Transition plan for Level 1 Courses

All the old Level 1 courses have been phased out. If you still require one of the old Level 1 courses listed on the left-hand side of Table 1, you should register for the equivalent new Level 1 course listed on the right-hand side, in the semester it is offered.

Old Level 1 Course     Equivalent New Level 1 Course Semester
Course Code    Course Title   Course Code Course Title      
COMP 1400 Programming I COMP 1601 Computer Programming I  1
COMP 1401 Introduction to Computer Science Concepts I COMP 1600 Introduction to Computing Concepts          1
COMP 1402 Computer Science Mathematics I COMP 1604   Mathematics for Computing 2

Transition plan for Level 2 Courses

All the old Level 2 4-credit courses have been phased out. If you still require one of the old Level 2 courses listed on the left-hand side of Table 2, you should register for the equivalent new 3-credit course listed on the right-hand side, in the semester it is offered.

You should note that the equivalent courses are all 3 credits so you will have to register for one or more additional courses to make up the credit requirements for your degree. The additional courses should be COMP or INFO courses (Level 2 or Level 3).

Transition plan for Level 3 Courses

The old Level 3 4-credit courses listed on the left hand side of Table 3(a) will be offered for the last time in the 2018/2019 academic year. If you need one of these courses to complete your degree requirements, you should register for the old Level 3 4-credit course in the semester it is offered and attend the lectures for the equivalent 3-credit course shown on the right-hand side of Table 3(a).

You should note that none of the old Level 3 4-credit courses shown in Table 3(a) will appear on the timetable. So, you will need to follow the timetable for the equivalent 3-credit course on the right-hand side of Table 3(a).

For  example,  if  you  need  COMP  3000  to  complete  your  degree  requirements,  you  should  register  for  COMP  3000  in  Semester  2  of  the

2018/2019 academic year but attend the lectures for COMP 3601.

Table 3(a): Equivalent New 3-Credit Courses

All the other Level 3 4-credit courses have been phased out. If you still require one of the old Level 3 4-credit courses listed on the left-hand side of Table 3(b), you should register for the equivalent new 3-credit course listed on the right-hand side, in the semester it is offered.

You should note that the equivalent courses are all 3 credits so you will have to register for one or more additional courses to make up the credit requirements for your degree. The additional courses should be COMP or INFO courses (Level 2 or Level 3).
