Message from Leadership

Industry certifications are a solid addition to your LinkedIn profile and resume. In the upcoming  Thursday Bytes, we will discuss the new undergraduate certificates offered by STC . Our faculty also encourages technology students to obtain industry sponsored certifications. Businesses want to see a combination of academic achievements and industry recognized certifications. 

CityU is now a member of the CompTIA’s Academy Partner ProgramThis means you can purchase any CompTia certificate at a discounted price.   Just visit the CompTIA Academic Store at https://academic-store.comptia.org/ , follow the instructions, and place your order. 

You can purchase any CompTIA certificate vouchers with discounted price because CityU School of Technology and Computing (STC) is part of the CompTIA Academy Partner Program. 

 

This Summer, while piloting the new CS 251, Statistical Computing, Professor Brian Maeng has set up a weekly “Virtual” Office Hour on Fridays at  6 pm via Microsoft Teams. All students in his class have been invited to attend this real-time meeting. If you are considering taking CS 251 and want to attend a Virtual Office Hour, please email Dr. Maeng at maengjooyol@cityu.edu .

We still encourage students to use the TA Center stctacenter@cityu.edu in case you have technical issues, questions about the Hands-On-Practice (HOP), Virtual Labs (VL), or Programming Exercises (PE).
