If you are a student at BC or elsewhere, please check out this helpful FAQ before emailing me.

  • I can't seem to register for your class. Can I get an override? Course registration in CS is managed centrally by the department in order to ensure that all our majors get into the courses they need to graduate. During registration, you can visit the CS Department website to get a link to the course waiting list. After registration is over and during the first week of class, seats tend to open up as people refine their schedules.
  • I'd like to be a TA. How do I apply? TA hiring is also managed centrally. About halfway through the semester, our IT manager, Phil Temples, puts out a call to CS majors and minors for TAs for the following semester. If you are not a CS major or minor, you can email Mr. Temples to request the link to the TA application form.
  • I'm a student elsewhere, and I want to be a graduate student in your lab. Can you hire me? Our department has no graduate programs (yet!), but I wish you the best of luck in your studies!
  • I'm a BC undergrad and I'd like to work in your lab. How do I apply? I generally only hire students who are double majors in CS and Linguistics or students who have taken one of my electives. If that sounds like you, get in touch a few weeks before the beginning of the semester.
  • I'm your advisee and I have a general question about registration, such as how to overload or how to withdraw from a course. I can try to help, but for registration questions outside the CS major, please see BC's really helpful Policies and Procedures website.
  • I'm your advisee and I have a question about how to get CS credit for a course offered outside BC's CS department. Who can help? To get CS credit for course you plan to take abroad, over the summer at another university, or during the school year in another department at BC, get in touch with our Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Samary, before you register for the class.

If you are not a student, or if you are a student but your question was not covered above, feel free to email me: prudhome@bc.edu.
