 +==== Information for newbies ====
 +
 +We are continually developing and updating this section with information for new GSGS members ("newbies"). As soon as someone registers as a GSGS member through the form "Application for Admission as Doctoral Student", they will get personal access to this section and some other sections of the GSGS wiki.\\ 
 +After submitting your supervision agreement, you will gain full access.\\
 +
 +====GSGS Statutes / Regulations====
 +Now you have become a member, why not have a look at the GSGS Statutes? The official, German version 'Ordnung' is available [[https://geosciences.uni-koeln.de/sites/geosciences/GSGS-Downloads/OfficialDocs/AM_2021-10_Ordnung_GSGS-Geowiss.pdf|here]].\\
 +An inofficial translation into English is available {{ :start:gsgs_regulations_informal_translation_2021-05.pdf |here}}.\\
 +
 +==== GSGS Consultation Hour (Sprechstunde) ====
 +**The regular GSGS Consultation Hour is on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 12 o'clock noon.**\\ Short-term changes are advertised on the [[https://geosciences.uni-koeln.de/gsgs|GSGS Notice Board]].\\ 
 +\\
 +After you log in via the following Zoom link you will enter the vitual waiting room. Please wait there until you are let in to the main virtual room. In principle, 5-10 minutes are available per person (depending on the number of people waiting and the nature of your query).\\

 +==== Mailing Lists ====
 +
 +The following mailings lists are available (all ending in @uni-koeln.de):
 +
 +  * **gsgs-students** is a __newsletter__ list for (potential) doctoral candidate members of the GSGS (members receive mails but cannot send mails to the list themselves);
 +  * **gsgs-profs** is a __newsletter__ list for advisors and (potential) TAC members in the Department of Geosciences;
 +  * **gsgs-tac** is a __newsletter__ list for TAC members from outside our Department.
 +
 +New members are normally put on one of the above lists by the GSGS Office (after their consent).
 +
 +You can sign up yourself for:
 +
 +  * **[[https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/gsgs-social|gsgs-social]]**: a __discussion list__ for doctoral candidates of the GSGS to share and receive announcements of social events, including those organised by the GSGS Doctoral Council;
 +  * **[[https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/gsgs-careers|gsgs-careers]]**: a __discussion list__ for doctoral candidate members. The GSGS Office sends information about job fairs, job announcements and most career-related training events to this list (rather than to "gsgs-students"). Via this list you can receive and share career opportunities to GSGS members. Feel free to share any opportunities you feel might be interesting to other GSGS members;
 +  * **[[https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/gsgs-alumni|gsgs-alumni]]**: a __newsletter__ for alumni of the GSGS (1-2 times per year);

 +  * Messages to **gradschool-geosci** go to both [[https://geosciences.uni-koeln.de/gsgs/about/contact-team|Hannah and Karin]];
 +  * Through **gsgs-admin** you primarily reach our [[https://geosciences.uni-koeln.de/gsgs/about/contact-team|student assistant]];
