11. Computer Science, Where to Start? • If you have not taken a CS Programming class in C++ or Java, you should begin with CS 1336 plus the CS 1136 lab. • If you have AP, IB, CLEP credit, or have taken CS classes at a Community College, the test doesn’t apply to you. • For all others, a self-assessment test is available for you to determine which Computer Science Programming class to take first.

12. Computer Science Placement Test • You can take the placement test tomorrow. Just come with everyone else to register for your courses. • You can also take or retake the test online: go towww.ecs.utdallas.edu/ougaand click on thebutton labeled “Freshman Placement Test”

13. CS 1336, CS 1337, CS 2336 • If you have credit for CS 1337 in C/C++, take CS 2336 in Java this semester. • For all other questions, talk to an advisor tomorrow. • CS 1337 and CS 2336 will be taught in Java.

14. Waiting for AP scores? • If you are awaiting your AP test results in CS and/or Math, we cannot register you for classes in those areas until we know your scores. • Talk to an advisor tomorrow and arrange to FAX us your scores, together with a list of the courses (course numbers and scheduled meeting times) that you need to add at that time.
