___  CS 115 Introduction to Computer Science 1 (offered: F, W, S)

___  CS 116 Introduction to Computer Science 2 (offered: F, W, S)

___ 3 Electives, one must be in English, either one of ENGL 109, 129R, 140R, taken in Year One  or  ENGL 210E, 210F taken in Year Two. A student who receives greater than 80% in ENG4U English is exempt from the English elective requirement.

Year Two:

___ ENVS 278 Advanced Environmental Research Methods (offered: F)

___ GEOG 210 Image Interpretation and Photogrammetry (offered: F)

___ GEOG 387 Spatial Databases (offered: F,W,S)

___ CS 230 Introduction to Computers and Computer Systems (offered: W)

___ CS 234 Data Types and Structures (offered: F, S)

Students must take courses from each of the two following themes. The student may take more than one course in either theme:

___ Earth Systems Science                       One of: GEOG 201, 209

___ Development and Environment       One of: _____GEOG 202, 203,   PLUS:  _____ one of: GEOG 206, 208

___ 2 Electives

Note  We made GEOG 101 or GEOG 102  an option for Geomatics students because you have 28 courses required in your plan.  If you need the English requirement, plus are considering a CS Minor you would also need 2 MATH courses, bringing your total to 31 courses out of 40.

For Geomatics students who took GEOG 101 we will give permission numbers for GEOG 201 or 209 and for those that have GEOG 102 we will give permission numbers for GEOG 202 or 203.   Pre-enrollment for next fall is in February. 

You can complete a pre-enrolment override form and request either  GEOG 201/202 (offered in fall)  or  GEOG 203 /209 (offered in winter or spring term) so that you have the opportunity to get the course by pre-enrollment.  http://www.registrar.uwaterloo.ca/forms/index.html
