Autumn Quarter Advising Note

Welcome, new CEE majors!   Welcome back, returning CEE majors!

I hope you had a great summer and that you are excited for the new academic year.   I’ve heard from many students who had wonderful internships over the summer and from those who have already earned their EIT license.  Congratulations!

I look forward to meeting all the new CEE major (all 153 of you!) at the CEE Welcome and Orientation Day on Wednesday, October 1, from 4-6:30pm in the HUB North Ballroom.  I’ll send a separate reminder about that along with additional information for new majors in a following email.

Here are some reminders.  (Seniors: Please read an important note for you at the bottom of this list.)

 

  1. Check the CEE Undergraduate News Blog for postings on jobs & internships, scholarships, events, advising notes, and much more.   Check often or subscribe to receive posts by email or RSS feed so you can receive announcements and information of interest to CEE majors on a timely basis.
  2. Check the CEE Advising Calendar for drop-in advising times and event reminders for CEE students.
  3. Drop-in Advising?  Yes!  Undergraduate advisors Megan Reardon and I post our drop-in advising times on the CEE Advising Calendar, so you can see when we’re available.  Drop-in advising time is intended for quick questions that can typically be addressed in 10-15 minutes.
  4. Need an appointment?  You can self-schedule an appointment with me online at www.tinyurl.com/cee-appt-ugrad, or write to ceadvice@uw.edu.  (You’ll need log on with your Gmail or UW Google Apps account to use the online appointment tool. Be sure your calendar is set to Pacific Time.)
  5. Need an add code for a CEE class?  Request CEE add codes online at  www.tinyurl.com/ceeaddcodes.  Please allow at least one business day for a reply (although we will often reply within the day or a few hours.)
  6. Be sure that the UW has received your most up-to-date official transfer transcript(s) if you have coursework from outside the UW.  (Official transcripts should be sent directly to the University of Washington, Office of Admissions, Box 355852.)

Important: Attention Seniors!    If you intend to graduate during the 2014-2015 year, you will need to apply for graduation (i.e., “submit your application for degree”) with me.  When your autumn quarter registration is finalized, go online to sign up for a Graduation Application Session.  Once you sign up for a graduation application session, I will carefully review your file in preparation for our meeting.   Finally, if you have not done so already, schedule and take your FE Exam so that you can get the EIT license.

Have a great year!

Mariko
