Hi,

Today, I received an email that told me that I need to pay nearly 7000cad more for my tuition. I am an international student at UA and this is my last year. Normally, my tuition should be charged based on the semester.

I got 60transfer credits from my previous university and the advisor told me that I can delete them if i exceed the maximum number. So I took 66credits for 2 years(4 semesters), and they helped me delete them this semester, so i had 54 transfer credits and 66 credits that I took at UA. The tuition should be charged based on 4 semesters. But they said i took the courses out of my degree requirement.

I asked the advisor in the Student Help Center, they checked my account and told me that they also do not know the reason, and they helped me send an email to the registrar's office, which will reply to me in a few days. i want to know if everyone has encountered such a situation, and if it is possible to argue with such a decision.

How’d it go for everyone?

how'd it go for those who wrote it

How do you feel about the midterm?

I guess it was pretty easy, but I stupidly did some stupid mistakes(

hey everyone!! 💚 I’m starting a Celiac Club at UAlberta and need a few more signatures on our membership petition to get it officially approved!

If you’re interested in joining or supporting the club, please sign here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A48jYpmYQxIzMPQ0OU3zuLL6tM3BSYUp/edit

I’m also looking for students interested in joining our exec team! You don’t have to have celiac or gf to support us. Please share with anyone who might be interested, thank you!! 🫶

To the person who lost their Car Key in the chem building. I brought them to the cameron library front desk.

Thoughts? How’d you guys think it went!

I just found out that the second midterm would be about Units 1 and 2
I truly don't understand how they expect us to learn all of this within three weeks and solve the exam within one hour and at the end, only a few topics are included in the exam

How does everyone think they did? Questions were definitely more detailed than I expected.

for the love of god with all offence included, please brush your teeth. like i know you can afford a tube of toothpaste if you can either use loans or other supports to attend uni. it’s genuinely an issue when i’m sitting in a lounge or library and i can smell the radiating gingivitis coming off of people when i’m not even directly beside them. (yes, gingivitis, very distinct smell). if it’s because of depression or other things okay that’s understandable i’ve been there but if you can show up to school you can spare some of that same energy to at least take a swig of mouthwash or pop some chewing gum in your mouth. id like to study while not being penetrated by the horrid smell of tooth decay if possible. also if you know your breath stinks, don’t be opening your mouth to talk!! if you think no one can smell it you’re most certainly mistaken. take advantage of the dental covered by tuition and spare the nostrils of your fellow peers from disintegrating.

Ordered hot btw lol

Currently finished nursing school with a cum gpa of 3.36 at 24 y.o. After nursing school, I am considering pursuing MD. Idk where to start. Or should I even start lol. Idk if I am being delusional. I know med school needs a 4.0 gpa and almost a perfect MCAT score but I am wondering what the process is like applying for med school.

How would I boost my cgpa? Should I do another degree and take courses needed for md application (bio chem, org chem etc..) In high school I didn’t have Physics 20 or 30 neither.

I live @ lister and saw some students peacefully protesting with like 3 cop cars outside watching them and another 5 ish cops inside. Genuinely felt so unsafe with the police presence I had to sleep over at my friends house ☠️ cus why was like a whole battalion there??? Is this a common thing are like police usually always here?? (Intl student no hate pls) 🙏

I’ll be need very good and stable wifi connection and can’t risk a crashing connection. Any suggestions?

I feel very proud and honoured to announce that one of our very own students from UAlberta (me) has shown an extremely inspiring amount of discipline and initiative to actually start lecture 1 for his courses (now). This will greatly help him succeed and perform well for his midterm (in 6 hours) as midterms tend to be extremely important to one’s success in passing a course.

Professionals in the field reported, “these moments do not come often.” So please, have a smile on your face today, because it’s truly a prideful time in UAlberta’s history.

Thank You 🥹,
(me)

How does everyone feel about the midterm tomorrow (Trish class primarily)? The sample midterm was pretty straightforward so can only hope it’s similar to that

Can me and my friends have the same formula sheet? We made it on a pdf together, and was wondering if this would be considered as academic integrity?

Hellooo, well I'll mention this first that IM NOT MAKING A TUTORING AD OR ASKING FOR MONEY IN THIS POST

Im just offering help to anyone who may feel stuck in CMPUT courses just because I went through the same issues and I'm now in my 4th year and after having TAed a bunch i think i know how to help most people struggling with cmput courses. Also, i just like helping.

Ofc im not offering any tutoring or asking for money, just offering FRIENDLY help so that u can get that 4.0 in your cmput courses. I won't TEACH you the topics necessarily but I'll show you the path that may be helpful.

Anyway lemme know if u need any help.

Blew all my points on it and bought 100+ entries, didn’t win anything. I lowk regret not getting ice cream with the points instead 🫩

The way Dr. Pei was like “that’s not the case for everyone” when that one kid said he didn’t feel good about the midterm has me quivering…. I did not do good I don’t think 😔

Is there supposed to be any email about where to get regalia this fall 2026 convocation? I am worried if i missed it

Hello, I have a midterm pretty soon on Friday for Middleton and was wondering if anyone who happened to take his course before found the exam to be hard. I'm feeling slightly unprepared even though I'm a bit familiar with Greek myth. Please lmk, thank you

Was feeling a bit low yesterday. Thought this was a good idea to finally do something I had been thinking for a while!

I keep making dumb mistakes on tests and second guessing myself. I passed all of my midterms but just genuinely making dumb mistakes I wouldn’t be spiralling if I just straight up didn’t know what I was doing but I do 😭😭 idk why I feel so down but I wanted to boost my GPA this term and have a 4.0 term which honestly realistic for the classes I have this term but feel like I just blew it . Anyways someone tell me something nice 💔

dw guys I saved the curve
