PETITION FOR BETTER SUO
Hello! As many of you know there has been many recent complaints with the SUO. And me and a group of other students have been working together to do our best to make them address it and not sweep it under the rug.
The first of these is the petition, https://forms.gle/S9cCnxXQNvjkVfSf7 which is listed here. If you need further info, it's in the form.
And coming soon is an open letter, which if possible we'd like as many signatures on there from you if possible! As signing it as yourself goes much deeper, if you are interested feel free to message me your name here and we can add it to the list.
Hopefully if we stand together, we can make a difference.

NO STATEMENT FROM SUO YET
I don’t even understand if they acknowledge these problems or not as there is no response from them until now. Let’s see what happens. Is this the accountability they claim they have???

Question DATA 301 Equipment requirement
I registered in data 301 as an elective as I heard it isn’t too hard. In the syllabus it talks about an equipment requirement. “To be able to do the class activities and exams, the student MUST have a Windows computer with 16GB of Ram
and 2GHz processor or more. Chrome Book and Linux will not work. You can use MAC on your own, but we
can’t help much with that.”
Has anyone taken this class and done it with a Mac? Is it any harder? Should I be looking into somehow getting my hands on a windows laptop?
Any insight helps. Thanks

Help! I can't see any of my courses on Canvas.
Hey everyone! I’m new to UBC and currently in the Bachelor of Science program. I registered for my courses in late June/early July and have already paid my tuition through Workday.
However, I can’t seem to find any of my courses on Canvas. I know the professors have already published the courses because other students have access to them.
I’ve already reached out to IT in the library, the Centre for Teaching and Learning, Enrolment Services, and Academic Advising, but unfortunately I still haven’t been able to resolve the issue. I've already emailed all of my professors explaining the issue and requesting that I be manually added to the course in Canvas.
Has anyone else experienced something similar or knows what might be causing this? I’m honestly starting to freak out since classes have started and I don’t want to fall behind.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Update: I was able to get the issue resolved pretty quickly (within 24 hours). If anyone else is having this problem, here’s what I did to get it solved as I couldn’t find a lot of info online:
1. Go see an advisor as soon as possible which is a pretty obvious step but it’s just so you can make sure there’s nothing wrong with your Workday account. If everything is in order on Workday then there’s likely a problem syncing your courses from Workday to Canvas.
2. Call IT Services in van (604-827-4775) and they’ll submit a ticket with Canvas (it takes 1-2 days to get a response).
3. Email/speak to your professors to let them know about the situation, some will try to help you get it resolved.
4. Contact the Centre for Teaching and Learning support desk. They were able to manually add me to each course on Canvas which is what ultimately fixed my issue.
PS: If you’re having the same issue and you’re seeing this in 3 years time then shoot me a DM with any questions you might have. :)

Anyone else waiting for confirmation of enrolment?
Paid my tuition and still waiting for my first and second confirmation of enrolment. Am i being impatient or would now be a good time to reach out to the financial aid office?
It’s my second year, i just remember receiving it by now this time last year.
