  • Scheduled Change:  Monday, August 23rd 9:00am

    On Monday August 23rd, we will be migrating the conneX service to be a restricted service that will be accessible from on-campus networks only.  After Monday, remote access to conneX from off campus will only be possible through UVic VPN services.  This is part of planned transition to Brightspace for all teaching activities. 


    Access to conneX from on-campus and UVic wireless networks will not be affected by the change.

    • Students then forward the reference number generated by the system to their potential supervisor(s).
    • Students must attach a copy of their current transcript (an unofficial, administrative version verified by the student’s home department is acceptable for UVic students; students from another institution must attach an official version).

    Part II of Form 202: Completed by the supervisor

    • Supervisors must log on to the on-line site with the same password and username they use to apply for their NSERC grant. If they cannot remember their access information, supervisors should contact the NSERC On-line Services Helpdesk at   

    613-995-4273.

    • Enter the reference number for the student with whom they wish to work, and complete all the modules necessary to create a Form 202 Part II for that student.
    • Verify the form using the button on the My Portfolio screen until the report states it is complete.
    • Press the Submit to LO (Liaison Officer) button to make the application available to the Office of Research Services.
    • If the supervisor does not verify the application, the “Submit to LO” button will not appear.
    • If supervisors want to make changes after submitting the application, they need to contact Angela Colpron | Research Finances Liaison | Office of Research Services orsfinliaison@uvic.ca and request the application be released to them.

  • Dear Computer Science students,

    A brief note on the COVID-19 impact on classes, learning, and course-completion.  We all are actively working and discussing ways to find the correct balance between meeting the learning objectives of students, and at the same time maintaining safety.

    From time to time, please ensure you to check the official UVic information on COVID-19 here: https://www.uvic.ca/covid-19/

    The Computer Science Department is discussing alternative ways/arrangements for students to meet their learning objectives in various courses.  Since each course is unique, different methods may be used  by course instructors to make these alternative arrangements possible. For example, we are considering things like (but not limited to): alternative assignments, digital file submissions, online tests or online exams via conneX or coursespaces, or other methods.  Please note: given these unexpected circumstances, in some cases, there may be deviation from the original course outline.  

    You will be hearing from your course instructors (and/or the Department or University), as information is available.

    Yours Truly,

    -Sudhakar Ganti

    Chair, Computer Science
