Foundation Course FAQ

I received a letter saying I was admitted provisionally. Can my foundation courses be waived?

Academic advisors may not waive these requirements, but you may file an appeal with the department or test out.

To appeal, you must submit a foundation course appeal form along with a letter that explains both the reason for your appeal and the new information you are providing that was not included in your original admission materials/self-evaluation form. Any appeal submitted without this letter will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed by the department. Appeals must be filed in the CS Department Office prior to the date of the test out exams of your first semester in the CS department and only after signing your provisional/contingent admission contract.
