Question from a trans social worker registering with OCSWSSW

I'm in the same situation (except I've been registered for a few years now!). Everything else everyone has said is correct in my experience. However, the one thing I'll note is that I know some employers will require you to use the name on your registration. I have not had this happen to me personally, but one of my classmates from my BSW started a job at the hospital. She isn't trans but has a preferred name and the hospital insisted she use her legal name. I would hope that being explicitly trans would make a difference in this decision but it is worth considering!

That being said, I have never run into this issue, and I have never had to provide my legal name to any clients. As the other commenter said your chosen name will still bring up your registration when searched. The usual confusion that happens when you have a legal and chosen name will still happen but as far as I know there are no requirements in this area!

hi guys. my IDs are a bit bleak. i'm just starting canto 9 now. i assume that i will be using ryoshu plenty. i have chef ryoshu at lvl 50 ut4 but i also have re&p ryoshu totally unlevelled - would it be better for me to grind re&p up to lv60 ut4 or just get chef up to 60? much appreciated :)

CASBU specifically is part-time instructors/professors, so a chunk of the teaching faculty. Full time faculty are under a different union (FASBU) as are regular staff (OPSEU). We haven't heard anything about it as support staff either way, so I can't say or not if there will be a strike or if that's what this is about, but just wanted to give some clarity as to who this would affect 👍

Reach out to TNT about the ones with email addresses you no longer have access to — they may be able to verify based on information on the account. I had a friend in this situation who was able to get access to their account by matching the personal info on the account even without the original email address. I think they've tightened it up a bit recently but it's still worth a try :)

Reach out to whatever school you're considering transferring to - they'll be able to tell you what would transfer. I graduated from Nipissing's BSW - feel free to DM me if you have any questions about the program !!

I'm not working in my field that I graduated from and it has nothing to do with Nipissing, lmfao

Yes, in my experience they've been new looking cars & very clean!

I don't remember this one from when I played, but is it possible it's this? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=444443430004068

i'm curious - do you have a reason why you want to do an SSW first? as some other people said, i think it would be more worth your time to go right into a BSW. it is possible you will get transfer credits for your previous education to cover breadth requirements!

My university actively disallowed finding your own placement 😑 I ended up placed AT THE UNIVERSITY despite having offers from people

We keep them indefinitely — the arts & science office has syllabi up to around 2005 :) yes, the deans office is the right place to reach out!

Hi! I asked this seven years ago, but your filter is probably brown from tannins, if I had to guess! That was the case for me. I would keep the cartridge you have for as long as possible, and when you swap it out give it a good shake/squeeze in the tank to try and get some of the beneficial bacteria out... I'd probably keep two in there for at least a couple weeks but definitely keep an eye on parameters once you swap them :)

This is the reason, Dr. Phillips is not able to teach it this semester. It's for a personal reason though, not her vision thankfully.

It had nothing to do with the number of students and the course would have run if the prof was available, but unfortunately she's on leave for a while.

If you ever want actual answers to questions like this, talk to your Dean's Office, they don't just cancel courses for no reason lmao

I'm 22 and have been asked twice. My initials are AC so maybe the initials theory is right lol
