 OUF Volunteers
The 2018 Ontario Universities' Fair is happening September 28-30 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Each year, the Fair welcomes approximately 140,000 high school students and family members, and we rely on faculty, staff, and student volunteers to represent Queen's and the Faculty of Arts and Science. If you have volunteers that would like to participate, please send their details to Kate Clarke by August 10, 2018.

Student Services - Reduced Services
During the registration hiatus
(August 6-17), there will be no access to course enrolment and no academic advising for students.
|
Don't Forget - This Fall, classes start on Thursday, September 6th
We have heard that there is still some confusion about when classes start this year. Last year, a Fall Break Committee made a recommendation to Senate to add a Fall Break in 2018 with the goal of improving student wellness. As a result, the sessional dates were approved with classes starting on Thursday September 6th, 2018. This is the first year that classes will start on the Thursday after Labour Day rather than on the following Monday.
Please help us spread the word.

Grades Memo

here. Note that the deadline for submitting grades for May-July courses is
Monday, August 13, 2018.

Visiting Scholar Program - 2018-2019
A separate fund to be administered by the Faculty Deans has been established to encourage academic visits by women, visible minorities, aboriginal peoples, and people with disabilities. This is not to be confused with the International Visitors Program.
Guidelines for Recommendation can be found
here. The Principal's Office will establish an Advisory Committee to review all applications and make recommendations to the Dean on those proposals deemed worthy of funding. Decisions should be made by early September 2018.
Please forward your application(s) directly to
Diane Reid by August 17, 2018.

Faculty180-ORCID Integration
The Faculty180 team (Queen's IT Services) is pleased to announce that Faculty180 now features an integration with ORCID, the open and independent registry that provides researchers with a persistent digital identifier (ORCID iD) to reliably and clearly connect them with their research contributions and affiliations.
The Faculty180-ORCID integration provides faculty members with another powerful resource to seamlessly load their scholarship into the Faculty180 system, greatly reducing administrative overhead.
Note that to make use of the integration, you must first have an ORCID iD, which you can easily create at orcid.org/register. Once your ORCID record is populated, you can import this data to your Faculty180 profile.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please submit a support request via the ITS Help Form.
