Computer Science Resources

This website contains resources that may be of use to undergraduate students in general, but in particular for students enrolled in courses supported by ISG.

General Resources

• Assignment Cover-pages
• BookLook—Find textbooks required by various courses.
• Class Schedules—A more useable interface to the "Schedule of Classes" published by the Registrar's Office.
• Examination Seating—The seat(s) you are assigned to for tests in your CS course(s). Updated as the term progresses.
• Final Examination Schedule—Released by the Registrar's Office partway through each term.
• Important Dates—Dates of note for all undergraduate students.
• Waterloo LEARN—Course management system used for some courses.
• Policies—Policies that all students need to be aware of.

Account Information

You can request information about your account via the appropriate commands at the Unix command line, or via Odyssey web interface:

• Disk Quota—Check your Math Faculty Student Environment disk quota.
• Email Forwarding—View and update the forwarding of your student.cs email account.
• Printer Quota—Check your available print quota (lpquota) in the student.cs environment.
• XAS Balance—Check your XAS account (how printing is paid for in the math faculty) balance. For students this will usually be more useful than the lpquota feature above.

Odyssey can also be used to transfer files between your local computer and your CS undergraduate account (which can also be done via other tools such as sftp), and for some courses can be used as a web wrapper of the submit command to submit assignments.
