.: Graduation Requirements

ARTS STUDENTS MATRICULATED IN ACADEMIC YEARS:
2002-2003, 2003-2004, and 2004-2005

Important Notice:
CNM Major students cannot use the attached list of IT/CS modules to fulfill their
-   General Education Modules (GEM)
-   Cross-Faculty Modules (CFM)
-   Breadth (Elective outside student's Faculty-University Level Requirement)
-   Unrestricted Elective Modules outside student's major (UE)

Students are strongly urged to take IT1001 and IT1002 during their first year of study to access higher level SoC elective modules in subsequent years. However, IT1001 and IT1002 cannot be counted towards the CNM graduation requirements, but they can be used to fulfill your breadth requirement, unrestricted elective module, or for a minor in SoC. Please be aware that IT1001 precludes GEK1511.
