Computer Science Schedule

The Department of Computer Science is committed to providing students in all its programs with the best possible education and part of that commitment means establishing a schedule that will fit student needs.   The Department operates within both departmental resource and university policy constraints that require us to:

• Meet minimum enrolment levels.  The requirements are 10 students in an undergraduate course and five in a graduate course.  If enrolment falls below this level the department cannot run a course.
• Fit the room, daily schedule and instructor capacity.  We have a fixed number of faculty, a fixed number of available periods, and a fixed space in which to work.

As a result of these constraints, the department has established the following principles and priorities and attempts within those constraints, to ensure that:

• All core courses in the undergraduate program are offered each semester.
• All prerequisite courses are offered each semester
• Foundation courses (CS 1 and CS2 in particular) are offered with multiple sections and are available on both M-days and T-days.
• All non-elective courses are offered at least once a year
• All other courses are offered at least once every two years.
• All core graduate courses are offered once a year
• All other graduate courses are offered within an 18-month period.

To make your scheduling easier the department has developed a standard base schedule that will allow you to forward plan.   While the department makes every effort to meet and, given available resources to exceed, this schedule, you should work towards fitting your progress towards  your degree to this schedule.
