Notes
New deadlines for qualifying exams and defenses
In 2020, due to the exceptionality of the pandemic, CEPG suspended for the time being the term limts for the completion of Master’s and Ph.D. courses.
Taking into account the Resolução CEPG nº 03 (April 24th 2020), particularly Article 3º, PPGHIS, in its January 2021 meeting, has approved also exceptional criteria, to balance the extension of terms and the CAPES’ requirements regarding the expected time for course conclusion, which are important for the Program’s evaluation.
Therefore, defenses are reccomended to take place before the end of the current term (September), which represents an extension of circa three months compared to the usual deadlines.
Qualifying exams may be more flexible regarding deadlines.
New Coordinator
On May 12, the PPGHIS faculty elected its new coordination. Prof. William de Souza Martins is the new coordinator and Prof. João Ohara is his deputy coordinator. Prof. José Augusto Pádua, Andrea Casa Nova Maia e Marta Mega de Andrade are also assistant coordinators. It will take a bit more to make it official, but they are already running the Program.
Research Seminars
We have received several inquiries from students regarding the “Research Seminars” in their transcripts.
“Research Seminars” represent the development of the dissertation/thesis that in fact occurs throughout the time that the student is affiliated to the master’s / doctorate program. They are used to fulfill the credit requirements and will appear every semester. It is not connected to the disciplines actually requested by the student.
SIGA and Intranet
PPGHIS does not oversee SIGA, Intranet or other UFRJ online systems, but UFRJ does have a helpdesk.
See the Intranet page: https://intranet.ufrj.br/portal/
Unstable website and SIGA
Since the fire at UFRJ’s headquarters, last week, SIGA, TIC and other UFRJ online services are unreliable, including PPGHIS website. We do not know when the situation will be normalized. In the meanwhile, use email (ppghis.ufrj@gmail.com) and keep checking this mirror website (on construction).
Classes
We remind all our students the classes begin on May 4th. The class schedule is already available.
