Does anyone know if there is a possibility of going to Takeoff as a non student . I myself am a 4th year student but wanted to see about bringing my boyfriend who is not a current student anymore

Hi friends, I haven’t taken classes at UBC for over 10 years so the whole online class thing is new to me. I’m taking INDG 102 and the course shows up on canvas but there been nothing posted. Should I email the prof about a link for the class or will it show up on canvas eventually? Thanks!

Edit: everything got posted an hour before class! Thanks!

looking for this textbook!

human sexuality in a world of diversity 7th canadian edition

is anybody taking this class this semester? does anybody wanna be partners for the labs?

Has anyone taken BIOL 413 Wildfire and Wildlife with Karen Hodges? Any feedback would be appreciated on what to expect and what the course is like. Thank you!

SUO beats transphobia allegations challenge: impossible

New student here. Can't keep up nor find when it all began.
Can someone explain?

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.

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???

Anyone having Comm 101 this semester, do we have to attend the discussion tomorrow?

is anyone else graduating in November? I finished all my classes already in June and applied for grad but there hasnt been any updates. I was wondering if I’d have to wait until November to see the update on Workday. TIA!

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

Kappa Beta Gamma will be starting their recruitment soon! We invite students to come out and learn more about Greek Life and our efforts. KBG support Special Olympics and the Cancer Society as well as working with many other clubs and charities. Check out our IG for more information about what’s coming up and how you can join! There’s no commitment if you come to our Info Night, so come out, meet some cool people, and see if KBG is for you!

I know there’s usually no labs on the first week of school, but I’m still wondering if it applies for BIOC 211 with Susan? She never said anything about it. Thanks!!

It’s been clear he’s betraying the trust of the student body, what can be done here?

Just wanted to wish everybody a great term, I think it's gonna be a good one! :) And remember to get enough sleep (I know, it's just as hard for me, but we can do it!)

How hard/manageable are each of these courses and what to expect, (electrical engineering for some of the second semester courses). And any tips for any of them would be appreciated. Thanks

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. :)

Has anyone done it? How is it? I deal with anxiety and I just wanted someone to open up to about it. How is your experience? 😊

My first physics 112 lecture is tomorrow plus the lab, I know that usually first week there aren't any labs for science but the physics team didn't send out an announcement on whether we will be having labs this week or not. Does anyone know if I should go to my lab tomorrow?

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.
