As a reminder, this survey is your first chance to request a Capstone, and your best chance to get the Capstone you want! If you miss this survey, some Capstones will fill and space may be limited in the class you want. So, if you’d like to take a Capstone anytime next year, read through the info (including info about all of next year’s capstones) on this page, consider your preferred capstone(s), and request a space ASAP.

Remember that a Capstone is required for CE majors, and highly-recommended for CS majors.

Unpaid Locker Cutting in EE Bldg: July 12th

[If you do not rent a locker in the EE building from HKN – you may delete this message!]

Dear Comp E and CS locker users,

On Friday, July 12th, unpaid lockers in the EE building will be cut. Those at risk should have reminder slips in their lockers. If you have received a reminder, but have paid for a locker or otherwise believe that you shouldn’t have your lock cut, please notify hknlockers@gmail.com IMMEDIATELY – otherwise your things will be safely removed and stored in our offices. For everyone else who received a reminder, you’ll need to fill out the locker registration form (including the payment), or your things will be cleared from the locker and stored in our offices.

We will hold on to your things until we cut locks for Autumn quarter (so about 3 weeks into the quarter), but after that we will need to make room for Autumn quarter. Please contact us (at hknlockers@gmail.com) within the first 3 weeks of Autumn quarter to retrieve your things, otherwise they will be lost forever.

-HKN
