- | * Requirements | + | === I'm thinking about declaring the Computer Science major. When and how can I do that? === |
+ | |||
+ | To declare the major, students need to meet at least one of the following two requirements: | ||
+ | * Have completed at least two CMPU major-required courses (e.g., 101, 102, 145) for a letter grade, and earned an average of C (2.0) or higher in those courses. | ||
+ | * Have completed CMPU-101 with a grade of C (2.0) or higher, be currently enrolled in a second CMPU course (i.e., CMPU-102 or CMPU-145), and have received a midterm exam grade of B− or above. | ||

+ | === What are the requirements for a CS correlate? === | ||
+ | Computer Science 101, 102 and 145; 240 or 241, plus at least one additional 200-level Computer Science course and one graded 300-level Computer Science course. Students are advised to consult with the department to determine the courses most appropriate to their interests. No course numbered 200 or higher may be elected NRO and counted toward the requirements for the correlate. An average grade of C (2.0) or higher across correlate courses is required. | ||

+ | === I know Java, can I place out of CMPU-102? === | ||
+ | CMPU-102 consists of two parts -- the first is an introduction to object-oriented programming and Java; the second covers data structures. Students who are proficient in __both Java and data structures__ are allowed to place out of the course by completing the largest programming assignment, and taking the final exam. To arrange this, please contact a CMPU-102 instructor at the start of the semester. | ||

+ | === I have a conflict with the lab. Can I come late/leave early? === | ||
+ | Unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Many of our courses use the extended lab time to give exams and it is imperative that you have the whole time period to finish. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === I have a conflict with one lab, but I can make the other. Can I switch labs sections? === | ||
+ | Our lab sessions are closely linked with the lectures, and you are expected to attend that lab that corresponds to your lecture' | ||
