Join us on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 2:00 - 4:30pm for the "New Student Orientation" in the CSE Building (Engineering Building Unit #3B), room 1202 (First Floor Auditorium).

Meet new CSE students, CSE faculty, and CSE staff advisors!

Come learn about:

• Our Major Programs in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Bioinformatics
• Prerequisites for CSE Courses, AP Credit, and Transfer Course Credit
• How to sign up to tutor in CSE Classes
• Difference between CSE 8A/8AL and CSE 11
• Combined Bachelor Degree and Master of Science Degree
• Undergraduate Research in the CSE Department and how to prepare for employment and Graduate School
• Internship and employment opportunties

During summer 2009 (mid-June), you will receive notification from your college with orientation and course enrollment information.  Please be sure to visit your colleges website and follow their instructions, before you contact the CSE Department.

One question we get quite a bit is "What type of computer do I need to buy?".  Check out our FAQ page for more information on this.

We have two CSE Majors Advisors to assist you with getting started.  Come see us in the CSE Building, first floor in the CSE Student Affairs Wing.

• Students with last name A-L, see Viera Kair in room 1236, or email vkair@cs.ucsd.edu, or call 858/822-1535
• Students with last name M-Z, see Pat Raczka in room 1238, or email raczka@cs.ucsd.edu, or call 858/534-3621

The Jacobs School maintains electronic mailings lists that we use when we need to notify you of course changes, major requirement changes, announcements of important forums, and even job notices, therefore, check your UCSD email account regularly.

A word to the wise: We are very busy during the first two weeks of the quarter (add/drop period), therefore, please plan accordingly. One more point: DO NOT believe every rumor you hear, always check with us first. This will save you a lot of headaches! Believe it or not, the department is a better source of information than your roommate(s) and/or friend(s).

We are here to guide you and make your experience at UCSD a great one! We look forward to seeing you in the fall. In the meantime, enjoy your summer.

Respectfully yours,

Viera Kair and Patricia M. Raczka, (CSE Undergradaute Student Affairs Staff)
