Computing Science Undergraduates

Students are discouraged to enroll in courses with a time conflict. Students are fully responsible for meeting all course requirements and deliverables. This includes attendance at lectures/labs, mid-terms, exams, team meetings, etc. Instructors are unlikely to make adjustments to the course grading scheme, due dates, or exam schedules to accommodate time conflicts.

The deadline to submit this form is the 5th business day of the term at 10am, at which date this form will be disabled.

A course duplication request will be granted only when both the following conditions hold:

1. there is no reasonable alternative to course duplication that will allow the student to continue with the intended program of studies, and
2. there is clear evidence to support a belief that the student will be successful in both the duplicated course and the intended program of studies.

Students MUST meet with an advisor prior to completing this form. Contact FAS Advising.

The deadline to submit this form is the 5th business day of the term at 10am, at which date this form will be disabled.

This form is for students who are seeking enrollment past the self enrollment period and require Instructor and Department approval.

For the late enrollment request to be considered:

• Students must have a minimum CGPA of 2.40 or have PREVIOUSLY received approval to enroll, if requesting to enroll in CMPT 200/300/400 level course(s)
• Students must have met all prerequisites for the requested course(s), or have PREVIOUSLY received a prerequisite waiver
• There must be no time conflict between courses  - if you are enrolled in a course that has a time conflict with the course that you are requesting late enrollment, you must indicate in the form that you wish to swap/drop the course. We will drop you from the course with the time conflict if we are able to process the late enrollment.

Late enrollment is not guaranteed.

This form is enabled on the 6th business day of the term at 9am.

The deadline to submit this form is the 15th business day of the term at 10am, at which date this form will be disabled.

Students are discouraged to take an academic course while on Co-op unless it is a pre-requisite for a course you plan to take once you have completed the Co-op work term. If you do decide to take a course during your Co-op work term, no more than ONE course is allowed.

Students are fully responsible for meeting all course requirements and deliverables. This includes attendance at lectures/labs, mid-terms, exams, team meetings, etc. Instructors are unlikely to make adjustments to the course grading scheme, due dates, or exam schedules to accommodate time conflicts.

This form can be used for students wishing to:

• Waive requirements (such as the number of credits needed to enter a course), or
• Appeal a Grade. Note — The first step in a grade appeal is to contact your course instructor about your concerns. If following this meeting, your concerns are still unresolved, you may file an appeal. You MUST give specific reasons why you feel you deserve a higher grade. Please READ the university policy found here BEFORE applying.

Please note the following:

• For appeals concerning Transfer Credits, please submit detailed course outline(s) and copy of calendar description(s) to the Student Services office who will then initiate evaluation procedures.
• For appeals concerning Withdrawals, a completed course withdrawal form and other supporting documents should be returned to Registrar's General Enquiries Counter. Please refer to the Student Services page for more information.
• University policy specifies that appeals concerning violations of the SFU Code of Academic Integrity are handled by two bodies, the University Board on Student Discipline (UBSD) and the Senate Committee on Disciplinary Appeals (SCODA). If you wish to appeal an instructor's decision that you have violated the SFU Code of Academic Integrity, you should consult the Office of the Ombudsperson for advice on submitting an appeal to UBSD or SCODA.

CMPT 120 is a required course for all Computing Science major, minor, and certificate students. 

Students who:

• already have some computing knowledge
• took computing science courses in high school or elsewhere
• worked in a business or volunteered as a computer programmer
• have written programs of 200-300 lines of code or more

can choose to take the CMPT 120 Placement Test to help determine whether they can bypass CMPT 120 and move directly into CMPT 125. 

If students pass the test they will be given a permanent pre-requisite waiver for CMPT 120 and can then enroll into CMPT 125. If students do NOT pass the test, they are required to take CMPT 120 and will enroll in CMPT 125 later in their program.  

The deadline to take this test is the 5th business day BEFORE the start of the term, at which date this form will be disabled.
