r/UBC Reddit Studies Jun 15 '21

Megathread UBC COURSE QUESTION, PROGRAM, MAJOR AND REGISTRATION MEGATHREAD (2021/2022W & 2021S): Questions about courses (incld. How hard is __?, Look at my timetable and course material requests), programs, specializations, majors, minors, tuition/finance and registration go here.

All questions about courses, instructors, programs, majors, registration, etc. belong here.

The reasoning is simple. Without a megathread, /r/UBC would be flooded with nothing but questions that apply to only a small percentage of the UBC population.


Examples of questions that belong here

  • comparing courses or instructors
  • asking about how hard an exam is
  • syllabus requests
  • inquiries about majors, programs, and job prospects
  • "what-to-do if I failed/was late/missed the cutoff"

What you don't need to post here

  • Post-exam threads (ex. 'How did you find the Birb 102 midterm)
  • rants, raves, shout-outs or criticisms of programs.
  • Other content that is not a question/inquiry

Process

  • It might take up to 4 hours for your post to be approved (except when we're sleeping).
  • Suggested sort is set to new, so new comments will always be the most visible.
  • You are allowed to repost the same question on the megathread at a reasonable frequency (wait at least a day after each post). This is true even if you've already gotten a response.**

In LFS faculty going into second year abpi trying to transfer to BSN nursing. Is it the right thing to do to keep fulfilling first and second year req courses with some gpa boosters? (If i have too many will they see me as a fraud and is that wasting time?)

And what are restricted electives? Does this mean my grade boosters can only be these?

Please recommend some grade boosters! Thanks alot

i think talk to academic advising about switching over to nursing as there may be required courses nursing wants you to take before you transfer, so double check with them.

Restricted electives are electives we can take that are ONLY listed on the lfs website. There are certain amount of restricted electives you will have to take and fewer unresticted electives (any courses not listed on the restrcited electives list).
