When is a good time to apply for an Honours degree in Computer Science?
Although a student can apply anytime between the 2nd year and the 4th year of their degree program, the best time to apply for Honours is during or after completing 3rd year, and certainly before starting the 4th year of studies. Probably the normal time to apply is in second term of your third year. It should be noted that a student must have at least a 70% average to be considered for the Honours program. Also, a student should decide towards the end of their second year whether they are considering an Honours program, because their selection of CMPT courses for third year is affected by this decision. In March of your third year is a good time to see an adviser for help making this choice, and help selecting their third year CMPT courses. Applications for the Honours program are available at A & S Student Academic Services in 265 Arts.
