CSC 206 Temporarily “Locked” for Fall registration
The Cybersecurity Scripting course, CSC 206, is currently locked for Fall 2016 registration due to a mistake in the catalog related to the pre-requisites listed for this course.

If you have questions about the course itself, please contact Prof. Ronny Bull (rlbull@utica.edu)
