Good news! The fall instructors are now listed on the tentative teaching schedule. Please note that changes are possible. So, if you are hoarding CSE courses, now is the time to let some of those classes go. Be kind to your peers!
If a course you would like to take is full, please sign up for notifications. This helps us track demand for full courses. If you cannot enroll before the start of the quarter, attend the first day of class.

Hello, CSE majors! If you’re interested in helping students and working with the CSE Advising team, consider applying to be a 2017-18 Peer Adviser: Full position description here.
In brief: The CSE Peer Advisers work 5-10 hours per week during the quarter. They counsel individual students, present information, and help with occasional events; meet with high school students (and families), current UW pre-major students, and CSE majors; and discuss academic planning, what computer science/engineering is, CSE admissions, how to prep for industry, and how to connect with opportunities. Our Peer Advisers bring the incredibly valuable expertise of actually studying computer science or engineering — something none of our professional advisers has done. 🙂
Hiring details:
Application open now, closing Monday May 1
Start date: Autumn quarter 2017, preferably for the full year but dates are negotiable
Training should take place in Spring and Summer 2017; exact dates are flexible
To apply: Complete the online application here and send a resume to jenifer@cs.uw.edu
Questions: Contact Jenifer about hiring logistics or advising in general, or contact current Peer Advisers Riley and Mari about their experience in this position.
