Keep your degree checklist as updated as possible to keep track of your progress and to help make a plan for your upcoming terms.
You should also meet with an advisor to confirm academic plans. The academic calendar is the official source of information regarding degree information and academic issues.
You will complete your degree with the program regulations that were in effect when you were admitted to the degree.
For various reasons, there may be changes and a required course cannot be taken. This can be common if you are completing your studies part-time. In such cases, an advisor can help to seek a dean's permission to adjust your degree requirements. For example, this permission can substitute a course which is being offered for a required course - which is not offered.
We invite you to contact any faculty member if you have questions on:
If you are a new or continuing student and require advising, you can book an appointment with your SASE Advisor.
A course substitution form is used when you cannot take a required course, but a faculty advisor can identify an acceptable substitute. You should keep a copy of this form in case the substitution has been forgotten when you are assessed for graduation.
An application for honours or specialization is made if you want to graduate with an honours and/or specialization. This request is ideally made after second year. Unless you do this, the department will not realize that certain courses required for specialization or honours need to be offered.
We no longer admit students into the specialization in High Performance Scientific Computation. This form is obsolete and the required courses for specializations have changed.
Unless you are taking the honours thesis, you must take CS4983, which involves the preparation of a technical report under the supervision of a faculty member. It is important to choose a topic early and understand the structure of the course. See the CS4983 requirements for more information.
For more information, contact the Department of Computer Science.
