Approved Syllabi and Curricular Change Forms


This directory contains copies of approved course syllabi, and curricular change request forms for Computer Science courses. It is provided for reference by the instructors who teach the courses, and for reference by the undergraduate curriculum committee when considering curriculum changes. If you don't find the syllabus for a particular course here, that means we have not been able to locate the original .doc or .pdf file. We are working on getting scanned images of the approved files from the Dean of the Faculties. Until then, check with Ted Baker or Betty Stanton to find out if we have hard copy.

Instructors: You are only bound by the documents in the first column (Approved Syllabus). Please do not imitate the documents in the next column (Example Syllabus). Those are the syllabi as they were submitted when the course was first approved. University rules about syllabi have since changed. If you imitate those old syllabi you will be in violation of University policies!

Note that only course numbers shown with gold background are allowed to be credited toward the bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
