Please refer to your degree audit for a listing of all electives you are able to take. Each student's degree audit is unique, so please look at it carefully and ensure you are fulfilling your own requirements as laid out in your audit.

Note: These lists are guidelines only! You must have the prerequisites to take these courses.

If you are failing the prerequisites for one of the electives, you can seek permission from the instructor of the course. Please note that permission is not guaranteed. Since these are electives, plan to take something else if you do not qualify. The Engineering Permission Form can be found here.

If you are interested in taking a course from the Department of Computing and Software, please make sure you use this form. CAS does not accept the Engineering Permission Form.
