Some of these are opportunities provided by McMaster University, but others are offered externally. Below is a collection of these packages and how to access them.\n\n== Internal Software ==\n\n=== Microsoft Office 365 ===\nMcMaster provides a site-wide license to Microsoft's suite of office tools like Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Instructions for activating this license can be found [http://mcmaster.ca/uts/licensing/msstudents.html here].\n\nGenerally, just follow this link: https://portal.office.com/. To sign in, use your student id attached to ''@ads.mcmaster.ca''.\n\n=== LabVIEW ===\nLabVIEW is a visual programming language, specializing in systems engineering and available for Mac or PC. McMaster has access to a site-wide license paid for by the engineering department [https://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/software_downloads/pickup.html#labview]. You can get access to LabVIEW by picking up the installation disk from UTS (University Technology Services) in BSB-245.\n\nAlong with the install disks you will find a serial code to activate the software. If you create an account on [http://www.ni.com/en-ca.html National Instruments], you can actually register this serial code under your account, giving you access to the latest software downloads for both Mac and PC.\n\n== External Software ==\n\n=== Github Student Developer Pack ===\nhttps://education.github.com/pack\n\nGithub is a development and version control platform. Registering a student account will give you a free subscription to Github. This gives you access to creating free repositories for your code.\n\nThe ''student pack'' also gives you access to numerous deals for other software, like a 50$ credit for [https://www.digitalocean.com/ DigitalOcean] (a cloud server service that you could use to host a website. Pricing starts at 5$/month).\n\nIt is also possible to get a free subscription to an ''organization'' account. For instance, if you have a Github organization for your Lab and want the repositories under it to be private, you can do so for free this way.\n\n=== Jetbrains Software ===\nhttps://www.jetbrains.com/student/\n\nJetbrains provides a suite of IDE's for many different programming languages including Python, Ruby, SQL databases and more.\n\n=== Autodesk ===\nhttps://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/featured"

This is important so that your committee can provide guidance prior to the first [[Progress Reports | Progress Report]] deadline on May 15th. \n* [https://gs.mcmaster.ca/app/uploads/2019/10/graduate_work_supervision_guidelines_1.pdf Graduate Work Supervision Guidelines for Faculty and Students]  (SGS Guidelines) \n* [https://gs.mcmaster.ca/app/uploads/2020/02/Getting-Supervisory-Relationship-Off-to-Good-Start-updated-May-2022.pdf Getting the supervisory relationship off to a good start (2022 SGS template)]\n* [[PNB Supervisory Committee Guidelines]]  (additional PNB Guidelines)\n* [https://gs.mcmaster.ca/current-students/resources/graduate-supervision/ Graduate Supervision]\n\nOnce your supervisory committee is formed, please complete the Plan of Study form to record the composition of your committee.  Also be sure to talk to the Graduate Program Assistant (Anju Dalal) to tell her the members of your committee. This is very important because committee membership must be entered into the McMaster School of Graduate Studies system. \n* Note that the [[Supervisory Committee#Plan of Study | Plan of Study]] form serves multiple purposes; submitting committee membership is just one. \n* [https://goo.gl/forms/sx4nksvAMJ5OXEbD2 Plan of Study form]\n\nOccasionally, for reasons of providing expertise in a specific area to your supervisory committee, a committee member might be someone from a different university, or someone who does not normally serve on supervisory committees. The School of Graduate Studies has an application form for these experts:\n* [https://macdrive.mcmaster.ca/f/4eca41d1f4fb4003b715/?dl=1/ Application For Membership in a Graduate Supervisory Committee]\n\n=== Supervisory Committee Meetings ===\nPlease note that there are two different annual reports: Supervisory Committee Meeting Reports (described here), and [[Progress Reports]] (due May 15th annually).\n\nYour first supervisory committee meeting should occur before end of April of your first year.  Subsequent to the first year, every student must hold a supervisory committee meeting once every academic year (e.g., September to August), ''at minimum'' (many committees meet more often). These reports must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies before the end of November every year.   \n\n* [https://academiccalendars.romcmaster.ca/content.php?catoid=48&navoid=9524#1.2.4_The_Supervisory_Committee Relevant section in the 2023-2024 Graduate Calendar: 1.2.4 Supervision].\n\nEach meeting is documented via the Supervisory Committee Meeting Report (form). There are now two different procedures for masters and doctoral level students. \n\n'''Doctoral students:'''  '''''<span style=\"color:#ff0000\">NEW!</span>''''' To initiate your committee meeting, [mailto:pnbgrad@mcmaster.ca send an email to Anju Dalal] PRIOR to the date of the meeting. Anju will initiate your meeting online using graduate administrative tools.  After Anju initiates the meeting you will receive an email with a link so that you can complete your portion of the form. This has the same sections you are used to seeing on the paper form.  After you submit this information your supervisory committee members will each receive an email asking them to complete their portion of the form, which they will do following the committee meeting. The online system lets you check the status of responses. Once all the responses have been received you will have the opportunity to read the feedback.  \n\n:* NEW March 2020 \u2013 [https://gs.mcmaster.ca/app/uploads/2020/03/supervisory_committee_report_no_grading.docx Non-Graded PhD Supervisory Committee Meeting Report]. This version of the PhD Supervisory Committee Meeting form may be used by some PhD students returning from a Leave of Absence who wish to have a record of a meeting with their supervisory committee without formal ratings by the committee. This form/meeting does not replace the annual meeting, but can be used to help establish goals which could then be reflected upon in the annual Supervisory Committee Report. This form/meeting is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged to help students feel supported.\n\n'''Masters students:'''  The committee meeting report for masters students has not changed. Complete all the relevant student sections and bring ONE copy of the form to your committee meeting. Your supervisor, in consultation with the other members of your committee, will complete the remaining sections. The completed and signed form is then submitted to Anju Dalal.  You can find the form here:\n::* [https://gs.mcmaster.ca/app/uploads/2020/02/masters_supervisory_report_february_2018.pdf Supervisory Committee Meeting Form for masters students]\n\n===<span style=\"color:#ff0000\">COVID-related delays: reporting for supervisory committee meetings</span>===\nThe School of Graduate Studies has shared modified Master's and PhD supervisory meeting forms to allow students and supervisory committees to describe the impact of COVID on the student's thesis work, where needed.\n\n'''PhD non-grading supervisory form:'''  This is a paper form meant to be used for a \"special\" committee meeting to discuss COVID-related delays.  It is not graded, but will be included in the student's record in SGS. It is a paper copy (the process will not involve the email system used for regular graded committee meetings for PhD students, although SGS might incorporate it into the email system at some point). It is fine to incorporate this \"special\" COVID-delay meeting within the regular supervisory meeting - in which case committees will complete both the paper non-grading form and the series of electronic forms that are triggered by emails.\n::* The paper form can be submitted to SGS by sending it to Anju Dalal.\n::* [https://gs.mcmaster.ca/app/uploads/2020/03/supervisory_committee_report_no_grading_COVID.pdf PhD Supervisory Committee Report COVID - no grading]\n\n=== Plan of Study ===\nThe PNB Plan of Study:\n* records the composition of your Supervisory Committee (to be done by end of first term of first year), and\n* provides a structure to plan required [[Course Requirements | courses, modules]], and the [[Comprehensive Exam]]. The plan should be worked out in consultation with your supervisory committee, and approved by your committee and the graduate chair.  \n\nWe suggest that you start the conversation about your Plan of Study at your first committee meeting; you won't likely know all the courses you want to take yet, but you can start thinking about options with your committee. It is useful to review your Plan of Study at each supervisory committee meeting.  \n\n:* Each time you update your Plan of Study you can enter the changes online:\n:* [https://goo.gl/forms/sx4nksvAMJ5OXEbD2 Plan of Study form]\n\nThe online Plan of Study will ask you for:\n* The composition of your [[Supervisory Committee#Forming your Supervisory Committee | supervisory committee]].\n* Specific plans to fulfill the required [[Course Requirements | courses, modules]] and the [[Comprehensive Exam]]. \n\nThe advanced statistics courses, independent study modules, comprehensive exam topic(s), and additional half course should be chosen with the aim of achieving a reasonable balance between breadth of knowledge across the relevant discipline and depth of knowledge within the student's sub-discipline of specialization. See [[Course Requirements]].\n\n=== [[Progress Reports]] ===\nThis link will take you to a detailed description of Progress Reports, which are due every year on May 15th."
