This page gives basic information for CS courses - when offered, normal content, sequencing, etc.  You should also see the information at [[CS Programs]].
=Sycamore Community Health Initiative=
The university [https://www.indstate.edu/covid/sycamore-community-health-initiative has decided] that as of Jan 1, 2022, all students and employees on campus will need to either upload proof of covid-19 vaccination or regular negative tests (likely weekly or bi-weekly).  All indications are that this will indeed be enforced.  The strong preference is that people be vaccinated (just like students have always been required to show proof of a number of other vaccines, including [https://www.indstate.edu/registrar/state-immunization-requirements MMR, Td, Tb, Meningitus]).  


== CS Courses ==
You can be vaccinated '''on campus (as of November, every Tuesday and Thursday 1-4:30pm at the [https://www.indstate.edu/health-center ISU Health Center])''' or '''in the community (you can search for sites [https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/24159814f1dd4f69b6c22e7e87bca65b through the state], or schedule directly with any local pharmacy)'''.  Note that it takes 6-7 weeks from your first shot to be considered fully vaccinated (two weeks after your second dose you are considered fully vaccinated, and the second does is 3-4 weeks after the first).
The table below lists all currently offered CS courses, when they are normally offered, which programming languages are normally used, and links to the most recent syllabus for each faculty member who has recently taught the course.


A spreadsheet shows the normal sequencing of courses for the BS and MS degrees, and which terms the courses are normally offered in -  '''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mBt7E5r35rLXG5Ith0SjUMHiHmUtxH58v_ZOvt3bjvA/edit?usp=sharing course sequencing spreadsheet]'''.
'''Once you are fully vaccinated, please upload your vaccine card in the ISU portal (look for the Covid-19 Vaccination Record app in the portal).'''


The '''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HaBcwwGlB3Q-wxkatvCcPji-A1c-z_xS/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108017066281013724050&rtpof=true&sd=true CS courses spreadsheet]''' has an indication given whether each course is normally offered in the fall, spring, summer, or some combination. If there are no "Y" for a course, it is offered as needed. For courses listed as "even" or "odd", the course is offered only in even (or odd) numbered years. Most CS courses are offered via distance. By default, each CS course is offered in a face to face section and a simultaneous online synchronous section (over Zoom).   A few 400 level undergraduate courses have lab sections that are taken with the course (401, 456, 457, 458); the 500 level courses do /not/ have lab sections that are taken (so undergraduates take CS 401 and 401L, while graduates would take just CS 501).

Sycamore Community Health Initiative

The university has decided that as of Jan 1, 2022, all students and employees on campus will need to either upload proof of covid-19 vaccination or regular negative tests (likely weekly or bi-weekly). All indications are that this will indeed be enforced. The strong preference is that people be vaccinated (just like students have always been required to show proof of a number of other vaccines, including MMR, Td, Tb, Meningitus).

You can be vaccinated on campus (as of November, every Tuesday and Thursday 1-4:30pm at the ISU Health Center) or in the community (you can search for sites through the state, or schedule directly with any local pharmacy). Note that it takes 6-7 weeks from your first shot to be considered fully vaccinated (two weeks after your second dose you are considered fully vaccinated, and the second does is 3-4 weeks after the first).

Once you are fully vaccinated, please upload your vaccine card in the ISU portal (look for the Covid-19 Vaccination Record app in the portal).
