Yes. All students in the 2026 cohort must take CSC207 together in the Fall 2026 semester. It's important that all students in the cohort go through the same classes and projects together in order to build a strong culture and ensure students in the Focus get to know each other well. This also means that students who have already completed CSC207 before the start of the term will not be eligible.

We hold three FTL events over the academic year on Thursdays from 4 – 7pm.

Work placements are highly recommended but not required.

The schedule for the special section of CSC207H1F should come out soon on ACORN and on the online timetable. In the meantime, our advice to every student who applied to the FTL is to also enroll in a regular section of CSC207- this guarantees your access to this important course no matter what happens with the schedule, or with your application to the FTL.
