Student Alerts

Instructor descriptions for any hybrid sections will appear on Canvas when instructors activate the classes there. 

Hybrid specifically describes a course where some sessions take place in person, and some sessions take place fully online. While the in-person meetings may often include blended teaching elements, hybrid courses set the expectation that all students will engage in some parts of the course in person and in other parts of the course through remote, fully online participation.

The following are examples of hybrid courses:

• Students regularly meet in person twice a week on Mondays and Fridays and meet fully online on Zoom on Wednesdays. 

• Students meet regularly in person throughout the term, but there are a significant number of scheduled sessions where students meet online or work asynchronously instead.

Students can schedule appointments Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 9:00-11:00 am EST and 1:00-4:00 pm EST or drop-in meetings Wednesdays, 9:00-11:00 am EST and 1:00-3:00 pm EST by visiting https://gatech.navigate.eab.com/app/ or accessing Navigate360 through your Buzzport account.

Please use the comments area to add a more detailed reason for all appointments. The comments assist your advisor with preparing for your meeting. Advisors are also available to answer your questions via email. Use the following link to find your assigned advisor: https://www.cc.gatech.edu/undergraduate-advising-team . Accepted BSMS students should make appointments with their assigned BSMS advisors.

1. CS 3001 (Computing, Society, and Professionalism) satisfies the ethics requirement. It has separate lecture and recitation sections. Students must register for a lecture AND one of the corresponding recitation sections. When offered, the following courses also satisfy the BSCS and BSCM ethics requirement: CS 4001 (abroad programs only), CS 4002, CS 4003, CS 4726, and SLS 3110.

2. CS 1100 A1, A2, and A3 are restricted to incoming CS and CM students in fall. Graduating seniors, transfer students, and students who changed majors to CS can register for the B1 section, which is restricted to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This course will be offered on a letter grade basis only, effective fall 2026.

3. Multiple student alerts outlined the prerequisite changes for these CS courses: 2340, 4240, 4420, 4476, 4641, and 4650. Check OSCAR for the requirements. 

4. Visit this Core Requirements infographic for a quick view of the BSCS core requirements.

The College of Computing uses the Waitlist function for registration. If a class is full, you must add your name to the waitlist for consideration. Waitlists do not guarantee access to a course. Please review the information and instructions for Waitlisting at: http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/waitlisting.php.

Remember to check your email SEVERAL TIMES DAILY for waitlist movement during registration. When your time ticket opens, you can add your name to available waitlists. The waitlist process will start when all time tickets are open. Incoming students cannot access courses with waitlists. Therefore, some 1000 and 2000-level CS courses will not have waitlists during phase I registration. Waitlists carry over to phase II registration. However, it is crucial to add yourself to the waitlists that are available during phase I.

OPTION 1: Project Class

OPTION 2: VIP- Vertically Integrated Project

OPTION 3: Research Option

OPTION 4: Start-up/Entrepreneurial Option

1. Review the Junior Design Document for descriptions of these options and registration instructions for each one. If a student begins one option and changes their mind, they must start and complete a different alternative (no mixing of junior design options).

2. Instructions for LMC 3403 are on this LMC registration site

3. Fall 2026 Special Topics Junior Design Options:

• CX 3803  (Capstone Project Implementation) + CS 3803 (Technical Communications)= 6 total hours - Team-based capstone experience allowing students to analyze a problem for a customer and manage the solution development through the full project life cycle.  Three sections are offered in the fall. One section of CS 3803 is offered in the summer.

  CS 3803 is a concurrent prerequisite for CX 3803, so students must take CS 3803 before or in the same semester as CX 3803. Can mix and match CX 3803 and CS 3803 sections.

  This one-semester course combination satisfies the Junior Design requirement.

  • Junior Design (Capstone) CS 3803/CX 3803 withdrawal options:

    • If you plan to withdraw, your options are: 
      • Drop both CS 3803 and CX 3803 together.
      • Drop only CX 3803 and remain in CS 3803. In this case, completion of CS 3803 will meet the Technical Communications requirement for a future Junior Design option (e.g., VIP, Create-X) or for future re-enrollment in CX 3803.
      • Students cannot drop CS 3803 and remain enrolled in CX 3803.

     

• CS 4803 section ICD (Entrepreneurial Capstone)  +  Technical Communications (LMC 3403 or CS 3803) = 6 total hours. Entrepreneurial-minded students will work in teams with other College of Computing students to identify, research, and validate real-world problems that have a demonstrable market need. After market validation, students will design, develop, and iterate on a primarily software-based Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to address the chosen problem. This course combination satisfies the Junior Design requirement.

  • CS 4803 section ICD prereq: CS 2340, minimum C grade, CS Ethics, minimum C grade
  • LMC 3403/CS 3803 prereq: ENGL 1102                                     

   

  • CS 4803 will have a permit restriction during phase II registration. Students who meet the prerequisites can contact their assigned advisors for a permit.
     
  • One section of CS 4803 ICD is offered in the fall. Other 4803 courses on the schedule do not count for junior design.

1. GRADE OF “C” REQUIRED-CS majors must make a grade of “C” or higher in all CS and thread required courses.

2. PASS/FAIL CREDIT- CS majors must take all coursework, except free electives, for a letter grade. If you meet GT Institute regulations, you may use up to six hours of free electives as pass/fail credit.

1. CS 4803 HSI Health Sensing Interventions is approved for Human-Centered Technology

2. PSYC 2012 replaced the PSYC 2015 requirement. PSYC 2012 is three hours and does not include a lab. Students on the 2024-2025 or earlier catalogs must use PSYC 2012 plus one free elective hour to satisfy the PSYC 2015 requirement. 

3. PSYC 2012 permits

• CS and CM Spring degree candidates who completed an Online Application for Graduation (OAG) before the Wednesday prior to phase I are placed on the permit list that the CoC sent to the School of Psychology (SoP) to enter permits for phase I. 

• Students who apply after this date are added to a late permit list. CoC sends this list to SoP on the last day of Phase I to enter permits between Phase I and Phase II.
• Restrictions will remain in place for the first 48 hours of phase II to allow students with later permits to register.
• PSYC 2012 restrictions are lifted after 48 hours of phase II registration.

Advisors can make the substitution throughout registration, so be patient if you do not see it on DegreeWorks.
