The autumn 2024 colloquia sections for PMP students are:

CSE 519 D: Current Research in Computer Science
Grading: CR/NC

CSE 520 D: Computer Science Colloquium
Grading: CR/NC

SLN codes for PMP colloquia sections are viewable on the autumn PCE time schedule.

All colloquia resources, including the colloquia search and reporting tools and requirements for earning credit, appear in the PMP student handbook under Academics - colloquium requirements and access.

Autumn 2024 registration will open over the summer. This page will be updated and students will receive advance notification of the exact date once it is determined!

Find a registration process overview, relevant links, and troubleshooting assistance in the Registration and Financials section of the PMP student handbook.

Autumn course and colloquium schedules and SLN codes are viewable on the time schedule:

> CSEP course time schedule and SLN codes

> PMP colloquium time schedule and SLN codes

Students may also locate SLN codes in MyPlan. The most straightforward way to locate PMP/CSEP courses is to search for 'CSE P' with the 'find PCE sections only' box checked. This will display only the PMP sections of CSEP courses, which are nearly always numbered CSE P 5XX A and displayed on the 'Professional & Continuing Education' tab. Courses numbered CSEP 5XX M and displayed on the 'Seattle' tab are jointly-listed sections for the Allen School's fifth-year MS students only.

A step-by-step registration guide is available for student review. It describes the pre-registration steps required before first-time registration for a quarter, locating SLN codes, and completing registration transactions.
