Computing end of semester: quick notes
by Greg Klotz 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi Everyone, Classes are almost over, exams are about to start. A couple of quick notes. The last day to drop fall courses so they disappear from your transcript is tomorrow, Friday November 29th. If you are going to drop a course don’t wait until the last minute. Since the drop deadline was extended to right before exams, late drops are not possible. (Well, they are, but it’s a full academic consideration request that won’t even be considered by the committee until late January.) Exams start next week. If you unintentionally miss an exam (illness, massive traffic jam on the 401, bus cancellation, etc.) please let April and me know. If it’s your first (and hopefully last) missed exam you don’t need to get a doctor’s note unless you’re seeing a doctor anyway. This is specific to Computing students. Deferred exams will be written the week of February 3rd. (If you intentionally miss a final exam to get a 0 tell me why? That’s just fascinating.) CIS courses are as open as they are going to get. If you can’t add a required CIS course please let us know by December 6th. After that you may not be able to register in it. Josh asked me to tell you TA offers will be sent out Monday. All the best on your exams, and I hope you have a good break afterwards. Sincerely, Greg Greg Klotz, Ph.D. Bachelor of Computing Program Counsellor 519-824-4120 x52711 Reynolds 1113

CIS*3750 first, then CIS*3760
by Greg Klotz 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Hi Everyone, Just a quick note as there are some student questions regarding this. Depending on your Calendar year, it might show you taking CIS*3760 first, then CIS*3750. This is no longer the case, but it does not impact your progress towards graduation. These courses were redesigned based on student feedback. Students used to be able to take them in either sequence, because 3750 was fall only, 3760 was winter only. This basically resulted in two offerings of the same course. They are now offered both fall and winter, and content from 3750 is required for 3760. If you are in SENG your last four academic semesters look like this: https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/calendars/undergraduate/current/c10/c10bc… Sincerely, Greg Greg Klotz, Ph.D. Bachelor of Computing Program Counsellor 519-824-4120 x52711 Reynolds 1113

Computing Academic Updates
by Greg Klotz 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Hi Everyone, A couple of quick updates. You have two Program Counsellors now! April Nejedly started on Monday. Half or her role is program counselling, the other half is academic integrity education. This is good news because we will be able to provide more timely and thorough advising. She is learning the rules and guidelines and we will likely co-advise for a while. Course selection for the winter semester starts next week. The University already sent you a detailed email about it, but one quick note: CIS courses have “rolling caps”. We manually add space to courses as course selection windows open each day to ensure all students have a fair chance at adding electives, balance lab enrolments, and prevent schedule conflicts. A person in the UC manually has to do this each morning, so courses might be getting space between 8:30 and 9:30 in the morning. Don’t panic if there are no CIS spots at 8am. However, if you can’t add a required CIS course by noon on the day of your course selection please email me asking for help. Include the course and your student number. Other helpful info: https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/courseselectionwindow https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/courseselectionrestrict Sincerely, Greg Greg Klotz, Ph.D. Bachelor of Computing Program Counsellor 519-824-4120 x52711 Reynolds 1113

Thornbrough Door Access - Please Read
by Dana Rea 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

The following notice is sent on behalf of Roy Morales, BCH. Software Engineering Candidate. Good day fellow Computing Students, I hope this email finds you well. We have great news for all of you. As you may have experienced in the past, when you tried to pass by the doors in Thorn near South residence after 5pm and on weekends, your student card does not allow you to get into the building. We were instructed that the only way to get in was to walk around the building. Considering that most of the labs will now be held in Thorn, and how bad winter gets during this time of year, it was important that we had to do something about our access to the building. Director Pascal Matsakis has been supportive to get our request to get access to the building. We will finally have access to Thorn back doors near South Residence, even after 5pm and on weekends. We do not have to walk in the cold. YES! 😀 In return, we need all of you to be a part of the change, and make sure our second home, Lab rooms, are clean and tidy (or access to Thorn back doors will be revoked). Let's dispose our garbage and recyclables in their proper bins. Thank you very much.

by Help＠SoCS 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

All, Due to issues we are experiencing with our Sunrays, a reboot of the SoCS file server is necessary. The file server will be rebooted at 4:30 and the process should take approximately 30 minutes. During this time all lab machines with the exception of our Mac Labs, and the Raspberry Pi lab will be unavailable. Thank you for your patience. Kyle

Message to students in CIS courses
by Stefan C. Kremer 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hello, As a student enrolled in a CIS course, I want to send an update on the labs in the Thornbrough building. As you know this is a new space and we are working to make it an effective environment for teaching and learning. Over the past two semesters, rooms 2418 and 2420 have been the subject of miss-use and vandalism. The vandalism has been brought to the attention of campus police. As a result of the costs incurred by the School in repairing and replacing destroyed and damaged equipment and due to the inaccessibility of these resources to our students, we are now implementing a new policy of keeping rooms 2420 locked 24/7. If you have a scheduled lab in the room, your TA will let you in. Alternately, you can obtain a FOB from Deb Byart (see below). A solution for 2418 is also being developed, but will take longer, due to the "open" nature of the physical layout of the space. None of these measure will be able to completely prevent the miss-use or damage to our labs. Another important component of protecting our space falls upon you! Please don't prop open the doors, or let in causal users of the labs (students not taking CIS courses). Additionally if you see damage or miss use of the lab facilities, please report them. Please include as much detail as possible and send it in an e-mail to director(a)socs.uoguelph.ca. Finally, I want to extend an invitation to you to help make the School of Computer Science a better place to learn. Please feel free to contact me with any constructive suggestions on how we can improve our facilities, classes and community. Kind regards, Stefan Kremer Director, School of Computer Science director(a)socs.uoguelph.ca Get your own FOB. =============== You are now eligible to purchase a fob for access to the Thornbrough and Reynolds buildings. Please come by Debra Byart's office in REY 112 anytime Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1-4:00 p.m. to purchase your fob. There is a $10 fee for the fobs. You MUST bring exact change or you won't be able to get your fob. This fee is non-refundable and the fob cannot be returned for a refund either. Your fob won't be activated immediately but an email confirmation will be sent to you when it has been activated. Once activated, you will be able to access: 1. The exterior door on the north side of Thornbrough facing the canon/closest to the stairwell leading up to the computer labs. 2. Thornbrough 2420. 3. Reynolds end doors for the basement and 1st floor. Thank you. -- Dr. Stefan C. Kremer, Director School of Computer Science skremer(a)uoguelph.ca * 519-824-4120x58913

Hi Everyone As you probably have heard, Dr. Deb Stacey's term as Director of the School of Computing is ending and we have begun the process of searching for (and appointing) a new Director. As part of that process we solicit input from all members of the School, including undergraduate students. On Tuesday, April 12, SOCS undergraduate students are invited to meet with the Dean and the search committee. The meeting will take place from 12:00noon - 1:00 pm in room 1511 in the Science Complex. Please come to learn about the process for selecting the new Director for SOCs and to provide input about issues and challenges that our new Director must address. I will be at the meeting as I am a member of the search committee. If you would like more information about what will happen at the meeting or the an part of the selection process please feel free to contact me directly.

SoCS password reset
by James Stark 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

All, You are getting this email because you are presently enrolled in one or more CIS*#### courses offered by the School of Computer Science (i.e. CIS*1000, CIS*1200, CIS*1500, ...). In order to use our lab facilities you were granted an account on our systems. This account is separate and independent of your central login account which is maintained by CCS (for gryph mail and the like). In order to deal with a number of issues that are being reported by people attempting to access our systems, it has become necessary to reset all of the undergraduate passwords for the School of Computer Science systems. At about noon tomorrow (Friday September 17, 2009), your password will be reset to your 7-digit student number. Those of you who did not change your password after logging into our labs for the first time will not notice this change. For everyone else, we apologize for the inconvenience. If you wish to change your password (which we strongly encourage), please login to windows on one of the terminals in one of our labs, then press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select "Change Password...", then follow the prompts. Please note that your new password will be subject to the following strength requirements: - The minimum length is 6 characters - Can not be all lowercase characters, uppercase characters, numbers, or punctuation. If your password is normally all lower case characters, capitalizing one letter is enough to satisfy this requirement. - Can not be a word in the dictionary (or a proper name). For those of you who would normally change your password through linux, you will also need to use the windows password change. This is due to a bug in Heimdal's kpasswdd implementation which causes the password change to fail. We are working on a code patch to deal with this issue, and hope to have it resolved shortly. -- James E. Stark B.Sc. (Eng.) Systems Analyst School of Computer Science University of Guelph
