Summer Quarter 2020 Sessions A&B

Dear All:

The start of Summer Session 2020 still finds us mainly operating online. With the current social distancing measures in place, CSSCR is operating our consultant services fully on-line and our day to day in-person office operations remain closed (though see below for access to some in-person services). Both of our instructional classroom computing labs remain closed for the whole of Summer quarter.

Drop-in consulting services are fully online and to access consulting help simply send a note to CSSCR@uw.edu briefly stating your problem and whether you had previously worked with a specific consultant. We will then route the appropriate consultant to you. Hours for Summer Session will be M-F 8am-6pm for Session A and M-F 9am-5pm for Session B. (CSSCR is closed weekends and holidays.) NOTE: How this service will be accessed may change during the summer quarter but we will remain online for the duration of summer sessions.

CSSCR Main Office is closed with staff working remotely as much as possible. Staff can be reached via CSSCR@uw.edu. If you have questions or need to communicate with key staff please send a note during our business hours M-F 8am-5pm.

CSSCR workshops will be offered on a limited schedule this Summer. These may be videos, as well as synchronous sessions. For instructors, if you have a specific need for your class (e.g. an introduction to R) contact us at CSSCR@uw.edu and we can see if we can meet your need. Our CSSCR newsletter will detail these general workshops; this list will be available by July 1.

Data services will be on-line and accessed simply by sending a note to CSSCR@uw.edu.

The drop-in computer lab remains closed though this may be revisited as the University changes current distancing policies. The classroom labs are all closed and will remain so throughout the quarter.

Partial closure of our secure data room. If you need access please contact CSSCR@uw.edu. We hope to offer access by appointment, but staffing will limit access time and days available. This may change as distancing policy shifts.

Finally, any questions can be directed to CSSCR@uw.edu. Our experience with this past Spring Quarter suggests we can maintain a consistent and high level of service so please reach out to us if you have research/instructional needs or questions about what we can provide.

Our best wishes… and stay healthy!

Jerry
