Congratulations on your decision to join CS@CU. We have created this website to help you prepare for your arrival.
Orientation Information
The New Graduate Student Orientation is scheduled for September 2, 2009. I will send you more information about the orientation in July.
UNI
If you have sent your response form to the Office of Graduate Student Services, you should be able to activate your UNI (University Network ID).
You can find more information about UNI here.
MICE
MICE is a web-based database system for departmental records of various sorts. We have created your MICE account, and your password has been sent to your Columbia email account. Please try to login to MICE using your UNI (first part of your Columbia email address. e.g. rm2281).Please check our MICE User Manual for instructions.
Student Services Online
Student Services Online is also known as SSOL. You will use SSOL to register for classes, request transcript, and view your billing information.
Advisor Information
Each track has an advisor or advisors. An advisor is assigned to you after you select your track, so please select your track by August 14, 2009. This will allow us to assign advisors in the timely fashion.
Masters Program Requirements
It is important for you to read through the program requirements. Please visit our FAQ page for the policies and requirements.
Importing courses taken at your previous institution
You will see instructions in the MICE User Manual, but please do not take actions yet as I need to go over the requirements at the orientation.
Applying for a TA position
If you are interested in applying for a TA gradership position, please visit the TA homepage for more information.
Peer Advisors
We have current students who are peer advisors. If you have any questions about life in New York, about the CS Department, and about Columbia, the following peer advisors will try to answer your questions as much as they can. They are not authorized to advise you on what courses to take, so please discuss specific course-selection questions with your track advisors, not with the peer advisors.
