UTC CSE JUMP program

 

 

XYZ is a current Computer Science Data Science major in her last few semesters. She is thinking about going into grad school after completing her degree and would like to take advantage of the JUMP program. However, I am getting familiar with the approved courses. 

 

What courses are part of the Jump program at UTC?

There are three courses that have been approved to be part of the JUMP program. Students admitted to JUMP could take one, two, or all three of the following:

CPSC 5100 (in place of CPSC 4100)

CPSC 5590 (in place of CPSC 4550)

CPSC 5700 (in place of CPEN 4700)

Students in the Data Science concentration already take 4100 and 4700, so those would have direct substitutions as outlined above. For students (such as Data Science) not required to take CPSC 4550, if they were to take CPSC 5590 they could count it as an upper-level elective, just as if they had chosen 4550 as an elective.

The incoming freshmen have been pre-registered in May by Laura Bass for a Fall schedule. There are several versions of a fall schedule which is based on the student’s ACT scores for their Math placement. 

The ideal schedule:

MATH 1950 – 4 hours

CPSC 1100 – 4 hours 

ENGL 1010 – 3 hours 

General Education – 3-6 Hours 

The above combination may vary for students who do not have an ACT score of 28 (and/or AP credits, joint enrolled HS credits, etc. for math courses that allow them to start in MATH 1950/Calc. I).

Students who may have an ACT score below 19 will have all Gen Ed courses scheduled for now but are being encouraged to either take the Math Dept’s Step Ahead Summer program in August for an opportunity to exit developmental Math or retake the MATH ACT residual for a higher score. If they do not exit developmental Math before classes start they will be required to take developmental Math in Fall at Chatt State or they will be very behind.

Spelman summer course policy

From Ms Foster
Spelman accepts summer classes from any regionally accredited college or university, as long as they have been pre-approved by the chair of each department from which you would like to take a class, and your advisor. Summer school applications will be available in the Registrar's Office and online at the beginning of February.

advising for spring 2016

For 42 students with course plans, I spent 8 hours, plus 4 hours in-person office hours.
Monday 4 hours
Tuesday 4 hours

For irregular students, changed majors, or seniors, it took much less time.

8pm - 11pm. spent 3 hours for about 31 students.

Spelman advising, credit issue

For 4-credit spelman course, it is often replaced by 3 credits course from other schools. How does it affect student credits calculation for graduation?
