COM SCI 1- I heard I could petition out of Com Sci 1 (freshmen seminar course)?

Com Sci 1 is a required course for CS/CSE students following the
2006-2007 catalog and thereafter.  If not sure, check your catalog here.

NEW incoming transfer students may petition to waive Com Sci 1 by filing
a white HSSEAS petition at 6426 Boelter Hall.  This applies to transfer students who
were admitted beginning Fall 2006 and thereafter. 

Continuing students approved a change of major into CS/CSE or approved
a switch from a previous catalog year into a 2006-2010 catalog may file a petition to waive CS 1.  However, your petition will be reviewed on a case by case basis. 
There is no guarantee your petition to waive CS 1 will be approved.
