Note to registered certificate program students:
This certificate program has been revised to include courses emphasizing current computing practices. Five required courses and two electives are now required for the certificate. In the required courses CCPS 700, CCPS 800 and CKCS 501 are no longer offered and have been replaced by CCPS 731, CKCS 120, CKCS 121 and CKCS 630. In the elective group CCPS 306, CCPS 510, CKCS 120 and CKCS 505 are no longer offered and have been replaced by CCPS 590 CKCS 220 and CKCS 221.
For further information, please contact Dr. Chris Alexopoulos, program co-ordinator, (416) 979-5000, ext. 6986, or attend a program information night (see page 4). Students who have formally registered in the certificate prior to July 1, 1995 may complete the certificate requirements (within the time span specified) in effect at the time that they registered. Some of the courses from the former certificate are no longer being offered, therefore students may be required to substitute new courses (see Curriculum Substitution, page 22).
