- A student may require to take remedial courses before starting the regular MS program. Remedial courses are eight undergraduate courses:
- CmpE220: Discrete Computational Structures (equivalent: Discrete Math)
- CmpE250: Data Structures (equivalent: Data Structures and Algorithms)
- CmpE300: Analysis of Algorithms
- CmpE321: Introduction to Databases
- CmpE322: Operating Systems
- CmpE344: Computer Organization (equivalent: Computer Architecture)
- CmpE350: Formal Languages and Automata
- CmpE352: Introduction to Software Engineering
- Students, who cannot certify that they had passed these courses in their transcripts, need to register as a remedial student. If the student believes that he/she had already taken some of these courses but still observes them in the required course list in OBIKAS, then he/she should write directly to the Graduate Studies Coordinator.
- The semester type on OBIKAS should be REMEDIAL. This means that the GPA of these courses will have no effect on the MS GPA.
- Remedial courses have to be taken whenever they are open, i.e. prerequisite condition is not applied. Please note that each remedial course is open only once in each academic year (except the Summer terms)
- Remedial courses have to be completed in two successive academic semesters. Since Summer term is not an academic semester, it can be used to reduce the load in academic semesters as follows: Let 2015 represent the year. Then,
- If a student with remedial courses starts the graduate program in Spring'15, then in Summer'15 he/she can take some remedial courses of Fall'15 semester.
- If a student with remedial courses starts the graduate program in Fall'15, then in Summer'15 he/she can take some remedial courses of Fall'15 and Spring'16 semesters. The student should contact with department secretarial office so as to get registered to the Summer term at a discounted rate. The courses which the student passes can be dropped if the student contacts the Graduate Studies Coordinator before the add/drop period of Fall'15 starts. Otherwise, she/he has to re-take those courses.
- The student needs to pass from remedial courses with a GPA > 2.50. Failure from a course or GPA < 2.50 hinders the student from continuing further studies in CmpE. GPA for remedial courses is calculated after the student passes all remedial courses.
