To see the Computer Science courses that provide both undergraduate and graduate course credit, log into CampusNet, go to Class Search, choose a semester, and search for CS undergraduate courses that have the pink circle with the letter C inside signifying ‘combined.'

For example:

When you click on the pink circled C, you will see the current enrollment for the graduate portion of the course.

You WILL need special permission to enroll in the graduate course as an Accelerated Master's Program student. Ask your academic advisor to submit this special permission to enroll in the combined CS graduate course.
