Hello Autumn Incoming Part-time EDP students -

We are excited to have you join us soon. Please read carefully the following updates and reminders and, as always, please send questions to mswadvising@uw.edu.

Soc W 500H moving to Tuesday evenings

We will be moving one section of Soc W 500 to Tuesday evenings to minimize conflicts with religious holidays. Section 500H, taught by Dr. Jen Self, will move from Wednesday evening to Tuesday evening. The other section, 500I, with Sarah Porter, will stay on Wednesday evenings as currently scheduled. The change will not show up officially until next week due to processing time by the UW Office of University Registrar.

If you have registered for Jen's section (Soc W 500H) and moving to Tuesday works for your schedule, you don't need to do anything.
If you're needing to stay in a Wednesday night session or would like to do so, you can drop 500H and add 500I with Sarah Porter (SLN: 21469) in register.uw, no add code needed.
If you're in Sarah's Wednesday section but would like to move to the Tuesday section for religious reasons, please login to register.uw and attempt to drop section I and add section H (SLN: 21468). If there isn't space, please email mswadvising@uw.edu and we'll work to get you moved over.

While this change reduced some conflicts with religious holidays, no schedule can eliminate them. Please review the UW policy about requesting religious accommodations and plan to submit requests for accommodations in a timely manner.

Orientation Reminder to RSVP

As we've mentioned before, there are two DAY Orientations for you to attend and both are mandatory. We've noticed that not all students have registered to attend and we want to make sure these events are on your schedules:

Part 1: Virtual Orientation

Tuesday, Sept 16th, 5-7pm (remote, mandatory, although will be recorded)

Part 2: In-person Mandatory Orientation

Friday, September 19th, 9:30-4pm

Please register for both orientations, if you have not yet done so - or let us know at mswadvising@uw.edu if you are not able to attend either.
