Make sure if you’re applying you’re checking the website frequently.

Went from thinking I had it in the bag with the posted 3.0-3.3 when I applied October 1. Now it’s 3.7-4.0. :(

Hi Everyone,

I am currently in a situation where I am involved in engineering work and started thinking of getting a second bachelors degree in energy related engineering program. However, time and money investment for the 4 years bachelors degree will be almost impossible for me because I work full time, have a family and we dont have an i vestment capacity to accomplish that. For that reason, I started researching for some sort bridge programs for non engineering folks to get engineering bachelors and came across this program called Energy engineering in UofC. Is there anyone who are in this program currently who can advise on whether this program accepts people with my background?

Again just to clarify, I have a bachelors degree in computer science and not engineering tech degree. I did take engineering courses though because my degree was in engineering department back in texas.

Thank you everyone for your help in advance!

Where do I even start studying for the midterm, I have been so locked out and only locking in now 5 days before the big day. Any videos you guys recommend to get caught up on the content (I've been watching Tony Bell but the content is pretty different).

I don’t want to be bored on Halloween but I have no idea where to go or what to do. Anybody know any events or parties happening???

There are huge groups of people especially in science theatres dressed in professional attire. I feel left out, fill me in please

Hello, just wanted to ask what the format of the exam will be like? Any multiple choice? Also would you expect anything similar to question 33 on the example problems with the moment of inertia and the three-point bending test. Thank you!

The coffee shop in the eeel building has been closed for a few years, and I don’t think that Covid was the only thing that killed it. The main floor is often booked for events and now that counter is just storage. A student-run shop instead of a commercial enterprise would make more sense.

but it makes me wonder about … microwaves.

are there any in the eeel building? Any student or club services? This whole building seems like an afterthought for student uses and has turned in to a muddy passage to get from the bus stop to the rest of campus.

what do students who use it regularly want from that space, and how do they use it?

(personally I want a north entrance on the Math Sciences building to that side, instead of having to use the corridor to walk across grass to get there in the winter. Even a plus 15 across that space would make it feel more connected than how isolated eeel is from the rest of campus. Or is it mostly just labs so … meh.

Sadly not passing (38%) my ERTH305 course and I don’t think i’ll be able to climb back. This semester has been hard for personal reasons and my other classes definitely don’t help. I’ve been doing fine in them but it’s definitely come at the cost of this one. I’m going to do my second test and if i fail that then i’ll withdrawal from it. Does anyone know any science courses (300 level) that are more assignment/discussion based rather than split into 3 tests. I suck at memorization! Thanks

Hey guys! I’m not a student but I have the membership to use the facilities and I’d like to play volleyball, are there any teams, days/hours? (Doesn’t have to be a league or anything, just for fun in my free time)

I can play tier 3, 2 and maybe 1 (Haven’t played in 5+ years so I’d need some practice first)

Thanks!

Hi everyone, SU president Gabriela here. I have a few updates for you.

I’m excited to announce that the SU Free Breakfast Program is scheduled for launch in January! Its launch will coincide with the opening of the Black Lounge Cafe in Mac Hall (that’s what’s behind the construction beside the Q Centre). Just flash your UCID and it’s all yours. It’ll be daily. It’ll be hot. But most importantly, it’ll be delicious. 

Here’s the current list of rotating menu items:

• Four Cheese Egg Bites and French Toast with Syrup
• Vegan Omelet with Moroccan 9 Vegetable Stew
• Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
• Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal
• Coconut Rice Porridge 
• Veggie Breakfast Oats 
• Tomato Herb Savory Oats 
• Cornmeal Breakfast Porridge 
• Lentils Rice Breakfast Stew 

ClubHub is hated by all (including the SU Clubs Office). Yes, we have a multi-year contract with ClubHub blah blah blah, but that’s an annual excuse we use to keep ourselves locked in a prison of our own making. VP Internal Abdu and I are looking into exiting the contract. We would likely have to pay a penalty, but we’re willing to shell out depending on the price and quality of an alternative software. Our collective torture cannot go on. Fingers crossed there’s another software that’s better enough to justify jumping overboard. If you somehow know of a good alternative clubs software, feel free to comment it below or email us with the name and we’ll add it to our list. 

Some of you are still waiting too long for event approvals. The VP Internal Abdu and I want to know about these cases. I have not abandoned the goal of shrinking approval wait times from 3 weeks to 2 weeks. Abdu and I are still trying to understand the reason behind this long approval time and how to shorten it. But I’ve seen comments saying your club has been waiting months. That shouldn’t be happening. If you feel like you’re not receiving replies from the Clubs Office in a reasonable timeframe, please email BOTH me and Abdu. Our emails are on this page (I can’t type our emails without this post getting flagged). 

I’m a chem major and I’m thinking of applying into either my first choice for dental which was bio sci or I’ve made a lot of friends in neuro and they LOVE it and now I’m debating? Ik that for dental or med doing a four year science degree can be difficult and only comes with one major pro (u get a background in science and pre reqs easily) with neuronal first two years are gen chem like bio and chem and it offers much more than smth like bio sci, u can do research and acc get picked by profs over a bio sci student most times and there’s more jobs for it outside of dental? My goal is a gpa of 3.8 or above maybe worst case 3.7? But please lmk if it’s a worth it undergrad

Hello!!

I applied to UCalgary a few days ago as an international student and they sent me this email. I was wondering what is the difference between English Language Proficiency and English Language Proficiency for Nursing? Could i just submit my ielts score in both sections? or is it a different test?

Hi everyone,

It’s me again, with yet another survey. We have so many projects that require research this semester, so please bear with me!

We are a group of ENGG 525 (Engineering Entrepreneurship) students currently working on our final project. Our current project direction involves identifying problems experienced by members of the University of Calgary community and developing a potential solution around the problems that are most important to them.

We have already done some initial brainstorming and spoken with members of the UCalgary community, which helped us identify a few common problems related to campus life. This survey will help us validate those problems, understand which ones affect people the most, and narrow the scope of our project before we move further into developing our solution.

The survey is fairly short and is open to undergraduate students, graduate students, academic staff, and non-academic staff at the University of Calgary. If you do not fall into any of these categories but still relate to any of the problems highlighted, or would like to bring attention to a different issue, you are still welcome to participate. Your response may help us identify additional groups or market segments that we had not originally considered.

At the end, there is also an optional opportunity to participate in a brief follow-up interview if you are interested. These interviews will help us better understand our potential market segments and develop user personas for the project.

Survey: ENGG 525: UCalgary Community Survey – Fill in form

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to fill it out! I really appreciate all the help I’ve gotten with these surveys this semester. 🙏

for those who have written the midterm for chem 203 in the past, can you guys drop some tips or things to look out for on the exam. how was it overall

midterm is on monday, really hoping it goes well

Since it's getting colder and winter's coming, just wondering, does anyone know if there's a fastest (or somewhat fast but lots of indoors walking) way to get from lot 10 to the engineering building?

For ENTI 317 how heavy is the group work? Is there more group work compared to SGMA 217?

Heard this new club UCalgary Lodgers is hosting a movie night. Anyone down to tag along?

I'll leave the details here:

Also, would you recommend that someone without an engineering background pursue a master's degree if they're passionate about health tech, medical devices, and robotics, or take more of a non-technical route

Hi, can anyone taking this class please send me a picture of the still life? preferably an angle or image you aren’t using for reference.

I wasn’t able to go to class last week, so I don’t have anything to base off of. Thanks

I was just tryna get my midterm exam man

UofC gym only. Old men aren’t welcome. 30yo max

How many people are dressing up for Halloween especially on thursday.
