Daily Virtual Office Hours - 2 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. 

• 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. Be sure to have your WatCard ready and for us to see you on the video call. 
• 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. You'll get a "ticket" for your place in line.

  2. Before office hours has begun (M-F; 2-3:30PM), go to https://www.skype.com/en/ and log in either by downloading Skype ahead of time or using your browser (you may need to make an account with Skype if you haven’t already).

  3. Search for UW CS Advisors to find us.

  4. When it is your turn in the advising queue (e.g., the queue on OAT should say “it is your turn now”), then please video call us then.

*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 go into the queue and reach us via Skype (see instructions above).
