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.

Please double check your academic credits. If you find you are short on academic credits course selection is open until midnight tomorrow (September 16th). You can even overload yourself on September 16 pending available space in courses, up to 3.25 credits.
