Hello Allen School Students! Welcome to the 3rd weekly ACM Newsletter for this quarter where we’ll be compiling all of our upcoming events and general announcements.

Event Recaps

DA Trivia Night Recap

Thank you to everyone who came to the ACM DA Trivia Night! We’re planning on hosting more Trivia/Quiz Bowl style events for everybody, so if you are interested in those then be on the lookout for our upcoming events!

Big/Little Hangout Recap

Our first ACM Big/Little event after orientation was on Wednesday October 23rd! We set up a lot of snacks, ice cream, and soda in the CSE2 Undergraduate Commons for Bigs and Littles to just drop by and hang out with each other. If you didn’t get a chance to attend this event, don’t worry, we’ll be hosting many more events for you to hang out with each other in the future.

Interview Prep Session #1 Recap

Our first Interview Prep session for this quarter was last night in CSE2 from 5-6pm, led by ACM officers Thomas Fuller and Michael Sulistio! They went over the job application process, the different types of interviews, how to effectively prepare for interviews, and ended with a mock interview. One lucky student also won a copy of Cracking the Coding Interview from our raffle! If you weren’t able to attend, here is a link to the slides they went over last night:

Questions & Feedback

If you have any questions about ACM and/or any feedback, feel free to contact us at acm-officers@cs.washington.edu

We are going through graduation applications and it seems that many students are not understanding that the last 60 credits you take for your UW degree need to be here at UW (this does not include official UW study abroad).

There is an exception for up to 15 credits taken via distance learning, community college transfer, etc, but beyond that is generally not allowed. If you are taking a course at a local community college in your last two years after matriculating at UW, you need to be aware of this restriction and check with advising before assuming it is okay. You also need to be really careful with distance learning courses.  Here is a link to the UW page with the official explanation of Residence Credit.

https://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/academic-planning/terms-and-policies/

Residence Credits

To graduate with a baccalaureate degree, a student must complete at least 45 credits in residence at the UW. Residence credits are UW credits earned through the campus granting the degree.

In addition, 45 of the last 60 credits must be taken in residence; this is referred to as the final-year residence requirement. The idea is that in order to earn a UW degree, the majority of your final courses — which are usually upper division courses in your major — should be taken through the UW. These courses may be part of a study abroad program as long as the courses are offered as part of a UW program. Exceptions to the final-year residence rule may be made by each individual college.

Residence credit includes:

• Day and evening courses from the quarterly time schedule at the student’s home UW campus, including fieldwork and individual-study courses that don’t require that the student be on campus, but not including C-prefix or DL-prefix online learning courses
• Evening Degree Program courses
• Credit courses offered by UW Professional and Continuing Education taken by students in good academic standing, except C-prefix and DL-prefix online learning courses
• Foreign study credit earned through UW-sponsored International Programs and Exchanges that are recorded on the transcript as UW credit

Residence credit does not include:

• Transfer courses
• UW online learning courses, including both UW C-prefix and DL-prefix courses
• Any UW courses taken by students on drop status
• UW-Bothell or UW-Tacoma credits, for students matriculated at the Seattle campus, and vice-versa. Only credits earned at the campus granting the degree are considered residence credits.
• AP and International Baccalaureate credit
• Advanced placement credit
• Credit by examination
• College in the High School, including courses sponsored by UW Professional and Continuing Education
• Armed Forces Training School credit
• Foreign study credit that appears on the student’s transcript as transfer credit
