Q: Can I place out of CPSC 201 and directly take CPSC 223?
A: The instructors for CPSC C223 offer a placement exam in the fall for those students who wish to place out of CPSC 201. If the instructor agrees that you can skip CPSC 201 please ask them to confirm that to the DUS and the registrar via email. You will have to take an additional elective to substitute for CPSC201 and fill out the exemption form (https://yalesurvey.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8qSLeKx5WZ9fVTD) to indicate which additional elective will substitute for CPSC 201.
