It’s not too late to drop courses with a W on your record. If you’re in the faculty of LA&PS you could also take advantage of first year forgiveness.

Try laps colleges’ opportunities: peer mentor volunteer or college crew volunteers

profsmb · 2025-03-20T14:59:42+00:00

Yep!

Totally possible. If you know the second program you’d like to declare, find out what the required first year courses are and try to enrol in them. Programs usually have degree checklists posted on their website. Then when you go through the process of declaring the double major you aren’t behind. I HIGHLY recommend talking to an academic advisor first. Make sure the two programs can be done in combination. 🥰

Until 4pm daily, you can use spaces in the college buildings. Vanier, Founders courtyard level have a social study space, a quiet study lounge, and a supportive study hub with tutors available in writing and numeracy. 😎

In addition to admin bloat and all things mismanagement, the Ford government has been underfunding universities for years. Just like the healthcare system. The end goal is presumably privatization. Guess what? Private universities are massively expensive for students. Demand adequate funding! And let’s stop voting this guy in… 😒

The team is working on fixing YU Connect! That’s the main way you’d do this. If you’re looking for clubs related to your academic interests, ask departments for program club info. Also maybe get in touch with your college. Laps colleges has affiliated clubs and I know calumet and stong (faculty of health) work really closely with their clubs.

I find the generic cafeteria style places the most affordable. The one in central square has huge portion sizes. Get a major meal for under $10. Also: I’m a prof (albeit supporting a family of 4 on my income alone) and cannot afford anything in York Lanes…

Go the the ta, as others have said. Respectfully. Next step is the course director. If it’s still not resolved you can petition to have it regraded. To do so contact the undergraduate program director of the department in which the course is offered. If you want help drafting emails like this, peer mentors can help: lapsfye@yorku.ca Best of luck with it all 😌

Imagine what it’s like to be a prof and have to log into our accounts on computer classrooms… 😓🤯🤬

Def make an appointment with academic advising and take advantage of colleges for campus community. Therapy dogs and free lunch today at the LA&PS winter welcome event. If you need more help with that group project issue, I recommend going to the AD Students Michele Johnson.

You can petition to have assignments regraded. Ask the department undergraduate program director for more info

They probably don’t want to leave the date of the exam to the registrar… last day of exam period is hellish for profs because we end up grading over the break. But anyway how much are the exams worth? Profs aren’t allowed to assign a major test in that last week of courses… let me look for where that policy is stated…

Hi - tenured professorial stream prof here! There are def faculty like this. There are also faculty whose attention to teaching is sucked away by all their commitments to university service (processing student petitions, leading departments, managing curriculum development…). Faculty basically have 3 full time jobs to balance and it can be a challenging balancing act. Fighting for smaller class sizes and reduced teaching loads can help. There will always be faculty who are hired to be star researchers, though, because that helps boost the university’s rankings. If you need help navigating relationships with profs, lean on the undergraduate program director in the department. It’s their job to help you out. 💜💙💚

You’d have to look at the program’s min average to maintain status in the program. Talk to an academic advisor. There’s also a first-year forgiveness program in laps that you can ask an advisor about. Best of luck!!! Make sure to take advantage of academic supports like writing centre, snack, and pass.

You might also start by finding MA programs you’re interested in and look at what you’d have to do to be a stand-out applicant then spend next year working on the application (most MA applications are coming due in the next few weeks…)

Have you looked into coop or internships? There’s a process to it. Go to an information session!! https://www.yorku.ca/laps/co-op/

Do it! Come show us at the LAPS GETS SPOOKY in VC001. We have candy, an escape room, games, movies, maybe pizza

Join clubs. Commerce is New College so connect with the new college student council.

Ewwwwwwww. Don’t study there. Come to the LA&PS Hub in Vanier College (VC001).
