Daily Virtual Office Hours

• In-person advising is suspended, but you can reach us at csadvisor@cs.uwaterloo.ca. If you have a more complicated case that requires a conversation, then you can still meet with us virtually during our office hours.
• To meet with an advisor for the virtual office hours, you need access to a working webcam, microphone, a reliable internet connection, and that you are in a quiet location.  
• Daily virtual office hours are from 2:00 PM-3:30 PM. There are additional office hours from 9:30 AM-11:00 AM in the first weeks of classes only. 
• Virtual Office Hours Instructions:
  1. To get in line to see a CS Advisor virtually, go to https://oat.uwaterloo.ca/q/cs and log in to get a "ticket" for your place in line.

  2. Before office hours has begun, you can log in MS Teams using a browser (https://teams.microsoft.com/) or by downloading the mobile or desktop app (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software). If using a browser, you may want to use Chrome as Safari might have audio issues.

  3. Log into MS teams using your userid@uwaterloo.ca (not your friendly address of firstname.lastname@uwaterloo.ca). After this, you should be taken to UW’s authentication site.
  4. Log in using your UW credential. The site will then take you to MS Teams.
  5. We will give you a call when it’s your turn.
• If you aren't a UW student, then please leave your email so that we may contact you.
