Advisor's Toolbox for Students

Introduction

These tools are meant to assist you in the planning process. However, students are encouraged to contact a CUSP advisor with any questions they may have.

Quarterly Registration

 

  • Autumn 2009 registration tips for freshmen can be found here.
  • Pre-major course offerings sorted by day and time for the Autumn 09 quarter are here.
  • Wondering when to register? Go here.
  • Registration tips for pre-majors (non-freshmen) are here.
  • Cross campus enrollment procedure:

If you wish to enroll in classes at UW Seattle:

  1. If you came in as freshmen, you must complete 25 credits at UWB before cross-campus enrolling. Other matriculated students must complete 15 credits at UWB. Non-matriculated students are not eligible to register in cross-campus enrollment until the summer quarter.
  2. You must wait until Period 2 (the exception is Summer quarter, when students can register in Period 1).

Restrictions:

  1. Students will be allowed to register for up to 15 credits per academic year (Autumn-Summer)
  2. A maximum of 45 credits taken cross-campus may apply toward your UWB degree.

To register for classes, you will no longer need to go through your academic advisor, nor do you need to be registered in 10 credits at UWB. Instead,

  • Wait until period 2 (except Summer quarter, when you can register in Period 1).
  • If the course has prerequisites (you will need to check the UWS on-line course catalog to locate the course description), you may need to contact the respective adviser of the department which houses that course and request an add code. Because not all courses have been coded to accept UWB courses as equivalent prerequisites (e.g. MATH 124 = B CUSP 124), you may need to indicate this to the departmental adviser.
  • Register directly for your Seattle classes through MyUW.
  • If you decide to withdraw from the cross-campus course, you may do so on MyUW, following the same add/drop dates (and annual drop policies) as a UW Bothell course.
  • The course grade for the UW Seattle course will be computed into your cumulative UW GPA.

Majors

 

  • Having trouble deciding on a major?

    There are a variety of ways to explore a major. First, it's important to keep in mind that there isn't one pathway to a specific career. So as far as pursuing a major, one resource is our Career Services. They have a variety of tools to assist you in exploring majors. Other ways to explore include talking to folks who do what you are interested in - How did they get to where they are? Also, think about the classes that you are really interested in. Could you take this type of coursework to another level? Do an internship. Volunteer. Sometimes new experiences can open us up to new directions. Another way is to look at the various majors and their required classes. Do any draw your interests? Also, you are always welcome come by and bounce your thoughts off of me, though if you want some career guidance, I definitely encourage you to take advantage of Career Services and their many resources. You can go to their website here.
