COMMENT: For implementation purposes, it is noted that the CS Department should be sensitive to the scheduling needs of freshmen and should work closely with the Registrar's Office to ensure freshmen are not overloaded in their first year because of 4- credit courses. Subsequently, departmental advisors must work with majors to make certain that they carry sufficient credits to graduate in a timely manner. cad c: Ms. Frances Axsmith, Assistant Registrar Ms. Candace Deen, Academic Information Officer Mr. Mariano Gonzalez, University Registrar Mr. Colin McLeod, Director of Academic Advisement Deans' Council
