2025 Calendar and Areas of Emphasis
by CSCOUNS 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hi Everyone, We have updated our website with the 2025 calendar year changes. You don’t have to change to this new calendar. The CIS courses changing from 0.75 to 0.5 credits starting in fall 2025 will apply to everyone taking those courses going forward. If you have already completed some of them they will stay as 0.75cr. If you would like to change to the 2025 academic requirements (mandatory Area of Emphasis, one extra 3000 level CIS elective) you can now start handing in the online Schedule of Studies change form like in the attached image. (With your current major and new AoE). This would not change your Co-op academic-work sequence. Sincerely, Sarah and Greg More details: https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/current/academic-advising/ Schedule of Studies change request form: https://gryphforms.uoguelph.ca/form.aspx?pid=e57c50a3-a1d3-4164-9403-15eb77… [declareAoE_2024.png]

Letter of Permission Clarifications
by CSCOUNS 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hi again, Some clarifications on taking a course at another university on a letter of permission (LOP). It’s a fairly risky approach for a required CIS course. If there are no other options then yes, go for the LOP, but for now, also consider that there is lots more time left in this semester, things change, maybe your current courses can work out. * You can’t be in the course when requesting the LOP. * We don’t make any guarantees on the other university’s course beyond that it will transfer as a credit as approved on the letter of permission if you pass it. The other university might not offer or cancel their course at anytime, even during the first weeks of the semester. * The LOP request does not register you in the course.You will need to work on your own to become a visiting student at that university, register for course at that university, and pay tuition to that university. * Grades from LOP courses do not transfer; they will be on your transcript with the other university. If you pass the course the credit will transfer but the grade will stay at the other University. * You will not be able to register in future Guelph courses that require the LOP course until you complete the letter of permission course and have the transfer credit processed at Guelph. * University courses are not identical; they vary. The LOP course will not be an exact match for the Guelph course but it will be close. The failed course + LOP course + some self study should help you to catch up and continue with your courses at Guelph. * There are additional details on page 2 of the form: https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/sites/undergraduate/files/docs/request_LO… Once you are sure on a LOP please send it to us and we will submit it. You will immediately be charged a non refundable $70 processing fee per request by Registrarial Services. Then you need to take the course and complete it in the semester shown on your LOP, pay tuition to the other university, and then pay for a transcript to be sent back to Guelph once you complete the course. If you fail the course or don’t order the transcript, the course will go on your transcript with an “F” for fail. The LOP course does not count towards Guelph registration, full time/part time status. The grade will stay on the other university’s transcript, it does not transfer to Guelph.

Dropping semester four CIS courses?
by CSCOUNS 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hi Everyone, A large part of our role is to inform students about their academic options. As we are starting to receive questions about dropping CIS*3110, CIS*2750, or CIS*3490, we are emailing so you can make informed decisions. First, to be clear, we don’t see in progress grades, only final grades. You may be doing well this semester, not even considering dropping any of those courses, in which case please ignore this email. Scenarios: * A student drops or fails CIS*3110: they can re-take it next winter at Guelph. Options for CIS electives will be limited until it is made up. You may be able to make it up earlier on a Letter of Permission (LOP). The main approved course is TMU’s CCPS 590 but there is also Ottawa’s CSI 3131, Waterloo’s CS350, or York’s EECS 3221. * Athabasca COMP341 and TRU’s COMP 3411 are not acceptable equivalents. * A student drops or fails CIS*3490: they can re-take it next winter at Guelph or take TMU’s CCPS 616 on LOP. * A student drops or fails CIS*2750: they can re-take it next Fall or Winter at Guelph. In all of these hypothetical scenarios the student would need to make up the missed 0.5 (or .75) credit by taking an extra course sometime before graduation. This could be a summer DE or regular course or a semester overload with 3.0 credits in a future semester, 3rd or 4th year. If you are dropping multiple courses or generally feel lost please check in so we can help you with an individual plan. A letter of permission [LOP] approves a course at another university for transfer credit to Guelph. You will need to work on your own to become a visiting student at that university, register for courses at that university, and pay tuition to that university. The LOP does not register you in the course. University courses are not identical, they vary. The LOP course will not be an exact match for the Guelph course. It will be close, and the failed course + LOP course + some self study should help you to catch up and continue with your courses at Guelph. Grades do not transfer, they will be on your transcript with the other university. If you pass the course the credit will transfer but the grade will stay at the other University. https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/undergraduate/letterofpermission Sincerely, -------- Sarah Brennan, M.A. | Program Counsellor Greg Klotz, Ph.D. | Program Counsellor School of Computer Science | University of Guelph

Dropping semester two CIS courses?
by CSCOUNS 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hi Everyone, A large part of our role is to inform students about their academic options. As we are starting to receive questions about dropping CIS*2250, CIS*2500, or CIS*2910, we are emailing so you can make informed decisions. First, to be clear, we don’t see in progress grades, only final grades. You may be doing well this semester, not even considering dropping any of those courses, in which case please ignore this email. Scenarios: * A student drops or fails CIS*2250: they can re-take it next winter, it does not delay graduation or progress towards the major. There is no approved alternative course option to take before then. * A student drops or fails CIS*2500: if they plan to take semester 3 courses in the fall (CIS*2030, CIS*2430, CIS*2520) they need to make up this course in the summer at another university on a letter of permission. The main approved course is TMU’s CCPS 393. * A student drops or fails CIS*2910: they can re-take it in a later winter semester. It is not a pre-requisite for future CIS courses, as long as it is completed before graduation it’s fine. In all of these hypothetical scenarios the student would need to make up the missed 0.5 credit by taking an extra course sometime before graduation. This could be a summer DE or regular course or a semester overload with 3.0 credits in a future semester, 3rd or 4th year. If you are dropping multiple courses or generally feel lost please check in so we can help you with an individual plan.

Fall 2024 Course Selection
by CSCOUNS 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi Everyone, Fall 2024 course information is on WebAdvisor now, please start planning your fall courses. Registrarial Services already sent you email, short version is course selection starts June 18th but your start date depends on you completed and in progress credits. If you have questions or concerns now is a good time to ask. For questions about your minor or the minor's courses the Faculty Advisors would be better: https://www.uoguelph.ca/uaic/facultyadvisors Many subjects will have restrictions, if you need a minor declared now would be a good time for that too: https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… If you are getting close to graduation please be careful with the WebAdvisor Planning tool. It is not always accurate, especially when counting 1000 level credits and COOP credits. During course selection we are helping a hundred to a hundred and fifty student a day. Please ask for help as soon as you need it, and the clearer you can be the faster we can help.

COOP Credits and Graduation
by CSCOUNS 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Hi Everyone, You are taking a 4th year CIS course which suggests you are getting close to graduation. We just want to highlight that if you have Co-op work terms like COOP*1000, COOP*2000 etc. and they have credits, those do not count towards the academic credit requirements. The Honours degree requires 20.0 credits not including work term credits. Effective Summer 2019, Co-op work terms have been assigned a 0.5 credit weight. The Student Planning tool includes the work term credits in the progress bar which can appear misleading. A student with five work terms for credit will require at least 22.5 credits whereas a student with four work terms for credit would require 22.0 credits. Please double check your academic credits manually. If you have COOP credits subtract them from your expected total credits. The result needs to be 20.0 or higher. If you find you are short on academic credits course selection is open until midnight tonight (January 13). You can even overload yourself today pending available space in courses, up to 3.25 credits, if you need to. Sincerely, -------- Sarah Brennan, M.A. | Program Counsellor Greg Klotz, Ph.D. | Program Counsellor School of Computer Science | University of Guelph https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… I provide academic advising. If your questions involve OSAP, financials, bursaries, international student visas, etc. it is your responsibility to ask about those so we can refer your question appropriately.

CIS Course Selection for Winter 2023
by CSCOUNS 13 Nov '22

13 Nov '22

Hi Everyone, This email is mostly for Bachelor of Computing students but all students in CIS courses are included in case you need help adding a winter CIS course. If you are not a BCOMP student you need to connect with your program counsellor for other academic advising, not us. Course selection starts soon. Please read this email so you know what to expect when registering in CIS courses and how you can get help if you need it. Depending on how many credits you have (completed + in progress [not planned]), you will be able to register for winter courses on: 17.75+ Monday November 14 15.25+ Tuesday November 15 12.75+ Wednesday November 16 10.25+ Thursday November 17 7.75+ Friday November 18 5.25+ Monday November 21 2.75+ Tuesday November 22 0.00+ BCOMP Wednesday November 23 0.00+ Thursday November 24 Registration starts at 8:00am on that day. Most days space will be manually added. It might be on WebAdvisor around 8:30am or 9am. Course selection will start with the 4th year students over two days, so 4000 level CIS courses will get spaces both days. They will be fully open by the second day. Then third, second, and first - based on credit level. You want to register for courses on the first day you can, to ensure you get into required and elective CIS courses. For example if a 4th year student waits longer the spots might be taken by other students on Wednesday and the course will be full. If you need help or have questions the best way to get help will be to talk to us in online Microsoft Teams office hours. We plan to be available 8:30am to 10:00am Monday through Friday during the first two weeks of course selection. We will update our website frequently: https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… Office Hours Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_OTIyNDY5MGYtNWJhZS00MW…<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_OTIyNDY5MGYtNWJhZS00MW…"Tid":"be62a12b-2cad-49a1-a5fa-85f4f3156a7d","Oid":"f18d6872-b04c-43df-9efc-fa4578d6119d"}> Sincerely, Sarah and Greg -------- Sarah Brennan, M.A. | Program Counsellor Greg Klotz, Ph.D. | Program Counsellor School of Computer Science | University of Guelph https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… -------- Sarah Brennan, M.A. | Program Counsellor Greg Klotz, Ph.D. | Program Counsellor School of Computer Science | University of Guelph https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… I provide academic advising.

F22 CIS*2520 Instructor Change
by CSCOUNS 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Dear CIS*2520 students: As you have been made aware, Dr. Charlie Obimbo needed to extend his leave. As a result, SoCS has hired Mr. Yukun Shi to take over the course, starting this week. We feel sorry that you need to study with three different instructors for this course. However, when Dr. Obimbo first requested a 3-week leave, we believed that Dr. Yan Yan can offer you the best learning experience over this period, since she taught a Data Structure course at Thompson River University. We didn’t expect at the time that Dr. Obimbo’s leave would go beyond 4 weeks. In any case, we trust that Mr. Shi, who is a PhD student at SoCS, is highly capable for guiding you through the reminder of the course. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to me (director(a)socs.uoguelph.ca<mailto:director@socs.uoguelph.ca>). Best Wishes Minglun -------------------------------------------------- Professor and Director School of Computer Science University of Guelph Guelph, ON, Canada, N1G 2W1 Phone: 519-824-4120 ext. 54019 http://socs.uoguelph.ca/~minglun/

Usage for Reynolds space
by School of Computer Science Director 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Dear all, Good afternoon and welcome back to the start of an exciting Fall 2022 semester! There are a few things about Reynolds that I would like to bring to your attention. 1. Following the university's policy, we have designated room 0001 in the basement as a mask required area for undergraduate students. Those who wish to wear masks when work in Reynolds are welcomed to use this room. Similarly, room 3321 has been designated as a mask required area for graduate students. 1. The study space on the main floor is a quiet study space between 8:30am-4:30pm each weekday. If you wish to discuss/socialize with classmates/friends, please use one of the rooms downstairs (for undergraduate students) or the grad lounge (for graduate students). You will be asked to relocate if you are disturbing any of the offices on the first floor. Thank you and wishing everyone a success Fall semester.
