The Guelph O-Week boxes

Are keepsake boxes filled with items to help first-year students feel part of the Gryphon family and to set them up for success. 

Students  have been  invited by email to sign up for a time to pick up their boxes at tents on campus on Tuesday, Sept. 8. until 4pm in the parking lot between Mountain and Prairie (p8).  The Orientation Team will send out another email about those days at the end of the week.

 International students do also receive one! They have received an email about two weeks ago... maybe longer. Asking them to give us their mailing address. If they can't find the email, no worries - we'll also email at the end of the week a reminder

If you have further questions about the O-week boxes, please email: orientation@uoguelph.ca

Academic Advising Help

We are working remotely as per the UofG COVID-19 guidelines.  You can contact us by email at cscouns@uoguelph.ca (Computer Science Counselling) or through Microsoft Teams (search by our personal email addresses: April anejedly or Greg gklotz ). Please use your @uoguelph.ca account for either option, and include your student number in the initial message.

The best approach for asking questions is:

1. If it's a one sentence quick question and our status on Teams is available/green, ask there through Teams text messaging. Otherwise email  cscouns@uoguelph.ca .
2. If it's a paragraph with a couple of questions, email us:  cscouns@uoguelph.ca .
3. If it's more involved, call on Teams if our status is available/green (just like a phone call), otherwise email asking for a meeting. Give a brief description of how we can help and when you're available.
