CS 544, 599A Canceled for Fall Semester

Due to low enrollment, the Graduate School canceled CS 544 Knowledge Representation and Reasoning and CS 599A Bioinformatics Algorithms. Not surprisingly, we received more requests to register one day after the decision was passed down.

The Graduate School monitors class enrollments closely, and usually made the decision to drop a class 7-10 days before the semester starts. Students are encouraged to register early to help us manage course offerings.
