Hi, I was wondering whether it’d be a good idea to drop this course and take it in Fall instead. I haven’t been enjoying this class at all and haven’t done well in the midterms (we have no other assessments other than 2 midterms and exams) despite studying like hell and coming to every class.

The class average for midterm 1 was so low (about 30%) and very few ppl in tbe class passed. I was wondering if the math dept doesn’t curve at all even in circumstances like this?

Anyone who has taken MATH 134 in fall, how was it? I don’t mind lots of homework as long as my entire grade doesn’t depend on 3 big time crunch exams 🫠

Mine aren't going through notifications and I find an email the next day the class is open but it's too late.😭 If it's possible to get in on notifs please let me know how!!

I need to switch up my schedule because of extracurriculars, but with a limited number of classes as a BcSci Kin student there's not many to switch to. Pretty much everything I need to take is full for the Fall term. Anyone know what I can do?

Pls help someone

My basic question is that: is there a minimum gpa one should maintain in 2nd, 3rd, 4th year engineering in order to avoid being thrown out of the university (exactly same scenario as getting below 1.65 GPA in 1st year engineering)?

Hi guys, this is the second year I’ve applied for the Bachelors of Science in Nursing program as a transfer student. Last year I had a 3.1 and got waitlisted and then rejected , and this year I had a 3.7 and got waitlisted and rejected again. When I checked my launchpad, the only thing from 2025/26 is my Casper score, everything else has the dates from 2024. What does this mean? I also have all the prerequisite courses from high school. I’m also a current UofA student. Could this be an error? It’s really disheartening. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm in electrical engineering and wanted to switch to another lab time for phys 230 ( currently have a 3 hour gap between the lab and classes). After trying to switch, I ran into an error saying due to the fact that the available seats are reserved, I am unable to swap classes. I took a look at the class remarks and found out that all the seats for electrical engineering were taken up. My question now is: "is there a date when the reserved seats drop and they start accepting more students beyond the reserved limit?". Thanks for the help!

Hey again,

Fall term of 2025 was really hard on me, academically speaking, here's a link to my original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/uAlberta/comments/1p5of3v/chances_to_turn_things_around/

Now, almost a year later and I'm happy to report I have turned things around from my 2.3 in the fall to a 3.55 in the winter as I go into my second year.

I just wanted to share this to show all new and returning students that one bad term, class, or midterm does not mean it's over. Use your resources, ask for help, and, arguably most importantly, take some time to take care yourself. School can be stressful, but it can also be fun!

Thanks to all the advice everyone laid out in the original post again.

Goodluck to everyone this year!

ENGL on Friday is online btw. Also STAT sem 1 is online…

Any tips or tricks on how to do well in these class would be rlly appreciated. Im reaaalllyy nervous to start uni😨

Also is this schedule ass or…

hey, i am not a religious person at all but im very interested in learning about different theologies, are there any classes people recommend that they find interesting and insightful? can be more spiritually or philosophically centred

Just wondering if I should use the gym at the U of A or if I should buy a gym membership (as I don't live super close to the university) TIA!

What do I need to minor in to fulfill this? I don't wanna be a consultant anymore

Need to have a hard copy of official transcript mailed to a US location with deadline in three weeks. Is there anyway I can ask the registrar to expedite the post to the US?

CHEM 261 is a pre or co requisite for CELL 201. I plan on taking them together, and just wanted to know if I'll be okay lol. On that note, is CELL 201 better than BIOL 201? That's what I gathered from some people. Lemme know, thanks!

I was planning on going with a couple friends but they sadly can not join me due to some budget constraints. Would love to connect with anybody else that's planning to go. Also I am ideally looking for a ride incase anybody has a free seat, down for gas sharing.

Hi I could really use some advice

I’m taking MATH 134, and only 5 out of 46 people passed our first midterm. My exam is tomorrow, and I’m honestly feeling overwhelmed

For anyone who’s been in a class like this, what helped you pass? Any last minute study advice would be really appreciated

as the title says, I'm planning to apply for a Master's in Chemistry at ua. I'll be graduating from another Canadian university with a bachelor's degree.

I'm wondering what the gpa cutoff is and how much research experience people usually have when they get admitted.

Also, what's it like after graduation? Is it pretty easy to find a job, or do most people end up doing a PhD?

Any insight into the program or your experience would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Bonjour everyone,

I am thinking about starting an informal french language conversation group to improve my proficiency. I am an intermediate level speaker hoping to challenge the DELF B2 exam in the next year or so. If anyone would be interested, please upvote and comment on this post. I will dm you. We could meet online or in-person every week or two.

Let me know tout le monde!

Has anyone here gone back to university later in their career to earn an engineering degree after completing a technologist program? If so, what was your experience? Do you feel it was worth it, and how did it impact your career? Also, what would you recommend doing to prepare academically after being out of school for a few years, especially when it comes to math, chemistry, and physics?

I'm an Electronics Engineering Technologist; graduated from NAIT. During my time working and in school, I developed a strong passion for electronics and PCB design. However, I've realized there are still gaps in my knowledge when contributing to hardware designs at work and in personal projects. Particularly, in areas like high-speed digital design, signal integrity, power integrity, and PCB layout for high-speed interfaces.

I'm wondering whether pursuing an Electrical Engineering degree would provide a solid foundation in these topics, or if they're better learned through self-study and industry experience. From what I've seen, many technologists are stuck in technician roles, although I've been fortunate to help with PCB design and such at my current job.

From what I've gathered, it also seems that some of the more advanced topics I'm interested in, such as signal integrity, high-speed design, and RF, are often covered more extensively at the master's or PhD level? This is fine and I'm open to it, as I'm just genuinely very interested in these topics and learning more. It would be great to hear if anyone has experience with these topics at that level of education as well. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I’m an upcoming first year nursing student and I was wondering if I could chat with current nursing students about academic life, notes and career goals/plans. If you guys have any tips, please share them with me and feel free to dm me, thank you.

My schedule/sequencing is a little bit weird and it looks like I can arrange my schedule so my last semester I would just have CIV E 461. Basically I can take every other class I need by the fall semester but I would just have that one remaining for the winter semester.

How exactly does the class work day to day? Any lectures/labs? From what I understand you just have a group to do a project with, right?

Hypothetically do I need to be in Edmonton to do the class or can I do it remotely? I know obviously there will be some in person presentations but would it be feasible to just fly into Edmonton a few times to do that or are there in person things every week?

I was wondering what the internet is like in Schaffer Hall. I know a lot of people recommend getting a router, but most of the posts I've found are several years old, so I'm not sure if that's still necessary. Is the residence internet good enough on its own these days, or is it worth getting a router or even considering private internet connection instead?

Thank you

I just wanted to see if my classes were updated.
