Hello!
Are you a fantastic undergrad researcher? Or, do you have a peer who is worthy of recognition for their research?
Nominations for the prestigious CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award are due at the end of October, and CSE will be nominating four students. Please email Maggie Ryan (
maggiem@cs.washington.edu) ASAP if you would like to recommend yourself or one of your peers for CSE to consider.
“This award program recognizes undergraduate students in North American colleges and universities who show outstanding potential in an area of computing research.
The award is primarily about research. While it is expected that successful nominees will have excellent academic records and will have engaged in some form of service (e.g., club leadership, teaching, peer tutoring), excellence in research is the primary consideration.” More info here. Feel free to email Maggie with questions.

Just a friendly reminder that capstone registration closes tomorrow. Please submit your requests ASAP if you haven’t already.
We are finally ready to open up the capstone registration for 2017-2018. It will close on September 6th, 2017. While there are exceptions, most students should have completed the majority of their 300 level courses and ideally one 400 before taking a capstone course. The details that we have on each capstone course in the coming year are listed on the capstone experience page.
The link to pre-register is also on that page. Around Sept. 15th we’ll send out capstone assignments. You will be sent add codes if the course is being offered this fall, otherwise, you’ll receive add codes during winter and spring registration.

Please note that CSE 421 recently had to change times due to an unavoidable conflict. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The course will now be taught MWF 430-520PM.

Hello CSE students!
A quick reminder that we need everyone to add Research for Pay and any Internships that you do to your MyCSE account. We have to track these things and it’s a huge help when our 1000+ students add it on their own, thank you in advance!
If you have paid research that you did not add in the past, you can email me Crystal (ceney@cs.uw.edu) the following:
Your name:
Your Student number:

We have decided that we will open a small admission cycle for BSMS students between fall and winter quarter next year. This is in response to some student concerns about the late policy change requiring students to still be enrolled undergraduates at the time they apply to the BSMS program.
We have been asked if students who are not admitted this June can re-apply at the end of fall quarter. While the answer is yes, we will be only admitting a very small number of people and the focus will be students who were affected by the policy change. Please also keep in mind that there may not be enough that has changed in your application during one quarter to make much of a difference in the outcome. Your primary focus should still be on an application this round, and you should meet with us before deciding to reapply at the end of fall.
Thank you for your patience as we work together to improve our policies and procedures.
Sincerely,
Crystal Eney & Jenifer Hiigli

We need to cancel morning dropins this Thursday June 1st. All other times will be the same.
Regular dropins will continue until June 9th. After that we will be on summer schedule which is by appointment. If you have urgent needs, you can try to stop by the front desk to see if an advisor is free, but ideally you would arrange in advance to see someone.
We hope your last week is going well and that you are all off to exciting summer plans. Please make sure to update any summer internships in your MyCSE portal. We’ll see all the graduating students at the CSE event on June 9th!!

Students had asked for a few extra days for the BSMS (5th year masters) application deadline. We were able to adjust it slightly, so the new deadline is now Thursday, June 8th. Please have your application materials submitted by 24:00.

Good Morning! The BS/MS application is now open.
FYI: You may not find a person you want to use as a reference in the drop down menu. If that is the case, it may be that:
- They are a graduate student. In that case, we generally encourage them to work with their faculty adviser to submit on their behalf. Please let us know if this is problematic.
- They may be a guest lecturer. In that case, if we still have contact with them we will try to include them. Contact us with questions.
- They may be affiliate faculty and may not be in our system yet. Let us know and I’ll have it updated.
The application is linked from the BS/MS application page: https://www.cs.washington.edu/prospective_students/bsms/application_information/
Here are the timelines for this application cycle:
May 19 – June 5th: Application Open
June 5th: Application Deadline
Decisions emailed late June
