This is just a brief reminder to everyone about a few notes from advising:
- Starting this week the UW will charge you $20/day that you make changes to your record. So if you are switching sections, dropping a course, or adding research, try to do it all in one day.
Second, everyone should take note that just about every 400 level course that was packed full has anywhere from 5-15 spaces in it. We really can’t solve this problem for any of you, but the longer you hold onto courses, the more you stress out your comrades. Everything was super full the last week of Dec. Next time registration comes around and you’re worried that courses are full, keep this in mind. I wish there was a good solution for this, but we don’t have one. If you have suggestions, feel free to email ugrad-advisor@cs
We did have a few issues getting everyone into 332, 312 and 344, but at least in those cases, students have a lot more flexibility in their coursework. We are trying to increase all class sizes to continue to make this process easier moving forward. Since we have grown every year, it’s a bit of a moving target.
- If you haven’t filed for graduation yet, you need to do that. If you are graduating in Winter, you have until the 3rd Friday of this quarter, if you are graduating spring or summer, you should still try to file sometime this quarter, but it doesn’t matter so much when you do it.
- If you want to sign up for research, there is an online form linked from the research pages. Please be very careful which “type” of research you sign up for. There is a max of 9 credits of honors 498B, and 6 total credits for 498A. A max of 9 total credits of any combination of 498 graded research. See the research pages for more information.
