Questions about the tutorial material or the marking of assignments

 You can see your tutorial instructor for these types of questions.

Having trouble understanding some concepts in the course, need help figuring out part of an assignment

There are tutors that work in the Continuous Tutorial (CT for short) that you can go to for more help. Use the entrance to the computer lab on the first floor of Math Sciences that's near the triple elevators (towards Earth Sciences rather than the entrance closer to the Science Theatres) and you should see several signs just inside the entrance for each of the Continuous Tutorials.

 

Having system problems on UNIX

This is the place to go for example, if your computer is "locked-up" and it no longer accepts any input (nothing appears to happen when you use the mouse or keyboard) or if you forgot your password and need to be issued a new one.  The "help desk" is located on the first floor of Math Sciences in MS151.

 

Questions about the administrative aspects of the Computer Science program

 If you have questions about the administrative aspects of Computer Science such as what courses that you should take for different Computer Science concentrations or if want to know if courses from another post-secondary institution will transfer over to the U of C, then the main Computer Science office, located in ICT602 is probably where you should begin your inquiries.
