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)

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.

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

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

Can someone start a petition to have the bus classes reworked or even just do a poll? I know so many studnts in bus 101-444 that are extremely unhappy about the education their recieving and I wanna know if everyone thinks the same way.

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.

dw guys I saved the curve

Hello, if anyone has seen an A90 Pro headphone case either at the bottom floor of ETLC or outside the surrounding area, it would be greatly appreciated if you could bring them to a lost and found and inform me. Photo of case for reference

I decided to take a gap year 1.5 years ago as I was suffering with some mental issues, all resolved now because it was nothing too bad and did not leave lingering effects on my brain, so this year I had also decided I was to miss it and delay college a little longer just to be sure, but as I have been kinda cleared by my doctor the semester has barely started, now I am planning for the fall intake next year, so when counting it would have been 2 years inbetween then and when I start, now I am a US international student, I live in Turkey but I was born in the US, and I did a homeschooling program (legally registered as its own school district in Florida tho so its recognized like a brick and mortar school not homeschool). Now that is the stupid ass backstory you probably did not need but I feel like its critical for my specific scenario.

I have basically forgotten precalclus (I even took honors sadly), but now when I look at it, it looks like Chinese to me, if I gauge myself honestly, I believe I am somewhere on an Algebra II level, but I do believe I adapt somewhat fast, do you guys honestly think I could pass math 154, because precalc was hard, do you think I could cram that into the summer next year to really catch myself up enough for it?

My main question that you can kind of derive from this is, is math 154 a pos and hard asf, and if so do you think with my level I should just do a diff major like a BA in psychology, because that also interests me but Ive been always aiming to do finance or BCOM because that is my main goal? And last question, if you actually do not think I could do that, based on me telling you I like psychology and finance, is there any major you guys could recommend that does not actually require math 154?

(Now I am m sorry if my writing may be informal, but it is 4am in Turkey so I am dead tired, but I cant sleep because this question forever lingers in my mind as I have always saw UAlberta to be the ideal school for me (Dont question why I have 0 idea either).

also note I have good highschool grades so admission would be fine, I think atleast, I have like honors precalc and a lot of honors classes, I only did 3 ap's but yeah...

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into After-Degree / Accelerated Nursing programs in BC and Alberta (specifically eyeing UBC, U of A, U of C, and BCIT).

I’m finishing my degree through Trinity Western University in a non-science major, Biblical Studies.

For anyone who applied to Canadian after-degree nursing programs with a non-science or religious studies degree:

Did admissions evaluate your degree as long as it came from an accredited/chartered university?

I’ve been super scared cuz I just got back a grade (did my final recently) and it was not good and it dropped my gpa down to a 3.84. I know it might sound like a minor issue but now I’m really scared that my gpa won’t be high enough for med school at uofa. Is a 3.84 good for med at uofa or not?

What are your experiences with sororities? I’m interested in joining one but know really nothing and want to learn more.

Hi, I get accommodations and one of them is access to Quizlet premium. I think at the beginning of the year, my Prof said that we aren’t allowed to use Quizlet and they took legal action over it once.

Is it okay if I just have it on private though or will it feed it to the ai for other users? Also does this go for all class because if so what’s the point of having this as an accommodation??

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(

people in front of lister today protesting about jesse brown, a heavily zionist podcast/journalist, who was in one of the conference rooms at lister.

Thoughts? How’d you guys think it went!

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 💔

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

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 🫩

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.

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

I've been waiting patiently for the restock but it hasn't happened and now I have to actually use my money........ crazy things happening rn
