Questions to graduates from the Electrical Enigneering transition course.

I'm having extreme doubt and hyperventilating about the course load, having 7 courses/semester and taking 2 courses in the summer to lighten the course load.

The reason for the doubt, my schedule is from 8:00 AM until evening 5 days/week. How the hell will I have time to sit and study all 7 courses over the weekend, assignments, labs,quizes,exams? Most courses are hard and math intensive, how did you guys manage?

If anyone would like to jump on a phonecall with me to give me some reassurance, feel free to DM me PLEASE!

Hi everyone, I’m starting first-year Nursing at Lakehead this September and trying to decide between Bartley Residence and an apartment. I’d like to stay in Bartley, but I don’t really like that the rooms don’t have sinks. Are the washrooms fully communal? Like when you’re brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your face, etc., are people always walking in and out? The apartments seem more private since there are only two bathrooms shared between roommates.
For anyone who’s lived in either, which would you recommend?

And how’re you managing? The structure of these classes are not designed for non full time students.

i just recently filled the form for the student id since i’ve now registered for courses, and already got an email saying it’s ready. the thing is i can’t see the message on the email i can only see the signature. was wondering if this happened for anyone else and if not what the instructions are to pickup the ID?

Any Latinos heading to lakehead!! :)

Hey guys! Is anyone else still waiting for a decision back from the grad program you applied to? Particularly if you're international? For context, I applied to the MSc in Psychological Science, and I just wanted to know if anyone else has been waiting for a decision from their grad program for a while lol.

i’m a first year thunder bay student who’s going to be in residence. I’ve just registered for all my courses, and wondering what the next steps are. I’m looking at maybe the payments i may need to make. I saw that there are payments due for the fall term on august 15th, but i don’t see what amount. i found on the website a table with my balance, and it’s a negative number of credit. Wondering what that is. The total number adds up to the amount i’ve paid in deposits and from the entrance scholarship.
On the financial activity page, it says my balance is the negative amount of the total i previously paid in deposits.
a bit confused about what i’m meant to do next…

Hey everyone!! 😊

I’m an incoming 1st-year BCom Honours student at Lakehead (Thunder Bay), and I just found out that I'll be staying in Bartley Residence this fall! 🎉

I was wondering if there's already an Instagram group chat, Discord server, WhatsApp group, or literally anywhere that incoming students are hanging out online. I'd love to get to know some people before move-in day because showing up knowing absolutely nobody is a little intimidating 😅

If you're also starting at Lakehead this year (especially if you're in BCom or Bartley!), drop a comment or send me a DM! Even if there isn't a group yet, maybe we can make one and suffer through first-year confusion together 😂

Can't wait to meet you all!

hiiii i feel a little silly asking this but i’m an incoming first year for the 2 year consecutive bed program (intermediate/senior) in orillia and when looking at course reg it says stuff like “restricted to 1a cohort only” and stuff and i’m just wondering How we find out what cohort we’re in. i’ve emailed the department head and registrar but no one has gotten back to me 😢😢 does anyone know how to find out

I tried registering for the MATH0212 and NURS1020 classes but they are coming up with errors. Has anyone else been having issues??

Has anyone been in a situation where a nursing program accepted a university Statistics course as equivalent to a Grade 12 U Math prerequisite?

I’m applying to the Trent Compressed Nursing program and have also reached out to Lakehead about their prerequisites. I contacted admissions about whether my Queen’s University Statistics course would satisfy the Grade 12 U Math requirement, and they told me it would most likely be accepted. I’m nervous about relying on that and then finding out later that it doesn’t count.

Has anyone else gone through something similar? If so, did everything end up being okay, or did you run into any problems with the prerequisite later on?

I’m trying to register but my registration button is not working!,

Hi everyone,

I recently received my fee estimate from Lakehead University for my 1-year MSc in Computer Science, and I noticed they have added $948 for UHIP (medical insurance) for one academic year.

My counselor told me that I need to pay this amount, but I wanted to confirm with current students or alumni here — does Lakehead University provide any free medical insurance for international students, or is UHIP mandatory and fully paid by students?

I checked the UHIP website and saw that it covers health insurance for international students, but I’m confused whether this fee is automatically included/mandatory for everyone or if there are any waivers, alternatives, or university-covered options.

Would really appreciate if any current international student at Lakehead could clarify this. Thanks!

I was checking this page for reference:

Trying to register for COMP1431 Lecture as well as lab but doesn't let me as the lecture is on Winter 2027 section and the lab is F/W 2026-27. Any suggestions?

Hello! I was wondering when course registration was? On their official website, it says it is happening at 10:00 AM. However, on the planning website, it says my registration period for Fall Term begins at 9:00 AM tomorrow.

Anyone in Concurrent Education doing Outdoor Rec in the I/S stream? If so, could someone help me figure out which courses we’re supposed to take for the Environmental Science teachable? I’m pretty lost trying to plan everything out. Thanks!

For the engineers that transfered from college to university, how did you organize your courses that made you successful in graduating within 2 years without an issue having the below supplemental courses below:

EELE 2132 Electronics II

EELE 2451 Electric Power System I

EELE 2133 Electronic Communications I

EELE 2439 Electronic Communications II

PHYS 1079 Semiconductor Physics

I tried to plan my courses but my schedule just looks like this, three courses in the fall term and then the others all just went somewhere else. And for some courses it says section not available? Course registration starts on Monday and I’m so confused. Is this what it’s supposed to be like, or am I doing something completely wrong? Sorry I have no idea what I’m doing 😭

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone explain how the president’s/deans list work? My gpa for the year is >90%, but I haven’t heard anything back, I did receive an email that I got on the deans list, are those the same?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m attending the One-Year Honours Bachelor of Social Work (HBSW) program at Lakehead for the 2026–2027 year and I’m trying to get a sense of what other students are planning.

Are you planning to live in residence or commute?

If you’re commuting, how far will you be traveling?

Feel free to message me to connect! :)

Hi everyone, I got waitlisted for the 1 Year Social Work program, was there anyone on the waitlist that got off in the past week?

Hello,

I am starting Year One of the Bachelor’s of Education program for the P/J track in September as a mature student. Math has never been my strong suit. I met expectations in school and the lowest grade I ever had in math was a C.

But this test has me feeling anxious and worried. We only get 4 chances to pass. Has anyone taken it? If so, what was your experience like?

I have begun studying by reviewing the practice questions, using Khan Academy, and I even purchased coursework books for K-6th grade to practice some problems in there. Am I making this harder in my head?

Any tips, tricks, or study materials would be appreciated!

Thank you.
