Academic resources

Computing and Financial Management (CFM) is a structured program that challenges you to make connections between computer science, finance and professional work (or co-op). To be successful with this structure, you need to manage many different priorities and balance your studies.

To help you be successful, we offer a number of different academic resources to support in your studies from first year to graduation.

Student support

  • Academic advising - Get answers to all of your questions related to CFM with academic advising. Find out common advising questions and learn when to meet for office hours.

  • Degree requirements and sequence of courses - Understand what you need to graduate by reviewing your academic requirements and plan out your classes using our sequence of courses and common electives.

  • Academic progression and policies - Find out what you need to achieve each term to successfully progress through CFM and reach through our academic policies to make sure that you're satisfying your academic calendar requirements.

  • Tutorial centres and peer support - Bring your work and questions to one of our many tutorial centres and get the help you need with math, computer science, accounting and/or finance courses.
