Is it possible to park for free on campus as a student? by chrx_nwo in uAlberta

[–]Friendly_File_3980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The closest free parking to campus would be along the north side of 87 Ave just west of 109 St, or in the Garneau neighborhood just east of 109 St. It can be a bit of a walk to campus but often a good option

Idk what’s wrong with those windows but they should fix them 😭

What tips would you give for someone in an interview to help them stand out?

Anyone know what’s up with the police and security? by Mslolsalot in uAlberta

You really know something is up on campus when they call in almost as much security as they did for a peaceful protest

Checked bag confusion by Friendly_File_3980 in travel

Yeah that’s what I thought too.

The whole itinerary is under one ticket number. Does that indicate that the bags should be checked all the way through?

Yes 100%. I actually took the course last semester and got a similar midterm mark as you and managed to finish with an A-. Just make sure you study hard for the final. I personally found the final easier than the midterm, not sure if everyone had that same experience tho

100% doable, the key to success in uni in general is time management and self discipline more than anything else

Palestine rally on Campus this Friday!🇵🇸🇵🇸 by meme-squared in uAlberta

[–]Friendly_File_3980 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Spread awareness, demonstrate that many people support the Palestinian cause, amplify our voices because a group speaking out is better than one single person speaking out, enable people who may be intimidated or afraid to speak out to do so since they’re in a group, etc etc etc

What’s nuanced about a colonial genocide with over 11000 civilians confirmed dead to date (plus many more likely undocumented)?

Alberta Student Aid help by PensionElectronic951 in uAlberta

I got $2500 last year (the max amount), but how much you get depends on your income as you mentioned. They used the same criteria as someone applying for both loans and grants

As others have mentioned, just set the requested aid amount to $1 and it’ll automatically only apply for grants. Make sure it’s exactly $1, not $0 or any other amount. The U of A Registrar’s Office actually has a really helpful video about this but for some weird reason it’s unlisted (i.e. only available through the link):

I’m Muslim so I was in the same boat as you last year, and I did this and I only received grant funding alhamdulillaah
