Attestation To succeed and go forward the CS Principles course must be endorsed by departments and department chairs. As ACM Fellow, CS Principles advisory board member and piloting faculty Larry Snyder writes in his call for endorsement and attestation: It is critical that all CS Departments that generally endorse the new AP CS Principles course make their support known explicitly. If individual departments speak as one, we will have a community response that will keep the effort on track. As explained below, the process involves sending an electronic "attestation letter" to the College Board, initialed by the chair. The schools listed below have attested and agreed to have their attestation made public. Please join this list by having your chair attest as well --- please visit the College Board attestation page to endorse the CS Principles project. You'll need to scroll in the page to find the form you'll fill out to attest. Alternatively, you can go directly to the attestation section of the page via this link . We more than met the goal that the College Board and NSF had agreed to in the number and type of schools attesting to the CS Principles course. Our community came together to support this in what is an unprecedented show of support. Thanks to everyone who took the time to look into the course and attest, the future you've made possible looks very promising! As of May 10 there are more than eighty schools that have attested to the CS Principles course including the following: University of California Irvine University of Maryland Baltimore County Georgia Tech University of Washington Metropolitan State College of Denver Duke University Lehigh University Harvey Mudd College Stanford University Florida Institute of Technology University of South Carolina University of California San Diego Cal Poly State University (San Luis Obispo) University at Albany (SUNY) Middlebury College Carnegie Mellon University University of Texas at Austin University of New Hampshire Illinois Institute of Technology Wake Forest University University of Illinois at Chicago The College of William and Mary Carleton University Oakland University Saint Louis University Virginia Tech Bowdoin College Western Carolina University The Ohio State University University of Central Arkansas Wellesley College University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Loyola University of Chicago, Computer Science Seattle University University of Memphis Cornell University University of New Hampshire at Manchester University of British Columbia Bryn Mawr College Kalamazoo College University of North Carolina Charlotte University of Washington, Tacoma, Institute of Technology St. Xavier University Marquette University The College at Brockport (SUNY) University of Califorinia, Berkeley Princeton University Emory University Florida International University University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Oregon State University Indiana University school of Informatics and Computing University of Wisconsin, Madison University of Rochester United States Naval Academy University of Arizona UCLA University of Massachusetts, Amherst Trinity College (Hartford, CT) University of Colorado UNC Greensboro University of Texas at Arlington Texas State University-San Marcos University of Virginia Columbia University University of Minnesota North Carolina State University University of Connecticut Texas A&M University Northwestern University Purdue University Colorado School of Mines University of Delaware Drexel University University of Central Florida Towson University Old Dominion University University of Washington Bothell Case Western Reserve University Lawrence Technological University University of Alabama
