PROJECTED SCHEDULE FOR MSIT DISTANCE COURSES - Effective Fall 2014

This tentative schedule is for planning purposes only and subject to change without notice due to conditions on campus,
student demand or instructor availability. The final class schedule for each semester will be announced in the MSIT distance
registration packet distributed in April, July and November. It can also be found at the HUB Schedule of Classes.
These courses are restricted to Heinz College MSIT students only. Some of these courses are offered by other CMU
departments (i.e. not 95/94-xxx) and we have arranged permission for Heinz MSIT students to enroll in them. Other Heinz and
CMU students are not permitted to register for these courses unless their program director has obtained approval from the Heinz
MSIT Director. CMU-Rwanda students have approval to sign up for 94/95-level classes on a space-available basis.
