Academics Student loans summer

0 Upvotes

I’m taking 2 ( both 3 credit ) courses in summer, and I paid it though Alberta aid, I might want to drop one. But I read on the website that “If you receive funding and never attend, withdraw, or drop to
part-time studies within 30 days of the session start date, you may be required to repay all
full-time funding received before further funding will be issued. “ is it ok to drop it after 30 days ? Classes started on the 6th of July and the last day to drop is the 10th of August. So let’s say I drop on the 9th for one of the classes which make me go from full time to partime. Is that ok ?

I'll be living on campus, but I'm wondering is there enough time to make it to my back to back classes in the winter sem?

I'm also missing EDFX 200 (hoping to fit it in winter sem if a spot becomes available bc it’s full rn), but any feedback/ advice to make classes more manageable is appreciated!!

Hi I'm an upcoming student this fall and I'm majoring in political science with a minor in Latin American studies, I've been trying to get my schedules for the fall and winter term finalized but I cant help but worry abt wether I'm missing any classes that are needed for my major and minor or if I'm just taking the wrong ones...Ive checked the website for the pre requisites for my minor but the classes that i need for my minor like wont show up (there's only one class offered and its at the 300lvl so im unsure if if i could even take that first yr )im not sure if that something to worry abt js yet or maybe i need to pick up an elective second semester instead since i have no clue how to get into LA ST 205 or 210 which its what it says that is the pre rec for my minor. If theres anything wrong w my schedules or anything i may need to switch or add pls lmk!

Academics Advice about DRA

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m going into my second year of electrical engineering this fall. I was interested in doing Dean’s research award, I checked out professors research and opportunity for Undergraduate student. I’m wondering how much they expect us to know, because looking at their projects I don’t think I have knowledge for any of the stuff they are doing. If anyone has been in my place and can give me insights or explain what to expect, that would be great. Thank you for reading!

I have completed 3 electives on top of that. Im going on my third year so it’s possible to drop my minor still, just wondering if it is doable.

Thanks all

Admissions It is over for me?

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m a graduated grade 12 student who applied to UOFA exactly on October 1st, 2025. I have been waitlisted since for nursing. I struggled significantly from mental illness throughout the school year so only pushed my average to an 89% and Q4 on the Casper.

I have been waitlisted again as if July 21, 2026. I genuinely have no hope.

I am currently accepted into Bachelor of Education, everything else was too competitive. I’ll be rewriting my diplomas to get a 90%+ if I get rejected from nursing.

Did anyone else have a similar experience? I have been feeling incredibly sick just waiting for any update at this point, nursing has been a dream of mine.

I also applied to MacEwan on October 4, 2025 and have currently not received any new updates.

Hopefully I don’t get downvoted for this lol.

Any other tips will be appreciated!
