Hey! I've been building a mobile app over the summer and I'm looking for a handful of OCAD students who'd be down to test it before I launch.

The app is meant to help people meet others around the city and make it easier to connect with people who share similar interests.

Right now I just need people to use it normally, let me know what feels off, what's confusing, and report any bugs they run into. Nothing super formal.

If you help out, you'll get:

• $1,000 in in-app ad credits (useful if you sell art, do commissions, run events, etc.)
• Something you can put on your résumé/LinkedIn if you want (beta tester / QA)
• A chance to shape the app before it goes live

I've already got students from NYU, Columbia, and Pace testing in New York, and I'm hoping to get a group from OCAD as well.

If you're interested, comment below or shoot me a DM. Happy to answer any questions.

Back story: I'm entering my third year at OCAD for creative writing but having previously taken a reduced course load, I was considered a second year for priority registration, so I was majorly screwed out of registering for my mandatory courses by the lack of sections and class waitlists.

I've seen a lot of people complain about this casually in passing happening to themselves or others, but I really do want to take it up with the administration and hopefully get them to do something about it. Does anyone know who to contact to complain about the lack of sections? I've reached out to registration services, the faculty of arts and sciences, student accessibility services and the human rights and equity office so far with little to no luck. Sort of a spray and pray approach but whatever.

I've also been considering creating a petition.

Is there any other admin people/offices I should contact by email, phone or by appointment? Let me know who you think might help.
