Why it's read this way: Two pathways split at "OR be enrolled in"; "Master of Machine and Computer Learning" is read as MMLCV. The GPA of 70 per cent and the permission code are caveats.

The handbook also asks for something this site can't check (a permission code, a GPA, group membership or "equivalent" study). Read the original below.

Incompatible with COMP8715: you can't count both.
