CS 690 Colloquium: Requirements

• Master's Students must attend 10 colloquia during the time they are master's students.
• PhD Students must attend 20 colloquia during the time they are PhD students.
• As a consequence of the previous two bullets, a student receiving both an MS and a PhD from this department must attend a total of 30 colloquia.

• Each time you attend you should get a faculty member to sign a colloquium form. The forms are available in the CS Department office. Keep the signed forms in a save place. Wise students will make a copy of each form and save it in another safe place just in case.
• Students may attend Ph. D. defenses and count them as colloquia. One Ph. D. defense counts as one colloquium. A faculty member must sign a colloquium form.
• Students may attend Master's Project or Thesis presentations and count them as colloquia. ONE Master's group event counts as ONE colloquium. A faculty member must sign a colloquium form. (This policy has been instituted since master's group events have become the department standard. Formerly, two individual master's project events counted as one colloquium.)
