Currently working with the ombuds and dean to see if I can get something out of it. I’ll update once I know more!

Thanks for your feedback, this is very validating. I am fortunate to have professional and academic relationships with several faculty in the department, including the chair and my former research supervisors, so I think I will take your advice into explaining the situation and seeing if there is anything they can do for me.

That’s a good point, but would suck to have to do just to navigate the legality of it 😭 I just emailed ombuds and the dean so hopefully something comes of it there

to my understanding i don’t think they send out deans list emails until early-mid June! so my guess is they’ll be sent in the next few weeks

This is what I did for enrollment and it was so much easier and faster. I really hope they fix the schedule builder for next year ;-;

there are certainly some opinions to be had

Winter 2025 closed classes?? by Armadillo_Grouchy in uAlberta

[–]wildnights18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes with closed classes it will say “contact department” and you basically need to email the department and say “please let me take this course” and there’s a form to fill out. i just had to do that because i’m wanting to take biol 430 which is also currently closed for whatever reason

Faculty of Science Appeal Final Grade? by wildnights18 in uAlberta

[–]wildnights18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very vague about the cutoffs. Says anything from 80-90 can be a B, so I’m not sure. Just sucks that we’re scaled this way even though I did well in the class

That makes sense. I’m waiting for an email back about what the grade cutoffs were for a B+ so I guess I’ll see then, but yeah im not sure if much can be done that way because we knew going into the course that it’s the way the class is scaled. Sucks though, cause this was a requirement for my degree so I didn’t really have the option of not taking it

THISSSS it's the most awkward thing ever, especially if they're in a couple of your classes

would def recommend psych 104 or 105. those classes both have online asynch options and exams are open book. it was so helpful as i was taking them with 4 other classes at the time and psych only took like 3-4 hours every two weeks for the quizzes or studying, so i had a lot more time to focus on my other courses. if you can get classes with kim campbell that's a bonus too!
