Not more than 6.00 credits from courses at the introductory (1000) level may be counted towards the 20.00 credit requirement.

   The program requires 6.00 Computing and Information Science credits at the 3000 level or above, which must include 2.00 credits at the 4000 level. The area of application requires an additional 1.00 credits at the 3000 level or above. The Area of Application is a graduation requirement and must be approved by Semester 4 by the faculty advisor.

   Students must consult the faculty advisor for approval of their Area of Application by semester 4. Not all disciplines or courses may be available as areas of application.

   Students failing to meet the graduation requirements of the honours program may apply to graduate with a general degree if the requirements for the general degree are met.
