Established in November of 1997 by Dr. Richard T. Cheng, current President of ECI Systems & Engineering, and former Chair of Computer Science at RIT from 1973-1976. Applicants must be majoring in Computer Science, be in at least their second year of study, demonstrate academic achievement (at least a 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.2 GPA in Computer Science Courses), and financial need. Undergraduate students only.
Established in 1999 by Ken and Margaret Reek, both alumni of RIT's Computer Science Program and former faculty members in the Computer Science Department. The scholarship was established to assist students who might not otherwise be able to attend RIT. Applicants must be majoring in Computer Science, demonstrate academic achievement (at least a 3.0 overall GPA and 3.2 GPA in Computer Science courses), and financial need. Undergraduate students only.
Established in 2008 in memory of Carl Reynolds who was a member of the faculty of RIT's Computer Science Department from the fall of 2004 until his death in the spring of 2008. Applicants must be majoring in Computer Science and in their first year of study. The award recognizes a student who demonstrates academic achievement (at least a 3.0 GPA overall and a 3.2 GPA in Computer Science Courses) and who combines academic accomplishments with a willingness to help and mentor fellow students. Undergraduate students only.
The outstanding first year student scholarship recognizes a first year Computer Science major who maintains high academic standards while also contributing positively to the culture within the Department. The award is given annually to an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science in their first year who has earned an overall GPA 3.5 or better.
The outstanding graduate student award recognizes a Computer Science graduate student for maintaining high academic standards (at least a 3.5 overall GPA) and for making significant contributions to the Department and the Computer Science Graduate Program.
The outstanding fifth year year student award recognizes a fifth year Computer Science student for maintaining high academic standards during his or her studies at RIT and has made significant contributions to the department. The award is given annually to a student who has maintained a 3.0 GPA or better average during their five years of study.
The Alumni Scholarship recognizes one undergraduate and one graduate Computer Science student for maintaining high academic standards (at least a 3.5 overall GPA) during their studies at RIT and who have made significant contributions to the Department. The award is made possible by generous donations from Computer Science alumni.
quota -v' command to report your disk utilization and your quota allocation.findhog script to find the biggest files in your account. Simply run findhog to find the top 20 files, or 'findhog x' to locate the largest x files.rm-junk that goes through your home directory and looks for caches and core files and asks you if you want to remove them. Just type "y" at the prompt and it will delete them for you.~/.mozilla' directory and a
'~/.netscape' directory. If you have both, follow these directions:Compiled code is also a space consumer. So long as you have the source code, binary files may be deleted. Code from past classes should be compressed to reduce disk utilization.
- Move into your '
~/.mozilla' directory, and get a listing of the contents.- If there are several files of the form
{username}-xxxwhere 'xxx' is an incrementing number, you'll need to remove everything in your '~/.mozillaand '~/.netscape' directories. This is done by:
- Exit from Mozilla and Netscape
cd ~{enter}rm -rf ~/.mozilla{enter}rm -rf ~/.netscape{enter}- Check your quota again. At this point, you're likely way under quota.
- Next time you start mozilla or netscape, these files will be rebuilt.
/usr/local/pub/scripts/fixdotfiles' (Note: You'll likely need to use the full path if you've messed with these files too much).There are a million ways to modify these files to customize them more to your liking. This also means there are a million ways to destroy them. We cannot and will not debug your script files to fix them. As the changing shell FAQ states:What is my default shell? Can I change this?
Changes to these files is done at your own risk. If you come to us for help with these files, it is very likely we will forcibly restore them to their default values.Some scripts that could easily be referenced in these files should not be. Scripts that are interactive (the Oracle configuration script, for example) will prevent console login to all CS lab machines.
"Academic Dishonesty falls into three basic areas: cheating, duplicate submission, and plagiarism [emphasis added]."Further, RIT’s Academic Honesty Policy states the following:
"Cheating is any form of fradulent or deceptive academic act, including falsifying of data, possessing, providing, or using unapproved material, sources, or tools for a work submitted for faculty evaluation."Note that RIT's policy specifies "providing"; A supplier of material, provided in any format through any medium, is also guilty of academic dishonesty.
Stronger penalties may be exacted in cases (1) or (2) above if, in the judgment of the instructor, the offense involves a flagrant violation of policy. Furthermore, both undergraduate and graduate students may incur additional, non-academic penalties:
- For a first offense the student involved will receive, at a minimum, a grade of zero for the assigned work.
- For a second offense, in the same or a different course, the student will receive, at a minimum, a failing grade for that course.
- For a third offense, a student will be suspended and their case will be referred to judicial affairs.
According to section D5.0 (Grades) of the RIT Institute Policies and Procedures Manual,
- Graduate students in cases (1) or (2) above will lose department scholarships, although the graduate program coordinator, at his or her discretion, may choose to override this penalty.
- The undergraduate program coordinator, at his or her discretion, may choose to impose academic actions in cases (1) or (2) above for undergraduate Computer Science majors.
“A student may not withdraw from a course … to avoid charges of academic dishonesty.”For each student involved in an incident of dishonest academic behavior, the course instructor will file an academic dishonesty report detailing the incident. If the student is a Computer Science major, a copy of the report will be placed in the student’s departmental file; otherwise, a copy of the report will be forwarded to the student’s department chair or program coordinator.

The purpose of the Computer Science Community (CSC) is to serve as a community for learning, support, friendship, social activity, and mentorship for Computer Science students. To receive information about upcoming CSC events, students are encouraged to join the mailing list by sending a blank email to ritcsc-events-subscribe@cs.rit.edu. |
For graduate Students there is Gradlife Student Council
The CS Student Center is open from 8am until midnight every day. Students are free to use the equipment in the center whenever it is open.
Teaching Assistants and Student Lab Instructors hold office hours in the Student Center. The schedule may be found here.
