Hey everyone!
A lot of students are concerned about full courses. Please note we’ll help everyone out, but with over 900 of you, we need some active cooperation. Here’s what you can do to help (bold parts are most important):
- Read through our full classes information online
- 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:
- Register for the UW Notify program so you’ll be alerted to space opening in the course. This also helps the department understand where current demand is falling.
- 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 tell you how to fill out the online overload form for students who still need to register. At the end of the first week, advisors will give out add codes if there is room in the course to overload.
- If you have trouble registering due to prerequisites, or need to switch sections only, contact an advisor for assistance.
- When emailing advisors about anything registration related, always include your full name, student number and slns of courses you need adjusted. However we fill not be overfilling any courses until the first week.
- 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:
- New students wanting 312. You won’t all be able to take 312 this winter. 332 has plenty of room for new students but 312 will not be able to accommodate everyone, so plan for either 351, 331, 341 or 344.
3. If you come in to advising or call or email asking to overload, we’re going to refer you back to this page. Please know that everything generally works out, so if you are stressed, contact us for sure, but if you can be patient, and register for your backup classes, you’ll be in good shape.
4. If you are one of those indecisive folks who register for 5 CSE classes because you can’t make up your mind, please know that this really throws off our process, so the faster you can make up your mind, the better.
Thank you for your patience everyone, we’ll get through this together.
