If you are in CS Minor, you are still eligible to apply, however you might be working on a non-credit project. Every students admitted to our program will have the same access to resources and mentors.

A: We recommend that students at UTSG/UTSC campus to check with their academic advisor to ensure that they can have CSC392/492H5 from UTM to count towards their degree requirements before applying. If you are not able to have credits, we will admit those students based on (1) whether they are in a group, and (2) whether we have capacity to admit them.
