Have you tried registering for courses using “Look up classes” under the Registration tab in My Page but were unsuccessful? Unfortunately this tool shows all the sections in a course, not just the ones you are allowed to register for. If you see an error message about there being faculty restrictions on a course you want, this is likely the reason why. To find out which sections you are allowed to register for, use the UVic Timetable. You can also speak with the BSEng advisor.

The Software Engineering Program publishes a list of courses that can be taken as technical electives. If you would like to take a technical elective that is not on this list, please speak with the BSEng advisor first.

Certain technical electives have been organized into specializations, which are specific areas that reflect strong or emerging industry interest

Your CAPP report shows how your completed, in-progress and registered courses will be applied towards your program requirements, as well as the general university requirements.

If you take special topics courses as electives and these show as unapproved, speak with the BSEng advisor.
