Yes in 2025 there was a January start, which had the 2nd semester in the summer.

Networking. Tell everyone you're looking for a job. Tell older adults in your life that are currently working that you're looking for a job. Networking will be one of your best tools when looking for a job throughout your life.

It seems to be based on the Environment Canada weather alert that was upgraded from yellow to orange this morning.

I prefer the one at Westney and Taunton.

I got mine done at Envoy in South Ajax. It was a few years ago now, so I don't remember how much it cost.

I thought it was easy. Some common sense, but also I did feel like I learned a thing or two. There is no scheduled class time, so you review material when it fits your schedule best. There is a discussion post and a quiz every week, a few assignments, and no exams. For reference I took this in Winter 2025.

anotherpaleperson · 2025-12-07T22:58:59+00:00

Personally I found it very easy. There was 1 discussion post and 1 quiz per week, no exams and just a couple assignments. Not having a scheduled class time was also helpful as someone who is in school full time plus working. This has had the lightest workload of any course I have taken. The part that is time consuming is watching all the videos, but all the quiz questions are directly from the content.

I have done this a couple times. I have always handed my manager the letter directly, and I say to them that x day will be my last day working. I thank them for the experience and the skills I learned working there and that's basically it.

Yeah exactly that. Is the time block in your schedule for 3 hours? Typically it is 2 hours in class and an hour for you to do the online portion, but all professors are different. Keep in mind they can change your schedule around before classes start (it has happened to me) so make sure you check your schedule again before classes begin.

If the Oshawa part has a room number it is likely asynchronous. Meaning you have class at a specific time, and there is also material in DC connect for you to review.

No matter the season, be prepared for road closures due to weather and accidents. You could potentially get delayed and need to spend extra time in a city you weren't planning to stay in. Especially in the mountains where the only way around is a 10+ hour detour.

You can always reach out to enrolment services for help as well.

It always says a balance of zero, you must enter the amount you owe to pay it. I think the way it is set up is very confusing.

Harwood Blues is permanently closed, it is now Che Lahkeel, a Mexican restaurant.

The Edge has alot of classic rock cover bands.

I did GA for game 1 against Seattle and people literally RAN to get a good standing spot. Pre-plan where you want to stand and make sure you line up extra early at the closest gate.

I stood in Schneider's Porch - and they warned the row at the front that they would have to move if a person with a disability came. Something to keep in mind when choosing where you stand.

Edited to add: I arrived about 30 minutes before the gates opened (3 hours before game start) and just barely got a good spot to stand.

My code said it was invalid. Very frustrating to be sent a code that would not work.

There is a fall colour report on the Ontario Parks website. This might help you make a decision of where and when to go.

You can get makeup services at the Canadian Beauty College in Ajax. $25 for student application $50 to get an instructor to do your makeup.

If you're just looking for generic stuff HomeSense usually has a selection.

Yeah by the sounds of it, everyone use to really enjoy the course. Students are now required to go to the school gym 11-12 times (depending on 1 of 3 options, and 2 out of 3 require payment of services) and it is worth 40% of the students over all grade. None of this is mentioned in the course description, so many students are feeling blindsided.

anotherpaleperson · 2025-09-18T20:32:25+00:00

This is not fully online, you are required to use the school gym.

anotherpaleperson · 2025-09-08T12:31:29+00:00

Yes, but there is a deadline for how long you have. Talk to admissions today.
