Courses Eligible for Undergraduate Enrolment 2025–2026 Fall/Winter
In exceptional circumstances, undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts & Science may be granted permission to take a graduate course sponsored by an Arts & Science graduate unit as part of the student’s undergraduate degree.
The deadline for undergraduate students to apply for graduate course enrolment for fall 2025 and winter 2026 is July 21, 2025.
Undergraduate students wishing to enrol in a graduate course offered by the Department of Computer Science must follow these steps:
Complete the Faculty of Arts and Science form, leaving the instructor and associate chair undergraduate signature lines blank
Submit the Request for Undergraduate Enrolment in DCS Graduate Course Form;
The Department will reach out to instructors so that they can review requests, and will follow up with students to let them know whether they have permission to enrol;
Undergraduate students who are either an Arts & Science student in a program other than Computer Science or are not Faculty of Arts & Science students and would like to count the course towards their program, will need to request this directly from their program’s corresponding undergraduate office. For Arts & Science students in a Computer Science program, the course will count as equivalent to a 400-level CSC course.
Students submitting a request to enrol in a graduate course will be required to provide an up-to-date copy of their Academic History for review by the course instructor, as well as a brief statement explaining why they want to enrol in that course and why they have the necessary background for that course.
Approval for enrolment in a graduate course may require that:
The student has received high marks (A or A+) in relevant undergraduate courses
The student meets additional criteria to enrol in the course, as determined by the course instructor.
To be considered for a graduate course, students must complete the Request for Undergraduate Enrolment in DCS Graduate Course Form. The form will be available as of June 19, 2025 and must be submitted to the department by July 21, 2025.
Permission to enrol in a graduate course is not always granted and space in these courses is limited. Students should enrol in an alternate course that can be taken if the requested graduate course is not approved by the instructor or there is no space in the course.
