assistants, equipment. Not only for the current course but also future courses.
* Grades in computer science and math courses.
* Exceptional circumstances.
Waiting lists are normally collected during the first two to four days at the beginning of a term. Results may be posted towards the end of the second week of the term. Please check with the Undergraduate Office for the exact procedure.
Choice of Elective
Please read the section on Elective Courses. To obtain the maximum benefit from your education you want to choose your electives carefully so that you both enjoy the courses and they complement your studies in computer science.

Moving to the New Programme Requirements
1 The starting year in computer science is defined as the first academic year in which you took or will take COSC1020.03, if you take courses in consecutive years. If you have a break in your studies then your starting year changes to the year in which you are readmitted.
2 If you start the computer science programme in or after the 1995/96 academic year you must follow the programme requirements as stated in this calendar. The degree checklists in this calendar apply to you.
3 If you started computer science prior to the 1995/96 academic year, then you may continue with your studies using the requirements in effect when in your starting year. In this case the degree checklists do not apply. You should use the degree checklists from your starting year.
4 You may elect to graduate under the new requirements but you must meet all of them. You are not permitted to mix and match old and new requirements. In particular, you must take MATH1310.03 to only take six 3-credit computer science courses at the 3000-level for an Ordinary Degree in Computer Science. If you are seeking a BSc you must take MATH1310.03 and an additional 3-credit science course, or you must take two courses with laboratory outside of computer science.
