Department Consent Classes

Certain classes in the CS department are designated as "high demand" or "department consent," which means there are different instructions on how to register. Information on special enrollment for these classes can be found on this page.

Registration for this class cannot happen until TA hiring decisions are made. Thank you in advance for your patience. If you are interested in taking the course, you can email Megan Monroe (mmonroe@cs.tufts.edu), but be aware that no student will have permission to register for the class when registration begins.

Special enrollment: CS 117, Internet-Scale Distributed Systems
