Plan Selection For Students Finishing First Year
The plan selection period will open on SOLUS from May 16th to May 27th, 2022. See the Arts and Science description of plan selection, a few parts of which are summarized below.
At the end of first year, students who have completed 24.0 units must select a degree plan for second year. Any Arts and Science student who meets the plan selection requirements may select any plan in Arts and Science, not just the ones for the degree program in which they first registered. To automatically get into any Computing plan, you need a B in CISC 121 or 124, and a 2.6 cumulative GPA. A B- and 2.3 GPA get you onto a "pending list" from which we accept a limited number of students after the plan selection period ends.
This year, the Computer Science Specialization has 6 subplans, which used to be options:
- Fundamental Computation
- Biomedical Computation
- Data Analytics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Game Development
- Security
All plans are treated equally; there are no separate quotas for individual plans.
If you are not accepted, you can apply at the end of enrolment, as soon as you do qualify, via an "Academic Change Form" found on the Arts and Science website under "Registration-Related Forms."
There will be MS Teams meetings from May 12 to May 26 on work days for assistance with plan selection.
