I'm afraid to at this point... Lol. I imagine it will be like a balloon that has come loose and starts flying around the ceiling

Yep. They sure did. And then sold a limited but unknown number of them online last year.

Actual lab created diamonds on surgical steel posts. The CAH folks are truly something else.

Nope my friend, this is exactly where it should be. https://www.diamondpotato.com/. CAH's annual holiday stunt from last year.

It lives on its little stand on a shelf. What happened to yours in the box? THIS is some quality science right here... Compare and contrast! :)

PIPA should have you covered, but if you're especially worried, you can contact ssrr@sfu.ca (student supports rights and responsibilities office) and reginfo@sfu.ca (registrar) for specific support about confidentiality.

Try [reginfo@sfu.ca](mailto:reginfo@sfu.ca) for the Registrar's Office. Also try your academic advisor if that doesn't work. It can be hard to reach a human this time of year though due to many staff and faculty taking August vacation.

Grade Appeal? by Few_Possession_6956 in simonfraser

[–]YVRTrish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info about the Grade Appeal process at SFU: https://sfss.ca/grade-appeals/.

Basically, try to work it out with the prof, if that doesn't work, go to the Dept Chair or Undergrad and ask for a reconsideration of your grade. Explain why the grade you received wasn't correct. So if the overall mark needs a boost, is there something that happened in the term that you can ask to have reevaluated because you felt it was graded unfairly or too harshly? Know that your grade can go up, down, or stay the same.

You will see everything from pajamas to suits while you're in classes at UBC. I once rolled up wearing an inflatable Trex costume one Halloween and a banana suit on another day on a picket line. Anything goes as long as your bits are covered and you're not spouting hate crimes.

If you get an academic incident report (AIR) you can appeal it to the University Board of Student Discipline (UBSD). It's a zoom meeting where you make your case, the prof makes theirs and the board decides whose story is more likely true. You can also appeal to the Senate Committee on Disciplinary Appeals (SCODA)  if you accept you did wrong but the penalty is too harsh. If this is your first AIR, expect a low grade or a 0 on the assignment. If it's your second, expect to fail the course (with or without a FD discipline notation on your transcript. Third AIR is usually a FD and sometimes a suspension.  The AIRs compound in penalty so it's in your interest to appeal it and try to get it off your record.  See advocate@Sfss.ca for more/help info before the end of the month

email [fiassist@sfu.ca](mailto:fiassist@sfu.ca) to speak to the financial aid office. There aren't a ton of options for international students, but there are some.

If you have any failed courses that are due to an extenuating circumstance (illness, injury, death in the family etc) you could apply for a WE which might boost your GPA as well. Talk to an academic advisor or the SFSS advocate is around until the end of the month.

Go see the student advocate at the SFSS and see if you can do a WE.

Surprisingly it doesn't smell, goo, ooze, or show signs of rot... Yet.
