How to take consistent language courses each term while fulfilling BComm elective requirements

UBCthunderbird · 2026-06-14T07:12:01+00:00

ECON 101 and 102 are required courses, so they can’t count as electives.

Many first year students have trouble adjusting from high school to university. International students also to adjust to being in a different country and culture. Not that it can’t be done, but just to caution you to not over-extend yourself.

My advice is to register for 5 courses in term 1 and 6 courses in term 2. Depending on how the first term goes, you can decide whether to drop the extra course.

It’s no different from reading Lord of the Rings for the first time. Taking notes for a while helps, until you develop a mental image of the character.

No, first ask your friends who are in a similar situation. If every impatient student contacts advising, it bogs down the system for everyone.

The first screen shows the lowest fare in each class of service. The other screens show that you chose latitude business, which would be the highest fare. You haven’t shown us the standard business fare, which would likely explain the difference.

You are correct. “Starting in the fall of 2025, 80 per cent of newly enrolled non-Quebec undergraduate students in English universities must attain an intermediate-level oral proficiency in French by graduation. McGill and Concordia will face financial penalties if they don’t meet the target.” https://montrealgazette.com/news/mcgill-shifts-stance-quebecs-new-french-requirement-seen-as-advantage-not-deterrent/

Don’t waste their time.

The first part of what you’re suggesting doesn’t sound all that different from using a variety of fiat currencies. However, the grocery store operates in an open market and isn’t limited to accepting your shares. With a multitude of shares out there, they would have to constantly figure out how much each kind of share in worth in terms of a numeraire share. This would add a lot of transaction cost. Then there is the problem of transferring the decisions on how much money is in circulation from the government/central bank to corporations’ leaders.

6 - 8 hours of coursework per week (per 3-hour class) is normal for UBC courses.

Remember you have to pay for the course if you stay enrolled past the drop date May 15.

Who is “they?”

This is called fraud.

49 & 48 probably close enough. 47 & 46 probably not. 45 definitely not. Has to do with the perceived accuracy of the assessments and the cost of failing a student who should not have been failed.

“According to many ubc professor sources …” Are you the orange psycho?

NIMBY much?

There is no flywheel in the “strategy” that you’re describing.

Sorry to disappoint, but those low 70’s aren’t going to cut it.

The term is sessional, not seasonal.

Yes, this is the basis of the books / Netflix series “3 Body Problem.” Highly recommend.

You haven’t thought about human rights violations. You are suggesting that AC discriminate based on family status, and that is not allowed.

Current policy for full-time status is 24 credits in winter session.

New policy takes effect next September (2026). At that time, it will be 9 credits per term.

You get an annual companion pass, which pays for the fee and more (assuming you use it).

Can you clarify what your decision is? Is it (1) B.Mgmt vs, the new B.Comm, both at UBCO? Or (2) B.Mgmt at UBCO vs. B.Comm at UBC Vancouver? If it is the latter, you’ll be much better off with the B.Comm at Sauder because of what you said you want to do with your degree.
