Tutorials


Welcome to the CS tutorials page. We've put together seven tutorials to help you learn more about the CS program and show you important information about the curriculum, co-op, study abroad opportunities, CS computing resources, and life outside the classroom.

There is a lot of information you need and this is a great way to get a head start. Consider this your first homework assignment!

Once you've completed all seven tutorials click "finish" and you will be directed to a survey. If you need to take a break click "leave now" and fill out the survey in it's entirety. Each student can complete the survey as many times as necessary. We will be tracking the tutorials all summer so be sure to view all seven before you arrive in fall.
