First week notes: Overloading classes, dropin advising, email, tutoring, and more!

Okay, last email today, promise…

 

Hey folks, welcome back to UW! A few notes for your first week:

Overloading: If you are still trying to get into a CSE course, plan to attend the first day and add your name to the online overload list AFTER you attend class.   No need to come to dropins, just fill out the online survey posted in class.

Dropin advising: It’s going to be very busy this week.  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…

Graduation Apps: We will email next week about graduation appointments. Everyone planning to graduate this quarter or winter or spring, will need to come see an advisor.  We’ll have online appointments to sign up for when it’s time to complete this process. The first week isn’t a good time for that meeting, we might miss something, and that would make you sad.

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.  Please try to give us at least 48 hours to return your email before pinging us again. Sending an email every hour or two doesn’t increase your chances of getting spot in the coveted class…

Tutoring: We do have some limited tutoring available, sign up online if you are interested. These are small groups of 1-4 are led by a graduate student tutor.  http://www.cs.washington.edu/students/ugrad/tutoring

Welcome Night: We did have enough mentors sign up, so if you signed up, please plan to join us tomorrow  night. You should have received an email with your mentee information.  Thank you everyone, our students are awesome!

Hope you all had a relaxing summer break and are ready to dive into a fun quarter. We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

CSE Advising: Crystal, Raven, Jen, and Maggie (Maggie is new! please join us in welcoming her to CSE advising)
