COMPUTER SCIENCE OPTIONS

APPLIED MATH: WAHOO WELCOME (DAY BEFORE CLASSES START) COURSE PLACE OUT APPLIED MATH: WAHOO WELCOME (DAY BEFORE CLASSES START) COMPUTER SCIENCE: SEE COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT “Placing out” of a course allows you to move forward in the curriculum and explore other course offerings. You will not receive credit towards your GPA for courses you place out of (example: if you place out of APMA 1090, then you will not get an ‘A’ grade for the course).
