1. Students wishing to complete one of the combined degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics, or Computer Science and Physics offered jointly by the Department of Computer Science and departments in the Faculty of Science will normally register in the Faculty of Science for their first year. Students wishing to complete a combined major degree in Health Information Science and Computer Science will normally register in the Faculty of Human and Social Development. Students wishing to complete a combined major degree in Visual Arts and Computer Science will normally register in the Faculty of Fine Arts.
2. Students wishing to complete a General degree in Computer Science will normally register in the faculty offering the second specialization area for their General degree in their first year. |
Availability of Courses 
Generally, courses offered in the Faculty of Engineering are open to students in other faculties who have satisfied any prerequisite courses. However some courses or sections are open only to students in the Faculty of Engineering or to students in specific programs. Faculty of Engineering program students are given registration priority in some courses. Courses and applicable restrictions are listed at <www.uvic.ca/engineering/courseaccess.php>.
Students in other faculties who propose to take courses offered in the Faculty of Engineering are responsible for determining if the courses can be used for credit in their degree program.
Minors
Minor degree programs are offered by all three departments within the Faculty of Engineering. The student should refer to the specific departmental entry for further details: Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Systems, and Mechanical Systems.
Any UVic student who wishes to pursue a Minor in discipline outside their program area may do so with the approval of that department/ faculty. Students should consult the appropriate advising centre for the development and approval of the minor. Courses that fulfill requirements for a Minor cannot form part of the requirements for the degree.
Limitation of enrolment
Enrolment in any course or degree program may be limited by the availability of staff and resources. Applicants who meet the minimum academic requirements are not guaranteed admission to any program.
