Instructions: Retrieve the Joint Application for CPSC 391 and CPSC 491 in RTF, complete it, and submit it to the faculty member who will be serving as the supervising instructor.

CPSC Department Policy:

Students who wish to take CPSC 391 need to have completed CPSC 230. Students who wish to enroll in individual study CPSC 491 need to have successfully completed two Computer Science courses numbered greater that 302, and should have at least a 2.7 major GPA.

In special cases when a student requesting an individual study project either does not have the required minimum GPA of 2.7 or has not taken the required prerequisite courses, permission can still be granted on the advice of the sponsoring faculty member, after discussion and approval of the department members.

In order to graduate with departmental honors, the student must have an overall GPA of at least 3.00, a major GPA of at least 3.25, must have completed two semesters of individual study (3 credits each) culminating in a project of superior quality, must be nominated by a member of the department faculty, and must successfully present his/her thesis before the department. Upon departmental approval, supervised individual research conducted at an accredited college or university may be counted as one of the two required semesters. A student who wishes to attempt an honors project must complete the Honors Project Proposal, http://paprika.umw.edu/cpsc/HonorsProjectProposal.rtf
