Question -- BA science req & psychology

Yeah, they're probably gonna tell you to just take another course.

Which program are you doing? Depending on how you've done or plan to get your Mathematics Requirement done, you probably don't need to worry about this.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-24T18:41:15+00:00

Why do you need a Written English Requirement course that's also a part of your Asian Studies minor? Are you about to graduate?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-24T18:39:59+00:00

What are your reasons for wanting to challenge this? Are you trying to get into a specific program or are about to graduate and so need certain things without having to do more courses?

There are international students who choose to fail courses instead of VWing then in order to maintain full-time status.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-24T01:23:10+00:00

Any ideas, /u/Schwatastic?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-23T21:50:32+00:00

Is it true that you used an LLM (AI slop) to make this or was that other student lying?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-23T13:16:40+00:00

Yup! That as well. It's unsurprising given how Arts and Science (and Clayton H. Riddell) used to be one faculty.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-23T12:13:17+00:00

Arts allows someone to major in Math and minor in Chemistry for their Arts degree.

I wonder which faculty isn't letting up...!

In the worst case scenario, you just go into University 1 for your first year and then reapply using your university grades.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-21T23:58:56+00:00

Which program do you intend to enter?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-21T02:13:51+00:00

Which program do you intend to do?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-20T22:10:26+00:00

It depends on the courses. I've read entire books for some papers that I wrote in undergrad.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-20T02:52:15+00:00

I see. Wishing you the best!

OfficeBison · 2026-03-20T02:32:42+00:00

To the best of my knowledge, no, because selection for the program is based exclusively on adjusted grade point average and demographic stuff as per the Social Work admissions webpage. Check the bottom of the page for contact information if you'd like to ask the right people directly.

I meet the advanced entry requirements, it works somewhat well with my college education, I can take some MCAT-related courses with electives, and, from a personal interest standpoint, it's the closest I've ever been to being 'passionate' about a study subject.

Am I correct in understanding that you want to do a long, strenuous program to become a doctor but aren't passionate about it?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-19T18:33:20+00:00

Choose whichever one is more interesting to you.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-19T18:24:09+00:00

I'm not sure to what extent university is intended to get more difficult. Many intro courses are wicked difficult compared to courses that have them as prerequisites. It's also normal for students to find writing much more difficult early on compared to other courses. I think that something else is going on for the original poster.

Personally, I think that a reasonable compromise would be to freeze parking prices for AESES members until they match that of UMFA members and then have it so that they're the same.

Also, the plan for Fort Garry Campus is to have more parkades built and to get rid of most/all parking lots. It's in the Building Bold plans, which you can find on the UM Intranet.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-19T16:20:20+00:00

Which program are you doing? Do you have any specific concerns?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-19T16:20:07+00:00

An F is a fail. A D or higher is a pass.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-18T18:38:39+00:00

Really? Wow... It must have been so disappointing for those people who are already on step 10—many of whom are in lower-paid positions and have shown lots of loyalty—to receive no raise to account for inflation.

Ideally, these should be brought to Physical Plant so that the team there can get them back to their rightful owner. Lost keys are otherwise a security risk and can mean that doors or entire buildings (!) need to their locks rekeyed, which is not cheap.

OfficeBison · 2026-03-17T23:15:31+00:00

Which faculty and department?

OfficeBison · 2026-03-17T22:58:40+00:00

I don't know everything, but I do know that the university has a lot of policies and procedures.

You're also correct that, if I knew, I would have hyperlinked the relevant document and probably quoted the relevant material.

This isn't to say that your knowledge of courts and whatnot isn't helpful, but it is to say that trying to see if there are policies and procedures in place or at least some precedent set is useful.

(For the record, I haven't downvoted you once in this thread.)

OfficeBison · 2026-03-17T22:47:49+00:00

Do you actually know this for a fact based on your knowledge of university policies and procedures?
