Important information
CUSP is used as a guide for students; however, it is not always able to be kept entirely up to date.
Along with this page, students should use the resources in the School of Computer Science Canvas page ( https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/15961/pages/undergraduate?titleize=0)
This includes academic advising details and a link to FAQ’s specific to the Bachelor of Advanced Computing.
These resources will be particularly helpful for students who began their degree in Semester 2.
