Hello BCOMP Students, April and I plan to continue providing academic advising through email, phone, and online chat as needed. We also plan to start using Slack.

The best way to reach us to start is by sending an email to cscouns(a)uoguelph.ca As we learn more about the situation we will also be updating https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun… Hope you have a good “surprise reading week”.

by CSCOUNS 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi Everyone, The School of Computer Science plans to offer CIS*2430 this summer as a 6 week course starting in May. The plan is to make lecture content available online so you would not have to attend classes. There will be 3 graded labs which will need to be done in person, likely on evenings or weekends, so you would need to be here for those, plus the final exam. Please complete this one question survey so we know what class size to plan for: https://uoguelph.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b4rDL00K2kBUZmd April Nejedly M.Sc. | Program Counsellor Greg Klotz, Ph.D. | Program Counsellor School of Computer Science | University of Guelph Reynolds 1113/1114 519-824-4120 Ext. 58173, 52711 cscouns(a)uoguelph.ca https://www.uoguelph.ca/computing/undergraduates/undergraduate-program-coun…

Please double check credits if this is your last semester before graduating
by Greg Klotz 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

Hi Everyone, If you plan to graduate at the end of this semester, please double check your credits and requirements. Especially if you completed a COOP work term in S19 or later. Those Co-op credits are incorrectly being included in your credit count, and the only hint you have about the error is a little footnote on the transcript/academic evaluation. For example, if you completed COOP*5000 in S19, the academic evaluation would show it as “INP" with a 0.5 credit weight. It might also show you only need to take 2.0 credits this semester instead of 2.5, because it’s counting the COOP*5000 as a real course. We have asked for a fix, the best for now was the footnote explanation, I agree it’s not great. It would be even worse if someone had to delay graduation because of it. April and I are happy to do early grad checks, just ask. In person or email both work. Please include your student number if it’s by email. We even have a new email address you can try: cscouns(a)uoguelph.ca Sincerely, April and Greg

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
