Fall 2023: Week 8

Advising Updates

Major/Certificate Declaration Pause


Computer Sciences Advising Team will be pausing Computer Sciences major and certificate declaration processing from November 10 through November 26. All declaration requests submitted by 8:00 am on November 10 will be processed, but after that we will be putting our processing on pause until the morning of November 27. The declaration request forms will still be open for submission, but the processing of request forms will be paused. This timeline will also be posted on our website and forms. Once we resume processing, students who have submitted a request will receive an e-mail welcoming them to the Comp Sci major/certificate.

 

Please note that Comp Sci enrollment restrictions on some Comp Sci courses are in effect until Wednesday, November 29.

 

Mandatory Major Declaration Holds


L&S students who may have a Mandatory Major Declaration Hold can still connect with CS advisors via advising@cs.wisc.edu or via an advising appointment to have discussions about their Comp Sci major declaration plans.


Interested in CS, but Haven't Declared?


Starting the week of November 6, Comp Sci advisors will be hosting limited advising appointments for undeclared, CS-interested students. We will resume having more open appointments for all CS-interested students during the week of December 4.
