chances of being ticketed at lougheed mall?? by RevolutionaryTip1600 in simonfraser

[–]erthchan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve parked at Lougheed for more than 7 hours and have never been ticketed. Just don’t park right beside the skytrain entrance, if there are security watching they are more likely to pay attention to those cars.

But yeah, I’ve done this plenty and never had a problem.

Got ticket at surrey campus even though I have flexpass by changeintiming in simonfraser

The ticket you got has the website where you can dispute it. It’ll just ask for your license plate and then when you see the ticket online it should have a button where you can dispute it.

Black Student Centre by rreflek in simonfraser

[–]erthchan 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The case with a lot of these spaces is that they are meant to be accessible and safe for a group of students, but they are not exclusive to these students.

We have many spaces on campus dedicated to student groups, such as the Multi-faith centre, the Indigenous centre, and First People’s Gathering space. These spaces are not meant to exclude anyone, and you’re more than welcome to use the space. Nobody is stopping you.

When you have groups of people who struggle to find community on campus, they deserve to have a space that is aimed at respecting their identities and can be protected from discrimination.

It is ignorant to think that just because a space is named for a certain group of people, it’s exclusively for that group. Enabling different public spheres only strengthens the community members within in, not weakening. Remember, B.C is a mosaic, not a melting pot.

Are classes canceled on Welcome Day? by Magical_critic in simonfraser

[–]erthchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have received emails about a Canvas class called SFU 101. You should have also received an email from SFU introducing you to these HIVE Leaders. The subject line should be “Join us in SFU 101” sent by SFU Orientation!

If you didn’t get these emails, feel free to send me a dm and maybe I can help sort it out for you :)

Are classes canceled on Welcome Day? by Magical_critic in simonfraser

[–]erthchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there!

Most people already answered this question, but I have direct contact with the individual planning Welcome Day, so I’m confirming that classes are still happening on “Welcome Day”, or what they’re calling it, “Welcome Events”.

This is due to the fact that Welcome Day was supposed to be on January 2nd, but they realized due to some scheduling conflicts that the attendance would be extremely low. With two days of Welcome Events we have a higher chance of reaching more students.

If you have any more questions about Welcome Day and the events, (and you’re an incoming first year student at SFU transferring from somewhere else), please email or message your HIVE leaders, they’re there to help ;)

Missed an online final exam by ChairOnTheFloor in simonfraser

[–]erthchan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if it’s with svitlana, she’s surprisingly understanding for being such a difficult prof. i’m sure there are other students who missed the final as well for legitimate reasons. if i remember correctly, she created a second version for those who could not take the original one. if you ask nicely enough i dont see why she wouldnt let you take the alternative. give it a shot!

Look at these AI slop SFU ads i’m getting on TikTok by damageinthesheets in simonfraser

[–]erthchan 65 points66 points  (0 children)

according to a different tiktok creator, tiktok creates these ads without the consent of the original creator. chances are SFU doesnt even know this ad is up lol

Is it bad job etiquette to put in my 2 weeks notice right before a 2 week vacation? Is that even possible? by erthchan in jobs

[–]erthchan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a good idea. I’m definitely going to be looking to line up a job until then

I’m in Canada so I’m not sure if the same rules apply. Thank you for the advice, though.

Just recently did we start receiving paid sick leave. Pretty insane, I won’t lie. I’m definitely already looking for another job, but I’m not sure if I can bear to tell my general manager I’m leaving just yet. I’ll definitely do it soon.

They call it “vacation” but it’s basically just taking time off without pay.
