Expanding Horizons Workshops 2011-12
All workshops will be in Career Services room 325A (3rd Floor Gordon Hall) from 4pm - 5.30pm, unless advised differently.
Registration (Moodle) – Graduate students need to register once for access to the Moodle system using their Queen’s Net-ID and password. Once in the system, students select the SGS Expanding Horizons “course” (listed under Graduate Studies in course categories, sub-category Exp.H, then when in to the outline, click the SGS Expanding Horizons title on the left to log in) and register for a specific workshop or several. You will only be able to register for workshops available in the current term. Students may add to or cancel their registration for a particular workshop at any time. There is no cost, but registration is required in order to track participation, as well as to determine eligibility should you wish to go for the certificate in professional development. If you need to cancel, please do so early, so that others can sign up. In many workshops, numbers are restricted to the size of the classroom.
Expanding Horizons MOODLE URL address is: https://moodle.queensu.ca/course/view.php?id=1605
For workshops hosted by MITACS, you will need to register directly with MITACS. Each workshop has a different registration url so take care as to which you enrol in. Please use your Queen's email address or we won't be able to track you properly. MITACS will provide us the names of those who participated, so we can manually add you to our system.
