Cyber Security Minor rejected because I already completed COMP2310
Hi everyone,
I’m a 3rd-year Software Engineering student. I recently applied to add the Cyber Security Minor, based on the 2026 minor specifications. Based on the 2026 minor requirements for Cyber Security, I’m doing the Cryptography unit as part of my plan and already done Comp2310 Digital Forensic.
My application was rejected because I had already completed COMP2310 as part of my Flexible Zone. Service Connect said:
“COMP2310 in your Flexible Zone (and this unit cannot be allocated to the 2024 Cyber Security Minor)”
They also said that because COMP2310 has already been used in my study plan, there isn't enough space to add additional units for the minor.
The confusing part is that I applied based on the 2026 Cyber Security Minor specifications, not the 2024 version.
So I’m wondering:
Has anyone successfully added the Cyber Security Minor under the 2026 requirements after already completing COMP2310?
Does anyone know whether COMP2310 can count toward the 2026 Cyber Security Minor?
As I still have Flexible Zone units remaining, is there any way to use those remaining units to complete the Cyber Security Minor?
Has anyone been in a similar situation where they had already completed a unit that was required for a minor?
Thanks!
