TO ALL COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS
As you may well have heard, the budget for the next two academic years, 2010/11 and 2011/12, will be very tight (unless the economic situation in the State of California improves significantly). In normal years, the Department of Computer Science offers 48-49 sections a year. We expect to be able to offer only 42-44 sections a year in 2010/11 and 2011/12. This will adversely effect the number of elective courses we can offer.

Students can always go by the Catalog they entered or are finishing on but this may involve waiting for electives to be offered (probably delaying graduation). The department has met and decided upon a 2010-2012 Advisory Substitution Program for each of the three tracks whereby other courses are both allowed and strongly suggested in place of 400-level electives. Please see the document:
ADVISORY SUBSTITUTIONS: 2010-2012 COMPUTER SCIENCE TRACKS

The Catalog requirements are maked in black ink; the substitutions are noted in red.
