Registering for Classes as an Undergrad 

If you are still a undergrad, you need help to register for 5XX courses. You do not need to get instructor permission to register for CSE graduate courses if you have been admitted into the BS/MS program. Send vgrad-advisor@cs an email with your student number and the SLNs of the classes you want and I can get you registered.

How do you know if a course is a good fit for me? Will it be redundant with what I have already taken?

Short answer - graded graduate courses will always count towards your degree, so don't worry about that part.  The content of any course can vary depending on the offering, so it is always best to check with the instructor if you have any questions or concerns about whether it would be a good fit for you. When grad courses are finalized, we'll try to gather some more initial information about the expected background of grad courses, so stay tuned for a bit more information. 

Seminars

  • CSE 519/520: Colloquia/Distinguished Lecture talks. Find them here: https://www.cs.washington.edu/news_events
    • You are responsible for attending 8 talks per class (so if you register for both 519 and 520 in the same quarter, 16 talks). Can’t go one week? Watch archives on CSE youtube or the CSE website. 
    • CSE 520 is Thursdays at 3:30, CSE 519 is Tuesdays at 3:30. However, you are welcome to register for either one and attend whatever talks are available.
  • CSE 590: Research/Topical Seminars. 
    • You can register for any 590, but first consider: Is it a good fit for your areas of interest? How many people are enrolled? (this might help you determine if it's a small research group meeting or a larger seminar). Does it have a time/place listed? Always double check with instructor if you have questions.
