NINJa

2014-04-20T18:09:59Z

Cakemaster:

'''NINJa''' refers to the [[CUIT]]-developed printing system that powers approximately 100 printers throughout the Morningside Heights campus. The precursor to NINJa was called JAKE. No one has any idea why it was called that, and everyone at AcIS agreed that it didn't sound very bad ass at all. Therefore, the new name: "Ninja Is Not Jake." Seriously. Some of the graduate schools opt out of NINJa and provide their own system.

NINJa is one of the unsung gems of the CUIT world, with generous quotas and generally decent, if imperfect, reliability.

Undergraduate students get 100 pages per week of free black and white printing on NINJa, plus an extra 100 per semester.

== How to print to NINJa ==

You can print to NINJa from any CUIT campus computer. Specific NINJa printers can be added to your personal computer and printed to directly from anywhere in the world. The CUIT website has very detailed instructions and pictures [http://www.columbia.edu/acis/facilities/printers/ninja.html/ here].

You can save time and use [https://github.com/adicu/ninja-unix ninja-unix] made by [[ADI]] to add all the printers on campus to your computer. Follow the instructions on [http://bwog.com/2013/11/11/how-to-print-without-printcu/ Bwog]

In addition the handy website [[Print@CU]], develoepd by [[Sam Aarons]] allows users to upload PDFs and other documents for easy printing. Once you've printed you must walk to the printer and authenticate with your UNI and password to retrieve the print job.

== Tips ==

* If you hit Alt + Ctrl + Backspace on the printer immediately after your printing job is done, then the terminal shuts off before the printed pages are deducted from your quota. This can be helpful if you're printing a really long document or if you're running low on print quota. '''As of April 12, 2013, it was reported that CUIT blocked this feature.'''

Print@CU

2014-04-20T18:04:03Z

Cakemaster:

[https://www.printatcu.com/ '''Print@CU'''] is a stupidly easy web interface for using Columbia [[printers]]. It was created by [[Sam Aarons]] in November 2011 after a mere 16 hours of work [http://bwog.com/2011/11/30/printingcolumbia-minus-the-pain/ ]. It has since added Dropbox integration, printer status displays and print from url capability.

To use the site, upload your document into Print@CU. The site sends your file to a Columbia printer, at which point you enter your [[UNI]] at the [[NINJa]] terminal to print normally.

Note that trying to print images can be spotty.

In fall of [[2013]], [[Spec]] bought it<ref>http://columbialion.com/blog/breaking-columbia-spectator-buys-printcu/</ref> and added advertisements.

== Your document is printing as: ==
Since Print@CU doesn't ask for UNIs, it submits documents from a list of false names. It is rumored to select the name Malkovich when parts of the system are experiencing errors, leading to entire printers being consumed by the name. This list changes without notice and has included:
*Forbes Celebrity 100
*LOST Cast Members
*Time 100
*Famous American authors
*People who've EGOT-ed
*Muppets
*North Korean leaders
*Pokemon
* Game of Thrones characters
* Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis Characters

== How to use Print@CU ==
#Go to: https://printatcu.com/
#In the first pull-down menu, select the building location where you would like to print.
#In the second pull-down menu, select a specific printer in the above building. Printer numbers correspond to the building floor numbers (i.e. 303 is on the third floor). Note: Green squares next to the printer indicate that the printer is functioning normally, while you should avoid printing on a yellow or red printer that is experiencing a paper jam or is otherwise offline.
#Press the "Choose Files" button and upload your chosen document(s). Note: You are not able to print .jpg files.
#Select whether or not you would like your files to be collated, double-sided, and enter your desired number of copies.
#Press print.
#Note the pseudonym assigned to your job by Print@CU. Your pseudonym will be a fictional or historical name like Hilary Clinton or Johnny Appleseed.
#Go to your chosen printer, and locate your job in the queue. It will be one of entries furthest down the list.
#Select your entry, delete the pseudonym in the name space, and input your UNI and password.
#Press print.

Protip: visit the [http://www.columbia.edu/acis/facilities/printers/ninja_status.html|CUIT Printer Status Page] to check whether your printer is out of service. Note that the color code on this page does not indicate whether a printer is ready! Also note that this page may not track printer jams.

Course registration

2014-04-20T17:13:11Z

Cakemaster:

{{prefrosh}}

'''Course registration''' is the process of signing up for courses to take the following semester.

== Advice ==
In selecting your courses, the following websites are particularly useful:
* [[Bulletin]] - list of all classes offered by Columbia
* [[Directory of Classes]] - details for the courses you found in the bulletin, including time, place, professor, seats available, any cap on seats, etc. (the information in the bulletin usually lags a few days)
* [[ADI Courses]] - interactive schedule builder that helps you create a shareable and customizable schedule
* [[CULPA]] - for professor reviews (the best professors are highlighted as "gold")
* [[WikiCU]] - the following pages may help:
:* [[:Category:Faculty awards|Faculty award winners]]
:* [[:Category:Faculty|Faculty biographies]]
:* [[:Category:Majors|Articles on specific majors]]
:* [[:Category:Courses|Articles on specific courses]]

You should also remember to take into account:
* your school's requirements, for example:
:* [http://www.college.columbia.edu/bulletin/requirements.php Columbia College requirements]
:* [http://engineering.columbia.edu/files/engineering/EngineeringMajorsPamphlet.pdf Engineering requirements]
* your major's requirements

Further tips:
* Keep in mind that when you actually register for classes, some of the courses you have selected may be full. Leave some room for flexibility in your schedule so that you can easily select another class section if your top choice is full.

== How to actually register ==
Students can register for courses via the following options:
* online via [[SSOL]]
* by phone using a pin code found on SSOL (not sure if this is still a valid method?)
* via the fire-breathing [[Registrar]].
You can use [[SSOL]] to determine the date & time of your registration appointment.
