Advising » General Information
March 24-April 16/2008 - Priority registration for the 2008 Fall Semester and both 2008 Summer Sessions. See for priority registration windows. Add-drop is scheduled periodically until the beginning of the semester.
Our department starts the advising process for scheduling courses as soon as schedules are available. You can stop by anytime during the semester with questions related to your progress and other advising issues. Please preregister! Every semester we have an influx of students who did not preregister. If you don't preregister you will not be assured a space in the class. We find that it is extremely difficult to move classes at the last minute to larger rooms to make space for late arrivals.
Information
You can use the Registrar's schedule of classes to get the most up-to-date information about courses. Changes to CS offerings are posted on the web advising form. I suggest that you check these links before signing up for courses.
Registration
An advisor (currently your DUS and Ms. Wells) must authorize the lifting of your advisor hold (see Getting Holds Lifted). In short, you need to touch base with your advisor and get him or her to “sign off” on your course selection. Please complete a progress from/checklist. Printed copies are also available from Ms. Wells in 763C FPAT. Note that in individual cases requirements may vary so check with your advisor. This form allows you to see your progress in the program and requirements that you need to complete. Also bring this form for an advising session when you see your advisor. Please work on the selection of courses and on the advising checklist prior to visiting with your advisor to make the process more productive. Your advisor can sign this form and you can return it to the CS office, or you can fill it out and leave it in the CS office for review by an advisor. Visit a web form by which you can get your hold lifted; this page should be used prior to seeing your advisor. Until we get the advising checklist and enter you into the University IRIS (myUK) system, you will be unable to register for classes.
Engineering Standing
If you want to register for courses that require Engineering Standing, please make sure that you have applied and been accepted to Engineering Standing. To obtain Engineering Standing you need to complete the pre-Engineering courses with a 2.5 grade point average. If you want to be considered for Engineering Standing send e-mail to your DUS (jurek@cs.uky.edu) and he will evaluate your transcript and reply to you. If you use the Web form to request advising information there is a check box you can use to prompt us to check for engineering standing.
