Things to keep in mind when designing an IS Plan of Study.

• IS605 and IS621 are usually ONLY offered in the Fall semester.
  Likewise, IS610 and IS622 are ONLY offered in the Spring semester.
• IS622 is a pre-requisite of IS623 so you want to arrange your schedule so that you've
  completed both data structures courses before taking IS623.
• Elective options vary in availability from year to year.
