Important Information for Graduate Students
- These are policies and procedures for graduate students in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo, the State University of New York. They are based on what we perceive as best for most students.
- This document may be revised. When this happens, a new edition will be issued. The edition for the academic year in which you were admitted is the one that governs your entire graduate career, unless you choose to abide by a later edition (in which case, you must abide by all relevant regulations of that later edition).
- If you need special consideration, you may submit a petition in writing to the Graduate Affairs Committee (GAC) of the department.
- There are several other documents, updated regularly, with which you should be familiar, because they contain University policies and procedures. Among these are the following:
- Graduate School Policies and Procedures: A Manual for Graduate Students and Advisors, Office of the Graduate School, 402 Capen Hall
- Records and Registration Procedures Handbook for Students Office of Records and Registration, 232 Capen Hall
- All graduate students are members of the CSEGSA: Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Student Association. The generic mail alias for the CSEGSA officers is csegsa@cse.buffalo.edu. You should read the sunyab.cse.grads newsgroup on a regular basis and participate actively in this organization.
Colloquium Series
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering sponsors a colloquium series each semester. The speakers include well-known researchers invited from other universities and research centers, as well as UB faculty.
Attendance at departmental colloquia is a privilege of all members of the Department. You can learn a great deal about current research in a wide variety of areas of computer science by attending these talks, especially if the topic is one that is not taught here at UB. And you will have an opportunity to meet computer scientists from around the world.
