Note: 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.
