Each of our residence halls accommodates a large population of diverse young individuals, averaging 17 to 19 years old.

Scroll down to Syllabus. Click on course levels under >bachelor=, select courses under the bachelor or masters category. Course Selection B.Com. Courses (Undergraduate) In general, exchange students take four courses per semester. They usually register to level 3000/4000 courses since level 1000/2000 are introductory courses. Therefore, you should take level 1000/2000 courses only if you have not taken this subject at the undergraduate level. For example, a student who has never taken a Marketing course during his undergraduate business degree will register to ADM 2320 Marketing. However, a student who has taken marketing at the undergraduate level, will register to ADM 3321 Consumer Behaviour or ADM 3322 Services Marketing. When selecting courses please verify the prerequisite indicated at the end of each description. For example, if you wish to take ADM 3336 Organization Design (prerequisite ADM 2336 Organizational Behaviour) you can register to this course as long as you have completed an Organizational Behaviour course in your business degree. After carefully selecting your courses, complete the registration form and your timetable. Please send these documents to the Office of External Relations, School of Management, Desmarais Building, room 1100, 55 Laurier Avenue East, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 6N5, Canada, as soon as possible in order that we may reserve places for you. All our courses have limited enrolment. You can send your copy by fax at +1 (613) 562-5167, please, clearly sign the form. We cannot accept course selections by email. Upon your arrival in Ottawa, please contact our office and we will finalize your course selection. MBA Courses (Graduate)

In general, exchange students take four courses in Block 1 and four courses in Block 2 for the Fall semester. In general, exchange students register to level 6000 courses since level 5000 are introductory courses. Therefore, you should take level 5000 courses only if you have not taken this subject at the undergraduate or graduate level. For example, a student who has never taken a marketing course during his undergraduate business degree will register to ADM 5220 Strategic Marketing Context and 5221 Strategic Marketing Management. However, a student who has taken marketing at the undergraduate level, will register to ADM 6225 High Technology Marketing and ADM 6226 New Product Development. When selecting courses, please verify the prerequisite indicated at the end of each description. For example, if you wish to take ADM 6226, you must register to ADM 6225 in the previous block. If the prerequisite is a 5000 level course such as ADM 5220/5221, you can register to this course as long as you have taken that subject (marketing) in your business degree. Students from the Graduate Management Schools in France who are completing the MBA diploma program must take 5 to 6 courses per block from September to August. They must also register to the Management Skills courses. The Management Skills courses are not open to Special MBA students (one semester students). After carefully selecting your courses, complete the registration form and your timetable. Please send these documents to The Office of External Relations, School of Management, Desmarais Building, room 1100, 55 Laurier Avenue East, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 6N5, Canada, as soon as possible in order that we may reserve places for you. All our courses have limited enrolment. You can send your copy by fax at +1 (613) 562-5167, please, clearly sign the form. We cannot accept course selections by email. Upon your arrival in Ottawa, please contact our office and we will finalize your course selection. Withdrawal from a Course You cannot withdraw from a course simply by no longer attending class. You must complete the appropriate form before the drop deadline at the undergraduate or graduate office (see sessional dates http://web1.uottawa.ca/uopr/regist/dates_future_en.asp ). Failure to do so will result in an automatic ABS on your transcript (value equivalent to a failing grade).

6. MEDICAL INSURANCE PLAN B (UHIP)

On June 30th, 1994, the Provincial Ontario Government eliminated Health Care protection for non-Ontario Residents. Therefore, all International Students must purchase the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP), to provide protection compared to that available from the Ontario Government

(OHIP).

All international students must purchase the UHIP in order to register at the University of Ottawa. Payment for UHIP can be done by bank transfer. You must show proof of payment at the International Office, 538 King Edward Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Tel: (613) 562-5820 Fax: (613) 562-5100, http://www.uottawa.ca/international/students/index.html .

Even though you may already have health insurance, you will not be exempted from purchasing the mandatory UHIP. Outside the periods of UHIP insurance coverage, you are ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE for obtaining insurance, for your own protection and that of your dependents. We very strongly advise obtaining a secondary insurance policy to cover the gaps in UHIP coverage (before the 11th day of the month preceding your studies). Example: Arrival in Canada of a newly registered student August 2, 2007 Start of the University session September 5, 2007 Start of UHIP coverage August 11, 2007 For more information on companies that offer temporary insurance please refer to the following website: http://www.uottawa.ca/international/students/uhip.html 7.

The Logon Process After booting, the computer will reach the School=s network and ask for your login name and password. At the School, we automatically create student accounts in the following manner: We take the first letter of your last name and your student number to form your login name. Note that the number must have 7 digits, no more, no less. If your student number is shorter, please add enough zeros in front of it, so that it will be 7 digits long.

Example: Student Paul Archambault was given student number 12345. His login name will then be: A0012345

The network also needs a password to accept you. We automatically build your password with your date of birth. We form a six-digit number (no more, no less) by placing your date of birth in the year, month, day sequence.

Example: A student born on July 1st, 1985, will have the password 850701 Wireless access As a student at the University of Ottawa, you will be eligible to use a wireless connection to the Internet on the premises of the school. You will need to download a VPN client software. These are the steps:

13. ABOUT OTTAWA (http://www.city.ottawa.on.ca/ ) Ottawa is not only the political Capital of Canada but is also the cultural centre of Canada and is the bridge between the French speaking people of Quebec and the English speaking people of the rest of Canada. Ottawa is a clean city that has managed to successfully mix new architecture and maintain old architecture, together with its rivers and canals, to provide its residents and guests one of the most beautiful cities in North America. The city of Ottawa has something for everyone. For those of you who enjoy museums, Ottawa has one of the widest varieties of museums you will ever have a chance to see. For those who enjoy great food and exciting nightlife, Ottawa offers you the Byward Market Area which during the day is a bustling farmers market and in the evening transforms itself into a social gathering spot by offering restaurants for every appetite and night-clubs for every type of music lover. In the winter, Ottawa's Rideau Canal becomes the world's longest ice skating rink and it hosts the exciting Winterlude Festival which boasts outdoor entertainment and fabulous ice sculptures.

The Tulip Festival, May (http://www.capcan.ca )

The Canadian Tulip Festival has grown into the largest Tulip Festival in the world from a gift of thanks given six decades ago. In the fall of 1945, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs.

Must be seen The Gatineau Park (http://www.capcan.ca )

In Gatineau Provincial Park, just minutes from downtown Gatineau, and a mere 20-minute drive from Ottawa, deer, beavers and other typical Canadian wildlife still abound. The 35,000-hectare Provincial park is located in the

Page 45: STUDENT GUIDE FOR - Home - Telfer School of …...WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA, CANADA Office of External Relations School of Management (New address!) Desmarais Building, room

Gatineau Hills - part of the oldest mountain range in the world - and is maintained by the National Capital Commission (NCC). Hundreds of kilometres of trails (some of which are old Indigenous footpaths) wind their way through the park and are excellent travel ways for hikers, cyclists and cross-country ski enthusiasts, depending on the season. Lookouts provide splendid views of the Ottawa Valley, and swimmers and canoeists find the sparkling lakes irresistible. Follow Taché Boulevard West out of Gatineau, then turn north along the scenic Gatineau Parkway. Signs along the route indicate sites of interest. Trail maps are available at the NCC Visitors' Centre, 14 Metcalfe Street (239-5000), or the park's visitor centre at 33 Scott Road in Chelsea, Qc. (827-2020). Hog's Back Falls At the point where the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River separate, Hog's Back Falls rush over rocks that resemble the bristles on a hog's spine. The falls were a troublesome spot for the canal builders, but today the area is a favourite picnic site. Follow Colonel Drive to Hog's Back Bridge, and turn left to find parking on the east side of the river. Rideau Hall (http://www.gg.ca/ ) The official residence of our Governors General since confederation in 1867, Rideau Hall is the symbolic home of all Canadians. Located on Sussex Drive, this gracious 19th Century national treasure is an elegant, inviting residence set on 79 acres of perfect gardens and recreational grounds. The Canadian public is encouraged to tour the grounds, the residence and to take part in special and ongoing activities at Rideau Hall. These include concert series, a garden party and tours, art tours and winter skating parties.

Parliament Hill (http://www.parliamenthill.gc.ca/ ) Legend has it that when Queen Victoria decreed that Ottawa was to become to capital of Canada, she had the current site of Parliament Hill in mind. Originally called Barracks Hill, the stately plateau overlooking the Ottawa River was home to soldiers' barracks. It is in these buildings that the Canadian Prime Minister, the senator, deputies, and MP=s work the political development of the country. The three original buildings (West Block, East Block, and Centre Block) were completed in the mid 1800s. Even if you don't take a tour of the inside of the buildings, there are many things to see and do on the grounds. A visit to Parliament Hill is a must for all Canadians, and is also a great learning experience for visitors to our country. Take the elevator to the top of the Peace Tower and admire the view, learn about Canadian history and the workings of the Canadian political system, and meet other Canadians and people from around the world who enjoy a visit to one of the most famous landmarks in Canada.
