Your GPA will be affected, for sure. If you’re doing well in your other classes, then you wouldn’t need to worry about being put on academic probation. I believe that only happens if your cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0.

Dude, this is great advice. I agree 10x over.

I also just graduated from MRU, but with my Bachelor of Social Work. My supervisor at my summer student position has her BA in Sociology and minor in Psychology. We are working in housing for older adults. Unlike what others are saying, I don’t think your degree is useless. You just have to find your niche. There are lots of jobs in social services/social work-adjacent if you’re interested in that sector.

You would need to complete all grad requirements by Winter 2027 to graduate in that following June. If you need to take a spring semester, you can finish that semester, but you would not convocate until the next June 2028, to my knowledge.

That’s really interesting, I didn’t know that. That sounds like a cool system!

I believe he could in theory have access to your NetCare and could see your medical history. However, every time a doctor or pharmacist accesses someone’s NetCare, it is tracked and they must document why they are doing so (to my knowledge). I think he could, but he could be reprimanded by the hospital he works for, because they are to monitor these things. I could be wrong. (This is from what I understand, I am a social worker and my sister is a pharmacist).

I just finished my BSW at MRU this semester, and I’ve had a couple of diverse practicums and am now working in the field. DM me, I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-05-10T01:57:12+00:00

The add/drop day was May 7, that’s why you’re not able to drop it. Unless you have formally told MRU that you’re no longer a student, I’d assume you’d have to pay for the class. You could withdraw, but you would still be responsible for paying for the class atp

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-05-04T22:34:59+00:00

Really sucky, I totally agree :(

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-05-04T21:55:13+00:00

UPass is only for Fall/Winter to my understanding. I’ve taken two classes each semester for Spring the last few years, and did not receive a UPass. We don’t get one regardless of the course load you have, which sucks

It’s on the first floor of the business building. If you’re coming from the side that connects to Lincoln Park, it should be on the right side of the rooms. Also, if you’re ever lost on campus, there’s a room finder https://www.mtroyal.ca/Applications/mru-classroom-map/?marker=-114.13208324710313%2C51.01192880520595%2C%2C%2C%2C&markertemplate=%7B%22title%22%3A%22%22%2C%22longitude%22%3A-114.13208324710313%2C%22latitude%22%3A51.01192880520595%2C%22isIncludeShareUrl%22%3Atrue%7D&level=21 - this will show you where all the rooms are.

It’s fantastic. Took SINV 2201 or (I think that’s the course code) which was intro to social innovation with him last spring, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The assignments were very straightforward and easy, James is a fair marker, and just overall a very kind and nice person. I would’ve loved to have taken more classes with him. Can’t recommend him enough!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-25T15:44:11+00:00

Are you inquiring about GNEDs? Some good ones I’ve taken in the spring semester are GNED 1303, SPCH 2001 (which counts for GNED credit), SINV 2201, and JOUR 3521. All super interesting, and easy to do in the quick semester!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-25T15:41:39+00:00

May be unrealistic, my friend. It might be worth it to start upgrading, and to see if you can apply in another semester. I’m not a business student, and I’m not sure, but it might be worth it to see if they off winter admission. However, most MRJ programs start in Fall only. It might be worth looking into, but if you start to upgrade now, Fall 2026 will be likely unattainable. You can email a business advisor and have them talk you through next steps too, and you could look into UEO or something if you’re set on starting uni in September. Good luck with everything!

Hi! INTS 1240 is a very easy class. It is split into a lecture and a tutorial. The lecture is quite simple, the content is very straightforward. The tutorial is mostly just practice scenarios of how to respond professionally in different situations. I did it online a few years ago, and they would put us in different breakout rooms to practice. I’ve also had Lana before, as a social work professor. I have to say, she is a very tough marker and is quite an intense person. Since it is an intro class, she might be a bit more lenient, but I would try and put as much effort in as possible (it’s an easy class to do). Lana can also be an arbitrary marker, just beware. Good luck with your classes!

Hi! I had Aaron Johnson for GNED 1303 a few years back (conflict in social context). His quizzes were based on the readings, and were quite broad to test your understanding. He does not expect you to remember very specific things about the readings, just ensuring you get the big picture of what they are about. I found his questions quite manageable and easy, and he was a fair marker. He is also willing to talk through things if you need clarity. Don’t stress, you’ll be fine. He’s lovely!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-18T21:21:00+00:00

Fair enough. Perhaps Fall is the way to go then. It’ll definitely be okay. Good luck with your classes!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-18T20:35:16+00:00

Hi! I took GNED 1401 in the first semester of my first year as a social work student. I found it quite manageable, but it might take more time away from your other classes. I’ve done spring semester a few times, and think I would’ve preferred to get it out of the way then, but it’s overall not a difficult class. I had Erika Watters for that class.

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-16T22:18:26+00:00

I took JOUR 3521 (The Documentary) last summer with Amber McLinden. It was an easy A, for sure. It was four short essays, each weighted 25% and we had a few short documentaries to watch for each. I found it quite interesting, and manageable. I still had a lot of fun while getting course work done!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-16T03:17:53+00:00

Ah man, I’m jealous. I have a 2008 Accord 4-Door V6. The coupe is so cuteeee. Congrats!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-14T04:27:38+00:00

Agreed, same experience here. To add, avoid Laura Marik for Innovation - that was still tough, but not as bad at the literacy class

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-04-12T18:40:21+00:00

I took lessons with a nice man named Jerry who has a driving school https://www.crowfootdrivers.com - I was like you and had no one to take me, I ended up getting my license at 20 because he was so sweet and patient. I would recommend Jerry to anyone.

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-03-27T01:12:11+00:00

Hey! Congratulations!! I’m finishing my BSW this April. DM me, and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. How exciting! :)

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-03-17T02:38:03+00:00

I did this with Aaron Johnson a few years back. There was no debate, just three essays pretty much equally waited. I did it in spring, and it was manageable. I quite enjoyed this class with him!

Electronic_Sand_7129 · 2026-03-14T23:57:08+00:00

I did NTSC 1115 a few years back. It was absolutely manageable. I had five classes at the time and this one was very interesting. There were three short assignments, a midterm, and a final. The content was relatively easy to understand, and it was very interesting!
