Not strictly required. The things that MUST be done: GPA and honors thesis.

Dear Professor Levin,

I hope that this email finds you well. I am a senior CS student in the departmental honors program. I have taken CMSC396H, and I am currently in the process of writing my Honors Thesis.

I am currently planning my courses for next semester, and I was wondering if the graduate course requirement is still required for graduating with honors? I recall that a previous year of students were able to get this course requirement waived to graduate with honors, and I wanted to check in on whether that was still the case.

If not, how would I go about getting the prerequisites waived for a graduate course in case I need to register?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,
