Weekly Reminder from CEE

Posted on by

Below is the important information for the week.

Reminders

  • Refresh your audit once your SPR20 registration is complete. Make sure everything is in place and applying to your degree as you intended!
  • S/NS option will not satisfy degree requirements. Only change a course to S/NS once you have discussed with your adviser.
  • Students must remember to enroll in classes. Access to the CANVAS site does not mean you are enrolled!

Graduation Milestones 

Since it is a new quarter, it may be helpful to review the different graduation milestones you may reach this Spring.

IMPORTANT DEADLINE! If you plan to graduate this quarter and want your name in the UW Commencement program, you must have applied for your degree by April 17th! This may be subject to change, since final details about commencement and CEE graduation are still being figured out, but as of right now we have not heard anything different. If possible, it would be a good idea to assume this deadline will be the same until we hear otherwise.

CEE COVID-19 Resources Reminder

CEE has compiled important resources for spring quarter in a handy guide on our website.

Let us know if you are looking for something that isn’t already on there as we will be updating this consistently.

Important Registration Deadlines

  • The registrar’s office has extended the deadline to add and drop classes to April 12th
  • April 13th, Summer quarter registration opens up for priority I registration
  •  April 19th is the last day to add a course through MyUW (fees and tuition forfeiture may apply)

Opportunities

Bridge Center Scholarships

 As we move into Spring Quarter and are continuing to deal with the challenges presented with the COVID-19 pandemic, I wanted to share with folks that the Bridges Center’s staff have been working diligently to ensure that resources and advising are still available and accessible to the UW community. Financial support for students is more important now than ever, so I wanted to send out a reminder to folks that the Bridges Center has a wide variety of scholarships and funding available to undergraduate and graduate students, with applications that are currently open! However, due to the stresses and new unknowns that our community of students, staff and faculty have had to navigate, we are extending the deadline for applications from April 13th to April 30th, 11:59pm.

By submitting our single online application, you will be considered for up to seven different awards (viewable here: https://labor.washington.edu/scholarships-and-prizes).

We hope that during this time you will not hesitate to reach out to the Bridges Center for support, whether it is help with your scholarship application, course work, or other support. If you are seeking community resources in relation to support with COVID-19, or interested in conducting worker-oriented research during this time, please take a look at our Labor Responds to COVID-19 page on our website for a list of community responses, mutual aid efforts, and more.

Campus Mental Health Resources for Students 

As we launch into spring quarter with remote learning, Hall Health Mental Health and the Counseling Center wanted to share answers to questions you may have about the mental health resources available for students, as we cope with COVID-19 stress.

Will Let’s Talk be available? This quarter we are piloting Let’s Talk online. This week of March 30th, Let’s Talk will be offered on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 2-4pm.

What mental health services are available? Students who are interested in mental health services are able to schedule a secure online appointment with a counselor.  Individual, group and crisis counseling are available via secure online video sessions. Students can also access online workshops and other content to enhance your well-being and self-care.

What can I expect from an online appointment with the Counseling Center or Hall Health Mental Health? We will meet with you via secure online video sessions and can discuss your concerns. We will then work collaboratively with you to develop a plan for next steps. Next steps may include effective coping strategies, a follow-up appointment, or referral to other resources.

Who should I contact for mental health services? Both Hall Health Mental Health and the Counseling Center offer similar counseling services. If you already have a provider at Hall Health or you are interested in medication, Hall Health may be a good place to start. If you do not have access to health insurance, the Counseling Center may be a good place to start. Either way, the professionals at both places can help direct you to the appropriate service. What additional option will be available this quarter to attend to my mental wellbeing?

There are a number of resources available online, including:
