We’ve been SWAMPED during dropins. For those of you who have had to wait a very long time, we are very sorry about that. Please note that we were very lonely the first four weeks of the quarter, so next time, if some of you could visit us before registration starts….., that would be ideal. 🙂 Also, a tip, morning drop-ins are always better than afternoons.
We have added some spaces in full courses over the last day or two. We’ll likely wait another week or so before adding more space to other courses. Please read the registration advice on our advising pages carefully: http://www.cs.washington.edu/
Specifically:
Registering for Full CSE Courses
Please do not contact faculty directly. CSE advisors manage overload requests for 300- and 400-level majors classes (i.e., those open only to CS or CE majors) during the first week of the quarter. Here are actions you can take if desired classes are full:
- Attempt to register for the full course on MyUW. This will not put you on a wait list, but it does tell us how many people attempted to get into a course and were denied admission due to space.
- Continue watching the time schedule for an open space. Also consider other courses you can take and register for them.
- If you cannot enroll before the start of the quarter, plan to attend class. During the first few days of the quarter, the instructor will make a paper sign-in sheet available to students who still need to register. At the end of the first week, instructors will give out add codes if there is room in the course to overload.
- If you have trouble registering due to prerequisites, contact an advisor for assistance.
A few more tips:
If you need manual registration help from an advisor, please make sure to always include the following information and you’ll receive a much faster response.
Student name
Student number
SLN of section and lecture you want to add
If you are concerned about fitting in all your courses, map out a MyPlan , then email your favorite advisor (or ugrad-advisor@cs) and we’ll give you feedback on how to arrange courses. We are definitely available to you all to map out your four year plan, however it is not ideal to come to drop-ins during registration with the intention of planning out your entire 4 years, we often don’t have time to see students for longer than 5-10 min each.
Thanks everyone for your patience, we’ll work very hard to make sure everyone gets what they need.
