Hi Everyone,

You are taking a 4th year CIS course which suggests you are getting close to graduation.

We just want to highlight that if you have Co-op work terms like COOP*1000, COOP*2000 etc. and they have credits, those do not count towards the academic credit requirements.

The Honours degree requires 20.0 credits not including work term credits. Effective Summer 2019, Co-op work terms have been assigned a 0.5 credit weight.

The Student Planning tool includes the work term credits in the progress bar which is misleading. A student with five work terms for credit will require at least 22.5 credits whereas a student with four work terms for credit would require 22.0 credits. (We have asked for the planning tool to be corrected - agreed, it doesn’t make sense - it especially throws you off because why can’t it be accurate, right? Apparently it’s not possible to fix it.)

Please double check your academic credits.

If you find you are short on academic credits course selection is open until midnight tomorrow (September 16th). You can even overload yourself on September 16 pending available space in courses, up to 3.25 credits.

Sincerely,

---
