The top concerns were:
Responsibilities are allocated as follows:
For scholarships, UW GSO sends the scholarship letter, addressed to the student, to CS, along with a printout list for verification. Michelle enters the list and sends the letters to students (usually in the grad mail slots). Sometimes the list arrives electronically as an Excel spreadsheet.
TA allocation starts with preference forms going out to students 2 months before the beginning of term. Forms are typically requested back 3 weeks later. A preliminary draft of the TA schedule is prepared around 2 weeks prior to the beginning of term. 1st-time students normally go to 1st-year courses.
GSO contact—Jeannette Nugent, assistant director.
