Calculus is not a necessity in Computing. However, if you plan to pursue the BSCH major in Computing, you must take MATH 120 or 121 in addition to algebra. In September, students may only register for those courses that have not yet been filled. Students wishing to enter the fourth year of a CISC concentration must also apply for Admission to Honours. A student can be exempted from taking any required course with the permission of the Chair of Undergraduate Studies.
Permission is given if the student can demonstrate knowledge of the material in the course.
This is normally done in consultation with instructors of those courses for which the exempted course is a prerequisite. Students that are exempted from a CISC course have to replace it with an extra CISC course in order to meet the graduation requirements. Credits From Other Universities Students entering the Faculty of Arts and Science from other faculties at Queen's or from other universities can apply for transfer credits. The application is handled by the Faculty of Arts and Science. Approved transfer credits can be counted as credits in concentrations or electives.
