Doubts about coursework after branch shifting(ECE to CSE)

Question

Hi all!  
I am from ECE planning to go for ms in CSE in USA for spring 2023.  
I have seen prerequisite courses in university websites inorder to get an admit, and built my profile accordingly with CS related projects and certifications, workshops, internships etc....  
    
But I have a doubt, after getting an admit and landing in university, I've been told that we need to do an extra sem(at starting) to fulfill prerequisites after which our actual course work(Ms in CS) starts for which extra tuition fee is to be paid,  
    
and some are telling that we need to do some extra prerequisite courses parallely with the 1st sem?  
     
please let me know that if these are true?  
    
if yes, does universities aaccepts cs related projects, internships, coursera udemy certifications as substitutr for the prerequisites?  
    
I am confused about course work in first sem after getting into university?  
    
Can any one please give clarification on this exact process   
(what after getting into university from ECE to CSE)?  
thanks in advance! #masters  #ms

Hi Jani
No college accepts to Waive off the Prerequisites unless you have strong paid work experience in the specified Subject to Show for or had taken the same Subject as an elective in undergrad . No Online Certifications are of any Value for the Colleges, So you have to take it
And Regarding the Coursework timeline of Prerequisites, It differs from college to College, Some allow you to take the prereq subjects before the college commences or have to Take it up simultaneously. these Topics are College specific and are not general so check up with your Grad Guidance Counsellor of the College  you got an Admit from.

Yes that's the problem of more prerequisites is more tuition fee, and generally you have to take only 3 subs per semester and you can definitely take 2pre requisite Every semester

Thank you sir....                                                                         
So i will be asked to complete the prerequiste courses along with my masters course work parallely or im only allowed to start my actual course work after completing my prerequisite course..                                                                                        If the later is the case, will i be studying an extra semester for these courses( as we can only complete upto 4-5 subjects a semester and some universities have around 4-5 prerequisite courses )??                                                                              
And will i be asked to pay extra tuition fee for these courses(excluding my masters tuition fee)??                                                 And if i get admitted to a spring intake(say 2023), because of the extra semester, will i be passed out with the fall batch (2023)?                                                                                               Can you please help me with these queries?
