WPE I registration: Towards the end of each semester, the CIS Graduate Coordinator will send email to all graduate students in the CIS Department re: registering for the WPE I exams - students who wish to take the WPE I exams will return the registration to the Coordinator who will assign them a name to be used on the exam(s) instead of their name - this is to ensure impartiality in the grading of the WPE I. Enrollment in the relevant course is not necessary to register for the WPE I.
