CS Colloquium Schedule

The Department of Computer Science of Colorado State University, in cooperation with ISTeC (Information Science and Technology Center), offers the CS Colloquium series as a service to all who are interested in computer science.

Some seminars may be scheduled for days and/or times other than Monday 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM; these dates/times are in red. For help finding the locations of our seminar meetings, consult the on-line CSU campus map.

Students registered for CS692 will be graded by their attendance. A passing grade requires attendance of at least 70% of the seminars in one semester. Students attending the seminars that are scheduled outside the regular slot (i.e., marked red) will receive extra credits. These extra credits will be used to substitute when students have missed the regular seminars. Students are expected to be familiar with the Computer Science Department's policies regarding academic integrity and code of conduct. In addition, the following policies are specially applicable:

1. Students must be in their seats no later than at most 5 minutes after the start of the seminar. Students arriving later than 5 minutes will be marked absent for that class. No exceptions.
2. Using cellular phones, smartphones and other mobile devices during the presentation is forbidden unless asked by the speaker.
   
3. Laptop or tablet use for checking emails, browsing the web or other activities not related to the presentation is forbidden. If you absolutely need to use one, please sit in the back row.
