Major Controls in Computer Science

Effective for new admits for Summer 2003 and after

  1. New Freshmen need a 103 Selection Index to be admitted directly into CS. Others will be admitted to Open Option Seeking Computer Science (XN34) and will be advised in the Center for Advising and Student Acheivement (CASA).
  2. External Transfer students will need to have completed a calculus course and a computer programming course and have a 2.5 GPA. Students not meeting these criteria will be admitted to Open Option Seeking Computer Science.
  3. Internal Transfer students will need to have completed CS153 and M160, each with at least a C or better, and have a 2.5 overall GPA to change into the Computer Science major. All other students will be advised to change to Open Option Seeking Computer Science.
  4. CS153 and CS166 and CS200 will be open to all students with proper prerequisites. CS270 and above will be closed to all but CS Majors and CS Minors and ECE Majors.
  5. No students will be allowed to declare a CS Minor as an Open Option Seeking Computer Science major (or any open option major). Students wishing to declare a CS minor will be held to the same standards as those applying to the major (though M141 may be substituted for M160).
