Timelines for their degree completion students may

timelines for their degree completion.
Students may choose to study on a full time or part-time basis to earn their diploma. This will
occasionally be dictated by course offering and demands of the student's primary degree
requirements.
The diploma program is structured in such a way that a student would be able to count courses
completed as part of their graduate degree towards the requirements for the diploma program.
Depending on the student's home faculty and graduate degree being sought there will be a
different number of courses required above and beyond their degree requirements. Below is a
table of the potential number of additional courses required for diploma completion. The
information below is based on the current program requirements.
For example, a student in the diploma program could take CS 658 and CS 768. Based on the
calendar entry for MMath in Computer Science (link below) the student would satisfy two CS
courses from the table of CS approved courses (CS 658 and CS 768). The student would still
have to fulfill the CS 800 level course requirement and 1 other from the CS approved list (above
the 600 level) along with the milestone and BE 600 and BE 606 requirements for the diploma.
