POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Each student who accepts admission into the Computer Science & Engineering degree programs agrees to be bound by the provisions of this document.
Certain levels of academic performance are required to continue in good standing in the CSE department. The criteria and procedures below will be used in administering the CSE Satisfactory Progress Policy. These criteria and procedures are in addition to those of the University of Washington. 1. Students must complete three courses applicable toward their degree program each academic quarter in residence except summer quarter.
2. Students must complete at least one CSE course toward their degree per quarter, or a minimum of three CSE courses toward their degree per year. 3. In exceptional circumstances students may petition to take fewer than the minimum requirements stated in item 1 above. See an advisor if you wish to petition. 4. The minimum acceptable grade for any course required for the computer science or computer engineering majors (e.g. CSE majors courses, Math 308, TC 231, approved science, etc.) is 2.0. A course may be taken a maximum of two times to satisfy this requirement. All other course requirements are subject to the University’s minimum grade policy. 5. A student’s quarterly grade point average, and overall cumulative UW grade point average, must not fall below 2.0. If a course is taken more than once, all grades will be used in computing the grade point averages. 6. Students must not engage in academic misconduct. Students in good standing who are found responsible for a violation of the academic misconduct policy (detailed below), will immediately lose their Satisfactory Progress good standing and will be put on CSE departmental probation, in addition to any University disciplinary sanction which may be imposed through the Student Conduct Code process. Students who violate the academic misconduct policy who are already on CSE departmental probation may be removed from their major and the CSE department. 7. Graduation applications must be filed in accordance with University rules and regulations so that graduation takes place once all the requirements are satisfied. 8. Students who withdraw from the University without prior written approval of the Department, or are dropped for non-payment of fees, will forfeit their place in the program. Students must reapply for admission and, if re-admitted, must fulfill the requirements in effect at the time of re-admission.
All incidents of alleged Academic Misconduct will be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs. The Office of Academic Affairs will then refer the matter to the appropriate College for Student Conduct investigation and adjudication. In all considerations of academic misconduct, the department will carefully follow the letter and the spirit of the University’s Student Conduct Code. This code has been separately printed in pamphlet form and is available to any interested student from the Community Standards and Student Conduct office located in the HUB G20 or online at http://depts.washington.edu/cssc. For more information please see the Computer Science and Engineering Academic Misconduct page. The misuse of computing resources is considered another type of academic misconduct (for example, obtaining improper access to another student’s account). Before students obtain accounts on departmental computers they must sign an agreement stating that they will not misuse their accounts. Violations of this agreement may result in the loss of computer accounts and/or being removed from the major. Each student who accepts admission into the Computer Science & Engineering degree programs agrees to be bound by the provisions of this section.
