Hey folks,
First, a big welcome back to our current students and a congratulations to all our newly admitted students. We look forward to working with all of you this year (but ideally not all at the same time). So here are a few notes to remember this fall:
We need mentors! If you have been in the department for at least one quarter, please sign up to be a mentor. The welcome night is THIS THURSDAY 4-530pm (yes, food included). I know this conflicts with some courses and TA’ing, sorry about that, we didn’t have a lot of options. Please sign up via the catalyst survey by 10am on Thurs. Mentors will meet in room 305 of the Allen center around 4.
Overloading: If you are still trying to get into a CSE course, plan to attend the first day and put your name on the overload list. We’ll try to make decisions by Monday.
Dropin advising: We have four advisors, plus a new half time advisor this year (Tina Donahue) who will be helping you folks out, but we also have over 650 current students and hundreds of prospective students, so we’ll need your patience. If you have immediate registration issues, feel free to come to dropins this week, if you want to look at your four year plan… let’s wait until you fill out a MyPlan and then come see us after a couple of weeks have passed…
Email: We get a lot of email, but here is a tip, if you need a section change or something registration related and you give us ALL the info you think we might need (student number, sln’s etc) so we don’t have to look things up, there is a higher chance we’ll answer your email sooner rather than later.
Hope you all had a relaxing summer and are ready to dive into a fun new year. We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
CSE Advising: Crystal, Raven, Elise, Jen, and Tina
