A student can apply for the Minor in Computing award provided that the student satisfies the following :

1. having acquired 15 credits of CS courses with an average GPA of 2 or higher; and
2. of the courses taken that constitute the 15 credits in 1 above, the following constraints should be observed :

Note on Mutually Exclusive: A course, such as CS2161 is exclusive with CS2172, meaning that when students choose CS2161, they cannot use CS2172 to fulfill the Minor in Computing requirements.

In addition, the following requirements are applied:

1. Students of the following major programme cannot take the Minor in Computing:
   1. BSc (Hons) Computer Science
   2. BSc (Hons) Computer Studies
   3. BEng (Hons) Computer Engineering
   4. BSc (Hons) Creative Media
   5. BEng (Hons) e-Logistics and Technology Management
   6. BEng (Hons) Information Engineering#
   7. BEng (Hons) Information Engineering (Business Intelligence Minor)#
   8. BEng (Hons) Information Engineering (Law Minor)#

   # Affected: Cohort 2008 and thereafter
   
   

2. A student who intends to take the Minor in Computing should seek approval from his/her parent department and the Department of Computer Science.
3. A maximum of 6 credit units can be used to fulfill both the major and minor programme requirements.

Starting from the 2008 intake, students must take at least 3 credit units from the General Education (GE) courses in fulfilment of the Out-of-Discipline (OOD) requirement and this would be applicable to senior year entrants from 2009/10. However, students taking a Minor to fulfill the OOD requirement would not be required to take an addition of 3 credit units from the GE courses.
