Department of Computational Arts

Undergraduate students can request enrolment into a course that requires departmental permission by completing the MachForm at ampd.yorku.ca/permission. This form may be used up until the last date to add a course without permission. To find the dates for the current academic term, refer to registrar.yorku.ca/enrol/dates under Add/Drop Deadlines.

After such time, students need permission of the instructor to add a course. AMPD Departments handle these permissions differently and it is best to ask the Department for advice or to get copies of the required paperwork (if by voicemail or email, always include your full name, student number, the course code and instructors name).

Students will choose a stream in their second year using the Program Change Request online form.

This cannot be done in first year. Choose one of Digital Media Arts, Digital Media Development or Digital Media Game Arts. For basic information about the streams visit: computationalarts.ampd.yorku.ca/apply.

For in depth information about the streams visit the Academic Calendar and follow the steps below:

• • Select Undergraduate, then search Digital Media, (open the School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design version)
  • Click the Degree Requirements button
  • Select the Program Specific Degree Requirements section

Six credits from the AMPD 1900 3.00 series of courses, outside the major, are required of all School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design degrees. These courses may be used toward satisfying the humanities general education requirement, the in/out requirements or an AMPD elective. For students admitted to the School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design with a minimum of 54 transfer credits, the six credits from the 1900 3.00 series of courses outside the major are optional. Only courses with FA/_ _ _ _ 1900 in the course code fulfill this requirement. You can find them in the York University Courses website by searching School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design, the Department and 1900 under 'Faculty, Subject and Number.' Some 1900 courses such as Dance have online lectures so when you add them to your schedule there won't be a scheduled time for class but there may still be a scheduled tutorial.

If you are currently enrolled and registered as an undergraduate student and wish to request a transfer to a different academic program/degree, please review the information at the Program Change page. Submit your program change request via this link.

A number of AMPD programs require an audition/interview/portfolio review before you can be admitted. When you submit your program change request, you should also contact the Department office.
