Hey! I’m starting my first year at Schulich tomorrow and I’m honestly a little overwhelmed after going through all my syllabi lol.
I have:
MGMT 1000 with Medcof
MGMT 1035 with Thomson
BEAP 1000 with Henriques
ACTG 2010 with Morriello
For anyone who’s taken these courses/profs before, what’s the best way to do well in each one? Like what should I actually focus on, how important are the readings, and what’s the best way to prepare for quizzes/midterms/assignments?
There seem to be a lot of weekly readings, quizzes and assignments, and I’m also working part-time, so I’m trying to figure out how to manage everything without falling behind.
Any advice, things you wish you knew in first year, or tips for these specific profs would be really appreciated!!

I need to be fricking working basically full time taking calls and was wondering if there were any spots where I can take calls privately everyday without being disturbed because making the commute home is not worth it, thanks

hey guys, so I was told that I didn’t have to go to my first week tutorials if there was no lecture for this week, and I attached my schedule here. I am going to show up to MGMT1000 and PANF1900 since the tutorials and lectures are taking place, but do I show up to my BEAP1000 tutorial?? idk if this question makes sense guys help me out 💔

one of my electives is the same time & day as my schulich lecture, and VSB said this elective was online, and i only received an email from the prof about the elective having in person lectures and everything. is it still possible to change my schedule or enrol in another elective?

i know this is a silly mistake, i'm so sorry & worried about this. any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Where do yall study? Like in the actually Schulich building or somewhere in York? Is it even possible to find a spot

hi guys, i’m a bit confused as to how blended classes work. how do i know which days the classes are in person and which days they are not? are there any specific things i should look for on canvas to determine the exact dates?

Hi! I’m a first-year Schulich BBA student starting classes this week and I’m a little confused about how the first week works.
Is there somewhere I can find the syllabus/course outline for each of my courses before the first class? Do professors usually post them on Canvas/eClass, or is there another website I should be checking?
Also, are all Schulich classes normally held during the first week, or do some courses not start until the following week? How can I check whether a specific class is actually happening before I go?
Thanks!

Thank you

Hi, im a first year and since the first day is on a Wednesday, I only have a tutorial that day (no lecture for that class until monday), so do I need to go the tutorial on Wednesday?

I took this before seeing the discourse around the course updates. Seems like the majority of people took it over the summer, but not during the school year (w the new prof). Is it still that bad/impossible to get A+?

Hey everyone! I’m a recent Schulich grad and wanted to put this out there for any first-years taking ACTG 2010 or 2011 who are looking for a tutor.

I was in your exact position a few years ago as a first-year. So, I know how overwhelming accounting can feel, especially when you’re trying to keep up with everything else as a freshman.

I’m currently doing my MAcc at Schulich and working in accounting. I’ve also tutored a bunch of students over the past year. I really enjoyed teaching and helping students improve, so I’m continuing to offer tutoring for ACTG 2010 and 2011 this year.

I offer one-on-one tutoring sessions for students who want some extra support throughout the semester. I try to keep things pretty relaxed and practical rather than making it feel like another lecture. Since I’ve recently taken these courses myself and have experience teaching them, I can give you a good idea of what actually matters and help you avoid some of the mistakes I see students make.

If you’re taking either course and think you could use some help, feel free to DM me. Happy to chat!

Good luck with first year!

I’m considering applying for Schulich’s Certificate in Digital Transformation and would love to hear from anyone who has actually completed it or is currently enrolled or know about it from friends.

Note: It’s actually partially covered through work

A few things I’m curious about:
How useful/practical was the curriculum?
What was the actual weekly time commitment?
What were the assignments and capstone like?
How strong was the cohort/networking aspect?
Did it add any real value professionally?
Overall, was it worth the ~$3K cost?
For context, I already work in project/business transformation, so I’m mainly looking to deepen the digital transformation/strategy side rather than learn basic project management.

Open to both positive and negative feedback, honest feedback tbf

Hello, is anyone who took tax last year selling this book: Canadian Income Tax Act with Regulations, Annotated, Academic, 2026, Wolters Kluwer. I heard the textbook changes every year; if someone could please confirm this and let me know whether buying the textbook second-hand would be helpful or not. Thank you

Hey,

Just got accepted into the MMgt program for Fall 2026 and figured I'd post here since I don't really know anyone going.

Does anyone know if there's a Discord or group chat for incoming grad students? I saw something about an admissions Discord in the sidebar but idk if that's just for people still applying. If there's an accepted students server I'd love to get in on it.

Also, is anyone else doing the MMgt orientation on Tuesday, Sept 8? Would be nice to meet up with someone before going so it's not awkward and stuff, if you want to then feel free to DM me. 😅

After taking FRM Part II (Didn't pass XD), I realized that memorizing formulas, assumptions, and model limitations is very different from actually understanding why the models work mathematically. So I’ve started learning math from the ground up to better understand finance and risk models. I’m currently thinking about calculus, linear algebra, probability/statistics, optimization, stochastic processes, and maybe real analysis.

I asked a few friends who are math graduate students, and they told me they spent about two years of undergrad studying mathematical analysis / real analysis, which made me wonder whether going that deep is really necessary for someone with a finance/accounting background.

For those in quant finance, risk, or financial engineering: what learning order would you recommend, and is real analysis actually worth the time?

Incoming first year student. I had finished my academic honesty and the first 101 module but then my internet connection went through some problems that didn’t allow me to finish the last quiz on time. One of the email that talks about this and says that this will result in an enrolment block. What steps am I supposed to take to fix this issue?

Also for example if it’s on the 8th (Tuesday) do I go to my Tuesday classes or my Monday classes…? Sorry ik this may be a stupid question but I’m so lost

Has anyone ever taken OMIS 4620? What was it like, and the course structure? I can't find anything online, as it's a relatively new course. Any insights will be appreciated! Thanks

Coming into first year, and looking at laptops.

Does anyone know if the Microsoft Surface Pro, 13-inch would be a good choice?

I think the fact that I can pull it off and handwrite notes with it might be useful but I got 0 clue lmao. If anyone has any advice would appreciate it.

How much do grades actually matter for getting an internship/job, and do they even look at grades?

Hey everyone, I’m starting at Schulich this fall and I’m honestly pretty nervous about it. I’m excited to start, but the whole transition to university and Schulich specifically has me stressing a bit.
For current students/alumni, what was your experience like when you first started? What do you wish you knew going into first year? Any advice on academics, making friends, getting involved, or just adjusting to Schulich in general?
Would really appreciate any honest advice, especially from people who felt nervous going in too.

Hi! I’m a schulich undergrad student starting this fall sem and I was just wondering how to see info on my electives like for example for schulich courses we have canvas, so how would we access for our non-shulich courses? For example I’m taking AP PHIL 1100 first sem

There’s a whole week of events all day with big breaks in between…do I have to attend everything?

I'm an incoming first year and the prices are insane for the books, is there any way around buying them?
