How do you know if you have enough "prior programming experience"?

• You received a mark of 80% or greater in CP-12 (Nova Scotia)
• You received a mark of 80% or greater in a senior high-school computing course that taught a programming language such as ActionScript, C, C++, C# , Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Visual Basic, etc.
• You have written programs on your own in a programming language such as: ActionScript, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Visual Basic, etc.
• You can complete this assignment in any programming language of your choice

If any of the above apply to you, we recommend that you either:

• Create your own schedule following the prior programming experience course selection listed below; or 
• Choose a course block that includes CSCI 1110 instead of CSCI 1105

We've created some pre-packaged schedules - meaning that you register in a block of courses - that includes all your courses, labs, and tutorials with no risk of overlapping.

To register

1. From the Registration screen on DalOnline, choose Block Registration.

2. Select the Term you wish to register for.

• 2021/2022 Fall
• 2021/2022 Winter

3. Select the radio button for your program then click on Register at the bottom
    of the page. You can also select Add to worksheet, which will add the CRN's for the
    courses to your Add/Drop page. 

Please remember to register for both terms! We've set the blocks up in pairs for the Fall and Winter term. As an example, if you pick option BACS - Year 1A in the Fall, then the best match in the Winter term will also be option BACS - Year 1A. 

You'll be able to access all BACS options through DalOnline. Examples are listed below:

Please note: 

• Most of the blocks have four courses to allow you to either add an elective of your choice or to take one less course each term during your first year.
• If you want to make a change later, you can drop or change an individual class.
• If one of the courses in your chosen course block is full, the course block will no longer work. If this happens, you can use the block as a guide and individually register for each course. As always, please connect with an advisor at undergrad@cs.dal.ca if you need any help.

Based on our experience, we've created suggestions to help you create a schedule that makes sense for you and your interests. Simply choose the commonly-used schedule that best suits you below.

(See above to determine which might be the right option for you)

We recommend that our Bachelor of Computer Science students take CSCI 1300 for their calculus requirement.

If, however, you think you are interested in math foundations, are considering taking a math, stats, actuarial science minor, doing a double major with another science discipline,  or even considering a minor in a math-rich discipline such as physics, re recommend you select MATH 1000 in place of CSCI 1300 in your first year schedule.
