COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Website: www.ufv.ca/cis

Information technology continues to change at a rapid pace, and the impact of both the technology and the rate of change on the business world is significant. Businesses and organizations require educated personnel not only to use, but also to design, implement, maintain, support, and manage their systems and people.
    Computer Information Systems differs from Computing Science in that there tends to be an increased focus on using technology effectively to support and add value to organizations. This requires breadth and business knowledge as well as both theory and hands-on practice.
    Our programs are designed to provide a mixture of theory and hands-on applied knowledge in our modern well-equipped labs. The Computer Information Systems programs offered at UCFV provide depth in both software development and systems and networking areas.
    Graduates from certificate programs are knowledgeable and experienced with smaller single-user systems, and graduates from diploma programs are capable of working with both single and networked systems. Diploma graduates are also capable of supporting and maintaining systems through the regular and changing requirements placed by ongoing business demands.
    The degree program builds on this base to provide graduates with additional technical knowledge and skills as well as more educational breadth and a better business background. This will also prepare graduates to move into managerial positions in information technology.
    Effective information systems must be supportive of the strategy, goals, and objectives of the organization they serve, and therefore it is critical that IT professionals not only have the technical skills to handle these systems, but that they also have the organizational and managerial backgrounds necessary to understand the business functions and role of their systems. In addition to a sound computing background and ability to speak the language of business, graduates need to possess good communications, personal management, and teamwork skills.
UCFV offers the following programs to prepare students for careers in a business computing environment:
• Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree
A four-year program. A Co-operative Education option is available that ladders on the diploma co-op option.

• Computer Information Systems diploma
The diploma program may be completed in two years without the co-op designation and work terms.
A Co-operative Education option is available that can ladder on to the degree.

• Computer Information Systems certificate
A one-year certificate program. A customizable one-year certificate program, combining a mixture of CIS, Business, and other courses, that may ladder into the diploma. Students expecting to complete the diploma should apply to the diploma program rather than the certificate program.

• Minor in Computer Information Systems
A minor in computer information systems is a valuable addition to a degree in any other area, and greatly increases career opportunities in most areas. Interested students should consult with their program advisor and the CIS department.

• Extended Minor In Computer Information Systems
An extended minor in computer information systems provides more breadth and can be used as a larger minor with a major, or in combination with a second extended minor in an Arts degree. The extended minor is also recommended for students interested in obtaining a computer information systems minor for teaching purposes. Interested students should consult with their program advisor and the CIS department

• Minor in Computing Science (see this section)
The minor in computing science is designed for science students and others desiring a minor more focused on the theoretical and mathematical aspects of computing. Interested students should consult with their program advisor and the CIS department.

• Continuing Studies in Computing
Non-credit continuing studies courses in a wide range of computing areas are offered over the year. Current and planned offerings are described at www.ufv.ca/cs/courses/computer.htm.
    Customized workshops, employee in-service training and upgrading can be provided at a reasonable cost. For further information, call 604-854-4589 (Abbotsford and Mission) or 604-792-0025 local 4589 (Chilliwack).

Career opportunities
Rapid change and the increased use of outsourcing have made the IT workplace a very volatile one over the last few years. The CIS department meets twice a year with an external advisory committee to track and predict change, and to keep our programs relevant to current and future organizational needs. Our diverse committee is peopled by members of industry and the public sector whose knowledge and experience is pertinent, timely and crucial to our decision-making processes.
Careers for information technology professionals fall into several categories, including but not limited to:
• Software development
• Systems analysis and design
• User interface design and human factors
• Web and database design and programming
• Project management
• Computer security
• Network design and administration
• System and database administration
• End user support
• Management of technology
Our programs and courses provide the choices for students to design their degree for entry into any of these areas.

Graduate Studies
Students completing the BCIS degree program who wish to pursue graduate studies would normally choose a master’s degree in Computer Information Systems or an MBA program. Students wishing to enter an MBA program should consider taking the BCIS with a minor in Business Administration.
Students wishing to enter a graduate studies program in Computing Science should consider taking the BCIS with a minor in Mathematics.

Computer Information Systems,
Co-operative Education option
The Co-operative Education option offers students in the Computer Information Systems diploma and degree programs the opportunity to obtain paid, career-related work experience in their field of study during their education at UCFV. After completing their first year of study, Co-op students alternate between semesters of full-time study and full-time paid employment.

A typical study and work schedule is:

* These study and work term sequences will vary for students entering into a UCFV Co-op option at the third-year level. See the Co-operative Education section of the calendar for further details.

Students wishing to enter the Co-op diploma program should apply through the Career Centre in the fall by September 30. Students are expected to follow the schedule of work/study as established for the program, be taking all of the semester courses as described in the calendar, and have credit for all previous courses in the program maintaining a grade point average of at least 2.33 (C+). Refer to the Co-operative Education section of the calendar. Students in certificate programs who wish to consider the co-op diploma option should contact the CIS program head prior to registering for their second academic term.

Entrance requirements for all programs
Students who do not meet program entrance requirements or who lack recent B.C. secondary school graduation or equivalent, are encouraged to consult with the department head at 604-854-4556 or the departmental assistant at 604-854-4589 to discuss their likelihood of success.

How to apply
1. Submit the application fee along with your UCFV application for admission form to the Admissions and Records (A&R) office. Application forms are available from any A&R or Student Services office. You can also print an application form from our website at www.ufv.ca/ar, or you can apply directly through the internet at www.pas.bc.ca. See the Admissions Guide for a complete list of application dates and general information.
Additional documents required for a complete application to certificate/diploma:
    • proof of B.C. secondary school graduation or equivalent, or permission from the program head
    • transcript (or interim transcript) showing grade/course achievement as per entrance requirements.

Additional documents required for a complete application to degree:
    • an official transcript (original sealed envelope) from every post-secondary institution you have attended.          Unofficial copies may accompany the application form if official transcripts have been ordered.

2. You will be informed of the orientation meeting date. This meeting is usually held on a weekday evening in April or May. You must attend or make special arrangements with the department.

3. Upon admission to the program you will be provided with registration information. A deposit is required when you register (see the Fees and Other Costs section). This money will be applied to the tuition fees and is not refundable. Final payment of all course fees is due the end of the second week of classes.
If the program is full, or you are waiting to find out about admission to the program, you will be given an opportunity to register as a general student. It is not necessary to submit a separate application form. If you meet the entrance requirements and a space becomes available later, you will be contacted.

4. In some cases where interim transcripts are submitted, an admission decision may be made conditional upon completion of academic requirements. Proof of completion of entrance requirements is due by the end of the first week in August.

Fees and additional costs
Fees stated are in effect for 2004/05 and are subject to change for 2005/06.
    The fees for a full-time certificate, diploma, or degree student (five courses or 15–20 credits) would be approximately $1,900–$2,500 per semester. Books and additional supplies would normally cost $75 to $150 per course. There may be some additional recommended and mandatory costs in Computer Information Systems program courses, above tuition and textbook costs. These may include training manuals, software, and hardware costs. These expenses will vary from year to year. Students should budget between $500–$1,000 for such costs over the four years of a degree program. See Fees and Other Costs for other student costs. Credits and fees also apply to the co-op work terms.

Location
All courses are offered in Abbotsford and many first-year Business Administration and Computer Information Systems courses are offered in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Mission. Some courses will be offered in the evening for people working full-time who wish to take courses on a part-time basis.

Length of programs
The full degree program can be completed in four years of full-time study; however, formal entry to the degree is at the third-year level after students have completed two years through the diploma program. Due to the demand for courses, students cannot be guaranteed entry to any CIS course. The fact that they may have to be wait-listed for some courses may add to the length of time it takes to complete a program.
    The full diploma program takes two years (four semesters) of full-time study. This is the minimum length of time required for students who enter the program with no previous computing experience and who expect to have a solid grounding in the subject. The co-op diploma is 28 months and includes four academic semesters and three work terms.
    The certificate program requires two full semesters and can be completed in one year or less.

Need to apply for re-admission
Students in any CIS program (certificate, diploma, or degree) who fall into any of the following categories must apply for re-admission.
1. Absence from a CIS program for more than three consecutive semesters (including fall, winter, and spring). A student who withdraws from all courses in a semester will be considered not to have registered in that semester.

2. Withdrawal from the first semester of attendance before completing any course work, or failure to register.

3. Official completion of a CIS program or a change to another program.

CIS course challenge policy
Course challenge is intended to grant credit for knowledge gained outside of UCFV that is not transferable under existing arrangements. A list of undergraduate courses approved for course challenge is available at the Admissions and Records office. Course challenge should be applied for at the time of entry to the CIS program.
To apply you must formally submit a typed letter to the CIS department head for all course challenges, preferably at the time you enter the CIS program. You are expected to explain which course(s) you wish to challenge, and be able to support your request by describing your prior knowledge and experience in the course material, including documentation such as certification, resumes, etc.
    Applications for course challenge will then be considered by the CIS department, and if approved, the course challenge will be arranged in the beginning of the next semester in which the challenged course is offered. If you are unsuccessful in the course challenge, you will have to re-enroll for the regular course at your own expense. Please see the CIS department for more detailed information.

Computer Information Systems certificate
This program is designed to meet the needs of small companies who require employees with some computer experience.

Academic performance for the certificate program
Students in the CIS certificate program must maintain semester and cumulative grade point averages of at least 2.0 (a C average) in order to be awarded the certificate.
    Students who do not maintain the required cumulative grade point average will be placed on Academic Warning for one semester. If they do not attain the required CGPA, they will be required to withdraw from the program. Students who have been required to withdraw are not normally readmitted to the program.

Course repetition
Students may not register for a course more than twice. No more than five course duplications will be permitted in work used towards any CIS program. When a course has been repeated, only the higher grade is counted in the GPA calculation.

Program outline
Students who want a certificate as a basic exit credential can choose any 30 credits from the CIS offerings, including degree program non-CIS courses, at least one half of which must be CIS or COMP courses. Those who may want to ladder this credential into the diploma are advised to take the courses listed for the first year of the diploma. Students entering the certificate program without any computer literacy skills will need to take CIS 100 or COMP 100 in addition to the 30 credits.

Computer Information Systems diploma
This program combines studies from the computing, business, and communications fields, so students will acquire enough skills to obtain a first job and also a broad base from which to expand their training. The four-semester program provides theoretical groundwork and specific skill development courses, with major emphasis on practical, hands-on work.

Academic performance for the diploma program
Students in the CIS diploma program must maintain semester and cumulative grade point averages of at least 2.0 (a C average) in order to be awarded the diploma.
    Students who do not maintain the required cumulative grade point average will be placed on Academic Warning for one semester. If they do not attain the required CGPA, they will be required to withdraw from the program. Students who have been required to withdraw are not normally readmitted to the program.

Course repetition
