SUBSTITUTIONS
Students in the internship version of this Plan will substitute 3.0 units
from COMP at the 300 level for requirement 1-F (CISC 499/3.0). In
addition, the B.Cmp.(Hons.) Program requirements will be increased
by 6.0 units from COMP at the 300 level, for a total of 126.0 units, if

taking a 16-month internship.
NOTES
Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in mathematics
should take additional mathematics courses.
Those students with no programming experience should review first
year course choices based on the Section on Introductory Courses at
the start of the chapter on Computing

Some CISC, MATH, STAT and BIOM option courses are offered only in
alternate years. The courses to be offered each year are announced on
the departmental web sites before the course registration period, and
students should refer to that information in planning their course
selections.
The following lists contain courses offered through other
Departments. In accordance with Academic Regulation 2.5 (Access to
Classes), students do not have enrolment priority in all of
these courses. Access to these courses may only be made available
during the Open Enrolment period, and then only if space permits.
