(Important: Students must apply for OGS at the institution where they are/or plan to be registered in a master’s or doctoral program in 2021-22. The OGS is not transferrable; it must be held at the institution at which it was awarded.) Please refer to our website <https://www.uoguelph.ca/graduatestudies/current/funding/scholarships/gov-fu…> for complete details on eligibility and how to apply to the OGS at Guelph. Deadline to Apply: February 1, 2021 Value: $15,000 total for one year ($5,000/semester for three semesters) If you have any questions about the OGS, please contact the Graduate Program Assistant in your department (gradassist(a)socs.uoguelph.ca <mailto:gradassist@socs.uoguelph.ca>), or send an email to the Graduate Awards Officers (grschol(a)uoguelph.ca <mailto:grschol@uoguelph.ca>)

W21 CIS Course Selection
by cscouns 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hello Computing Students, The first day of course selection has started. Depending on your semester level, you will all be adding courses over the next week or two. If you are unable to add a required CIS course when your course selection day starts we need to hear about that right away. Do not wait days or weeks for spots to open. For CIS electives feel free to check in but we might not be able to help so add something else while you wait for a response. For example, 4th year CIS electives will probably be full with 4th year students before 3rd and 2nd year students can add (even if you have the pre-requisites). Course selection windows: https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/courseselectionwindow Sincerely, Greg --- April Nejedly M.Sc. | Program Counsellor Greg Klotz, Ph.D. | Program Counsellor School of Computer Science | University of Guelph https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… The information in this message is intended solely for the addressee(s).

Winter 2021 UTA Positions Posted
by Joshua Lange 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hello BCOMP Students, Winter 2021 Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) positions have been posted. If you are considering being a teaching assistant, please prepare a résumé and head to https://www.uoguelph.ca/sessional_ta/teaching-assistant. Application Material If this will be your first time applying to be a teaching assistant, you will have to set up your profile information, which will auto-populate some of the fields in your application material. After that, you can apply to be a UTA for any course listed as a UTA work assignment. Clicking on the Posting ID (far-left column in the table located on the page linked above) will provide you with the full description of the job, as well as any requirements we are looking for in potential candidates for the position. Although we are only posting to hire for one position per course, we might need more than one person for each course, depending on enrolment rates. Below is a tentative listing of all of the UTA positions that we will likely be hiring for: * CIS*1050*DE (Introduction to Web Development) * CIS*1200*DE (Introduction to Computer Applications) * CIS*1500 (Introduction to Programming) * CIS*2170 (User Interface Design) * CIS*2250 (Software Design II) * CIS*2500 (Intermediate Programming) * CIS*2750 (Software Systems Development and Integration) * CIS*2910 (Discrete Structures in Computing II) Note that, since WebAdvisor has not allowed course selection yet, you will be unable to meet the criteria for being enrolled as a student in the Winter 2021 semester; however, we will still accept your application on the premise and expectation that you will be enrolled as a student in Winter 2021 at the time of hiring (late-November/early December). When applying, please remember to include the following information: * The application material (as noted in the postings at the link above) * Attach a PDF document that is a combination of both your resume, as well as your unofficial transcript (used to ensure that you have the required course prerequisites). * These two pieces of information, alongside the application material, will collectively be used by the Hiring Committee to assess your qualifications (academic and professional), competence, capability, skill and ability, and prior relevant experience, as per the Collective Agreement. * If you are applying for a position and have taken relevant courses outside of the University of Guelph or have been employed at a job related to the topics covered in the course, remember to include this in your application along with a short description of the course or job. * Due to the nature of the expected online environment moving into the Winter 2021 semester, we are requesting that you include your anticipated time zone in your application as well. This allows us to better facilitate interactions between instructors, students, and teaching assistants. There is an anticipation that you will be available during a specified time period, as noted in the application postings. For any questions regarding the process, please contact Joshua Lange, the Instructional Support Coordinator for SoCS, at jlange(a)uoguelph.ca<mailto:jlange@uoguelph.ca>. Applications close on November 12th, 2020.
