Thanks to Dr. Zmeureanu for this presentation.

Pre-requisite and co-requisite courses

• Senate decision of March 2010: students must satisfy the prerequisites listed in the calendar

• No special approvals or exceptions.• FNS, DEF, INC, PEND do not satisfy prerequisite

requirements.• Conditional or Readmitted: Must have repeated

courses with D-range grades and get C- or better.• Follow the recommended course sequence.• Capstone: Prerequisites strictly enforced!• De-registration software.

200-before-400 Rule

• CEAB: take low-level courses before high-level courses.

• Calendar: 200-level before 400-level courses

• Capstone: no 200 level course at the same time as the Capstone project course.

Capstone (490) Project

• Students can’t register until a graduation audit is done.• The student must be a potential graduate for the next

convocation.• No registration without pre-requisites.• Readmitted students must repeat Ds and replace them

with Cs for 490 prerequisites.• No 200 level course can be taken while taking 490.

Beware: D-range grades

• A D range grade is NOT a passing grade.

• D-grades bring students in Failed or Conditional standing (GPA=1 for D)

• Students must repeat classes with D-range grades (if in Failed or Conditional standing)

Academic Code of Conduct• Students must submit an “Expectations of Originality” form with

all assignments, project reports, lab reports.READ what is printed on page 2:

Students “may not use solutions to assignments of other past or present students/instructors of this course or of any other course.”

• Team project = team’s responsibility:• Each team member is responsible for the rest of the team. • Each team member is responsible for each submission.

• Signature = responsibility:• Read a document BEFORE you sign it. • Do NOT sign the “Expectations” in advance.

• Academic Code of Conduct:• A student must not give a copy of his/her work to another student if

there is the possibility that the student will submit the work as his/her own.

• A student must not plagiarize: copy another student’s work, copy text from the internet, etc.
