How to Enrol, C4 Gateway Courses

C4: The Cross-Campus Capstone Classroom is a special initiative at York University. You can read more about it here: C4: The Cross-Campus Capstone Classroom The C4 website says “Since C4 does not yet have its own course number, students must register for credit in a course within their major or outside of it, as an elective, to access the C4 classroom.”

As listed on Gateway Courses and Liaisons, the Lassonde School of Engineering offers several 3.0 credit and 6.0 credit gateway courses.

This site is intended for C4 students who already understand the process and who have been advised to pursue LE/EECS 4080 Computer Science Project, LE/EECS 4088 Computer Science Capstone Course, or LE/EECS 4090 Software Project as a gateway course. All other students should consult with C4 staff for further information and advising.

Below is a modified version of the enrollment process of EECS 4080 3.0 Computer Science Project, tailored for the C4 gateway context.

• You have successfully completed 36 credits in LE/EECS major courses (“Normally restricted to students who have taken 36 credits in computer science.”)
• Your cumulative GPA is 4.50 or better over all major EECS courses (without second digit “5”)
• You have completed LE/EECS 2030 3.00 or LE/EECS 1030 3.00;
