Please read the information below carefully. These minor schedule changes effect all First, Second and Third year Engineering Science students starting in Fall 2004. These changes do not appear in the 2004/2005 Calendar or on the Registrar's website so please do not refer to these documents when planning your schedule. The schedule has been changed to accommodate the movement of ENSC 250 and ENSC 350 in the program. In addition to the changes noted in red you should also be aware of the new double course offerings starting in 2004. If you have any concerns or questions please contact your academic advisor:
