i) Admissions determines the total transfer credits a student is eligible to receive from another university or college at the point of admission to York University. Not all transfer credits received may be applied to fulfill the requirements for the ITEC program.
ii) For current York students transferring into AP/ITEC: The list of transfer credits received from Admissions might not include all the ITEC courses you should get credit for. Therefore it is always a good practice to meet with the School of IT Director or Undergraduate Program Director as soon as you have been admitted to the ITEC program. This meeting is needed to assess possible exemptions from ITEC courses.
These courses may be taken in either order, or even concurrently.
Yes. MATH 1190 3.00 must be completed before MATH 2565 3.00.
Yes. This course is designed to be a first-year computer programming course.
You may take any course that is not ITEC or is specified as a major course. You may not take General Education courses to fulfill this requirement.
Yes. You may replace:
- ITEC 1620 3.00 with COSC/CSE 1020 3.00,
- ITEC 2620 3.00 with COSC/CSE 1030 3.00,
- ITEC 3220 3.00 with COSC/CSE 3421 3.00,
- ITEC 3230 3.00 with COSC/CSE 3461 3.00,
- ITEC 1000 3.00 with a COSC/CSE course which has not been used towards another requirement. If there are no such COSC/CSE courses, you are allowed to replace ITEC1000 with another ITEC course outside the major.
Yes. You may replace:
- MATH 2565 3.00 with MATH 2560 3.00, or MATH 2570 3.00 or MATH 1131 3.00.

York launched a new Master of Arts in Information Systems & Technology (MAIST) program that addresses advanced topics in IT through a dual focus approach. This approach aims to combine the application of research-based knowledge with the real world challenges experienced by working professionals in the Information Technology (IT) field. Offered in both part-time and full-time formats, the program fits the needs of IT academics and professionals alike.
A course credit exclusion means that course you want to take has significant overlap with the course you have already taken therefore you may not take both courses for degree credit. You may receive credit for only one course. Should you decide to take the course, it will be considered a repeated course. The second time you take a course (passed or failed) becomes the grade of record. The first time taken course will be excluded for credit and average and will receive a transcript notation NCR (no credit retained).
