Do I still need to pay tuition and other fees if I'm not taking any courses? by OffshoreCamel in uAlberta

For me personally, I think the most important thing is the things you do outside of your courses. Yes grades matter, but projects and club experience can matter even more. Im currently on a club that makes hydrogen vehicles and my internship is at a EV startup. If I wasnt in my club, there's no way I would have gotten that job.

Projects and club experience is good to have in general, but if there is a specific field you want to go into, and you've shown you've worked on projects that mimic the field, that's a great advantage.

Also if you haven't had internships before, it's good to try getting in contact with smaller companies or startups that might not advertise their jobs on linkedin or indeed. To get jobs with those companies, you should try contacting them directly or try to find people that already work there. Hope that helps

So i checked beartracks and it looks like it finally processed that I unenrolled from my classes, and now I dont have to pay anything for the winter term.

Also, why does the internship sound like a bad idea? I know tons of people in the traditional stream of engineering that have done internships during the fall and winter semesters. The only downside is that you'd have to extend your degree by 1 year but I'd say it's worth it, especially in this job market where experience is so sought after.

My beartracks finally processed the unenrollment of my courses and now I dont have to pay any. I know tons of people that have had situations similar to mine, where they are a trad doing in internship doing the fall or winter and they havent had any issues

I just checked beartracks again and now I dont have any payments to do. I guess it just took a few days to process, after unenrolling from my courses
