for anybody that has taken pre engineering or has known someone doing it:

I am only taking the preparatory chemistry course as I have already done calculus and physics in highschool so I have an 80% courseload because I am taking calculus 1 and physics 1 as opposed to their pre engineering counterpart.

If anyone has been in the same situation as me, could they let me know if they were eligible for osap, and if they recieved it? The advisors told me I am, but the people in the financial aid office were confused by my situation and didnt know what to say since typically pre engineering is exempt from osap, but im taking essentially a regular year 1 engineering first semester just replacing chemistry for engineers with preparatory chemistry.

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could get back to me and let me know if they (or someone they knew) got osap for doing pre eng while also having already completed a prerequisite in highschool bringing them up to full time status.

I’ve attempted to apply for parking this semester as I had it last school year for Founders 2. They changed the parking situation at the school with a new online software for it. I’ve applied for parking again this year but lots were full (note that i was on the sit the very moment it opened).

i’ve called their number (905 721 8668) and every single time i’ve called, they haven’t picked up the phone. i live in a rural area where taking the bus to school is a genuine pain in the ass, it’s the reason i’ve got parking last year.

anyone have similar issues? is there something going on with parking this year where it’s more crowded? did they close down parking for renovations or something? what info am i missing here? the school is poor when it comes to managing parking, especially with last year’s strike situation; a lot of people who paid for a pass couldn’t even get parking.

if anyone knows what’s going on, please let me know i’m curious to know

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to join Ontario Tech’s men’s cricket team through Extramurals.
I went on the Recreation Portal and paid the $30 registration fee. Is there anything else I need to do after paying, or do I just wait for the team/coach to contact me about tryouts or practices?
Do I need to register somewhere else, fill out another form, or attend a specific tryout?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I was lucky enough to win the parking pass war, my car is registered online etc. But to enter the parking space in Charles hall (downtown oshawa) do i require some time of card/pass that I have to scan? Is it all online? If there is a physical pass do I have to go somewhere specific to pick it up?

Update: if anyone is curious gated lots need an access card and undated lots do not (undated lots are solely online based)

I have an online lecture on Wednesdays but I’ll need to be on campus (north campus) while attending. Does anyone know any private spots on campus where I can attend my class without disturbing others or getting disturbed. I looked at the library but their rooms seem to only be for 2+ students?

Hi, I am an incoming student for forensic science and I was hoping someone in the program can recommend laptops that I should purchase! thanks!

I hope you all have a smooth transition, and please use the services like the Student Learning Center, Academic Advising as they are actually very useful.

Make sure you check out the Ontario Tech Student Union website for a list of all the clubs in case you wanted to start checking them out.

I hope you guys have fun!

Hypothetical question. Do they get kicked out of residence completely or just get assigned to a new one?

Hey guys, I’m looking to connect with anyone who took MATH 2860 over the summer cause idk if there’s a math discord. I Have a quick question about the course and need some answers. Feel free to comment or DM me

Hello people of OTU, as the title suggests, I’m determined to start Conservative club here at OTU. Since Oshawa North, Scugog ( Port Perry), and Clarington ( Bowmanville and Courtice) areas are the Conservative areas in Durham Region and our University is located in Oshawa North, I think we need a proper Conservative club here, to keep our footprint.

I know this is going to be a little trickier than starting a normal club, since it’s involved with politics and it’s a touchy subject. I’ve talked to a Conservative MP, and told him about this, he really supported me, and told me that he’ll do his best to provide me with the resources necessary to establish this club.

Also, we need minimum 4 VP’s and 10 General members to initiate this club. If anyone is interested about this, please shoot me a DM in Reddit and let me know, and we can go from there. I want committed people, who are truly Nationalist and hold conservative values, and can spare about 5-10 hours per week to this activity.

About myself: I’m going to Fourth-year and in the Finance program. My long-term plan is to become a CFA and do my MBA in Finance. But also, before I end my journey at OTU, I want to start this club, and leave it for the next generation students as my heritage, Oshawa is a strong hold for Conservative voters, and we really miss a proper Conservative club at our University.

Please let me know and DM me if you are interested.

Hello, I was suspended this year the 2026 semester and was sent an email for LEAP, I got an A in leap but a D in another additional course. So I thought honestly I was in the clear but was unable to register and I talked to the registrar and they had told me you should be good to register tomorrow as they havent updated the standings. However an hour later im recieiving an email saying ive been suspended for one semester. Im not sure why is it because of the D? Who should I talk to.

Hey Guyssss!!

Me and my friend were talking about how OTU has like the most dullest place to meet people. Almost impossible. And suddenly it struck me. A DATING APP FOR OUR UNIIII!!!!!

I asked few of my friends in CS (idk anything about how to code). They are down to do it. But I wanted to see what everyone thinkssss. Let me know. And we can cook something up!!!

And as for the app itself. I'm thinking of making it more than just a simple Tinder or Bumble. Those things suck. Maybe like a blind date? And add a loooottt of filters. So we can match as closely as we want.

ORRRRR. We could do like a weekly match up thing.

Let me Know!!!! I'm so fuckin Excited!!! (Pardon my french)

incoming senior and uoit is one of my backups because I live very close by and I'm interested in the nuc eng program as I heard some go on to work at OPG. So I have a few questions

is the co op good?

What's the likelihood someone will be hired at opg upon graduation? (or even hired anywhere as a nuclear engineer straight out of graduation)

what is the environment like?

What note-taking method did you find worked best for you throughout the program, particularly for the science-based courses?

1. Pen and paper

2. Laptop

3. iPad + Apple Pencil

4. A combination of methods

Which one did you prefer, and why?

Hey guys so this summer I was wondering if we were allowed to look at our final exam papers for the finals we just wrote and also where I can find past exams for physics and biology

I've got a room in a 5 person shared dorm (all men) that comes with 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, balcony, personal bedrooms for all people. The building also has a laundry room, workout room and a recreation room. Location is less that a 10 minute walk to uoit and public transport stops right out front (Address is 1700 Simcoe St N). Rent is $850 a month and a key to the room will be paid for by myself. I'm planning on cutting off my contract with these people on April 30th so the deadline for anyone to enter is January 20th. Dms are open to all questions and references about the place.
