The design project report must meet standards defined by the CIS Graduate Committee. A separate document describes the project, gives examples of acceptable projects, and specifies the documentation necessary to complete the project report. At the conclusion of the project, you will give a formal oral presentation of the project and defend it before the advisory committee and other interested members of the University community. The advisory committee will determine when the project is acceptable and assign a final grade on the project. Transfer, Proficiency, and Prior Learning Experience Credit Transfer credit can be applied to the program subject to the rules of the Graduate School and subject to approval of the CIS Graduate Committee.
Current guidelines allow nine hours of transfer credit.
Transfer credit may be applied toward CIS core and elective courses, but not toward the culminating project course. Credit for proficiency examinations and prior experience credit will not be granted. Substitutions You may request permission to substitute other courses for core courses or to substitute other courses for those courses on the acceptable elective list. The request must be made by written petition to the CIS Graduate Committee. For a core course substitution, the petition must document that the student has acquired recent and equivalent background and is qualified for the substitute course, which, preferably, should be a more advanced course in the same area as the course it replaces.
