Undergraduate Program Policies
Course Prerequisites
Before enrolling in any Computer Science course, students should read the course description and ensure that they have completed all prerequisites with a grade of C or better. Students who have not met this requirement may be administratively dropped from the course.
Continuation Criteria
Admitted CS undergraduate students who are not making acceptable progress towards their degree requirements will be dropped from the program and required to reapply for admission. Acceptable progress is defined as completion of at least 8 credits of coursework with acceptable grades (C or better for required CS courses, C- or better for required non-CS courses) satisfying departmental requirements, over the preceding 12 months. Readmission will be determined by the CS Appeals Committee.
Differential Tuition
Undergraduates admitted to the CS program will be assessed tuition at the Undergraduate Engineering rate (see “Differential Programs-Undergraduate” in the PSU fee schedule). Post Baccalaureate students will be assessed tuition at either the Undergraduate or the Graduate Engineering rate, depending upon the level of course taken.
