Spring has finally arrived in Seattle!! I hope that you all had a moment to enjoy the great weather we had on Sunday. There are some important items I wanted to share with you this week so please read on!
225 Double Degree Policy: A follow up to my email last week regarding the new University policy. Departments have been given the ability to award exemptions to students that are graduating in or applying to graduate no later than Autumn 2011. So if you are planning to graduate in June 2011 and fill out a graduation application with me in Autumn 2010 then I can award the exemption to you. Please come talk with me if you have questions. More details (filled with University vocab) can be found here: https://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/advising/advisers/double/
