- 21 of those credits must be at the 6000 level or above. (For TSE, 24 credits must be at 6000 level or above.)
- 9 credits can be undergrad courses, but must be 4000 level only. They must be approved courses. (For TSE, 6 credits can count towards your degree)

DegreeWorks is a very helpful resource. Log in and you can see all the courses you’ve taken and how they are being applied. The DegreeWorks system applies certain courses automatically but most courses will need to be applied manually by the Academic Program Coordinator. Most courses will not be applied until you are closer to graduate but feel free to email us to allocate your courses.
