Steps for Advising
- Obtain a copy of your degree requirements from Ramlink.
- Draft a preliminary class schedule, including classes, sections, days and times
- Schedule an appointment with CSC academic advisors to review your schedule.
General Suggestions for Class Registration
- Students are encouraged to take the degree-required CSC and MAT courses early to avoid graduation delays.
- CSC1310 (Foundations of Computer Science) is strongly recommended for all CSC first year students.
- Students need to complete MAT1302 (College Algebra) before taking CSC1321 (C++ Programming I). A concurrent enrollment in both courses is possible but needs to be discussed with academic advisors.
- Students are encouraged to consider a minor degree in Mathematics. To get a minor in Mathematics, in addition to all the mathematics courses required by the CSC degree, students need to take either MAT2331 (Calculus III) or MAT2351 (Differential Equations), and one 4000-level MAT course. CSC4371 (Numerical Analysis) is crosslisted with MAT4371 and it is highly recommended for the 4000-level MAT course required by the math minor degree. CSC4371 can also be used as one of the three required CSC electives.
- Students are encouraged to consider taking CIS courses to supplement their CSC coursework, especially for those who completed GEC requirements and/or need electives to fill their schedules.
- Students need to get familiar with Ramlink so they can check their transcripts (records of grades) and degree audit reports.
- Upon completion of 30 credit hours or more, students are able to register for classes online after meeting with an academic advisor.
- Online Forms can be found on the web page of the Office of Student Records (Registrar's Office)
