Hello everyone . I am a coming first year computing science for fall 2026. This is my first semester course schedule.
CMPT 125 Introduction to Computing science and Programming II
MATH 232 Applied Linear Algebra
MACM 101 Discrete Mathematics I
FAL X99 Foundation of Academic Literacy
How is this schedule.? Is it fine or it's too much pressure. I really appreciate all the answers.
Hello everyone. I am a incoming first year computing science student. I want to ask a question regarding CMPT 120, CMPT 125 and CMPT 130. I have transfer credit for CMPT 130 right now, so can I skip CMPT 120 and take CMPT 125 directly because in the CMPT 120 course description, they stated Students with credit for CMPT 102, 128, 130 or 166 may not take this course for further credit. Students who have taken CMPT 125, 129, 130 or 135 first may not then take this course for further credit.
Thank you very much for the answer

Hello everyone. I am a coming first year Computing Science student for fall. I have been awarded general transfer credits in specific subject areas because I have taken them in a university before. But I have to submit transfer credit appeal form to confirm that those subject are equivalent to the SFU subject. I have a question regarding the transfer credit appeal form. In the transfer credit appeal form, there are section called Credit received and Requested credit. May I please know what do they mean because I am not very sure about that. Does the Credit Received mean the amount of credit I received from previous University I attended for that specific course like a number(1,2,3,4). Does the Requested Credit mean the equivalent course in the SFU for the specific course I took in previous University. I include photo for your reference. Please help me If you guys have done the same thing. Thank you very much 🙏
