program in Java should plan to learn it, by studying on their own or by taking a Java programming
course, prior to taking courses that assume knowledge of Java. ICS 80: Java for C++ programmers is
typically offered during the second summer session in order to meet the needs of incoming transfer
students. Transfer students should also be aware that if they cannot obtain a Java course prior to
their first quarter at UC Irvine, they may be required to complete a Java related course during
their first quarter at UC Irvine.
