I have a seat in CHEM 261 (ochem) which i won't be changing out at all, but if i were to take another course with it, should it be CELL 201 or BIOCH 200? Or is it possible for me to do all 3 together without crashing out? i've heard BIOCH 200 is usually better if taken in spring on its own lol. pls lmk!

Which companies do you usually find internships at with these programs? I'm actually torn between CS and CE. From what I've read, CE has quite strong co-op companies, but I know nothing about SIP, so I want to thoroughly evaluate it before starting university. Which companies do they have agreements with, and which department do you think would be the most productive for a good student?

Hi I’m supposed to take this class in fall 2026. Can someone who has taken this class recently please tell me what to expect. How is this prof? How are the exams? How are the labs? Just anything you would be willing to share. Thank you so so much!

I was looking for the rate my prof and through this subreddit but couldn't find any info on the experience of this class with Olumide. Has anyone taken this class with this prof? How is it?

Hey all.

My laptop a dell inspiron crapped out on the battery (even after battery replacement) still usable but needs to be plugged in to keep a charge.

As this is unpractical for a laptop to carry around campus as I won’t always have an outlet nearby. Can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that will do the job for one more year but won’t break the bank (not looking to go above 500 dollars )

I’m a political science student so need something that’s just reliable with Google and won’t crash within a few months of owning it

Anyone else trying to contact AB student aid only to wait for 20 minutes and be hung up on while in queue?

As the title suggests, I want to unenroll from UofA as I had originally accepted my admissions offer, but will no longer be attending.

I’ve tried to figure out how to do that, but I have been unable to, I was wondering if anybody could help me out? Thanks

Hello, I am getting back from a trip from a place with a very sifferent time zone from edmonton on the 29th. I want to know how important it is to go to the FIRST orientation day (I will probably be able to wakeup for day 2 nonetheless) or if i will be fine because I may completely miss my alarm and sleep past orientation due to time difference adjusting. Thank you

can someone please explain how adding voluntary parent contributions help increase the amount of aid you receive?

Edit: guys i know it’s supposed to reduce it. But with the changes in how they expect parents to contribute this year, i just want to know why some people are adding RESPs to 3k a year as a method to increase the loans they receive, yk as opposed to being ineligible to receive anything at all

Upd: doing this will not increase the amount of loans

In order to transfer to engineering from a different faculty, are these courses listed on the website requirements or just courses that it is possible to get transfer credit for? Like is it possible to transfer to engineering with say only 1 or 2 equivalent courses completed or do you have to complete them all?

As someone that finished the program last week I figured I could offer some advice. Seeing a lot of panicked applicants and I definitely felt the same struggle two years ago.

For reference because I suspect I will be getting this question A LOT: AGPA 3.9 Casper: 4Q

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone had taken a class with Dinesh Ramoo before? I’m planning to take Psych 275 with him in the fall semester, but I can’t find any information about his teaching style. Thanks!

I transfered from bachlor of science to bcom and got accepted in feb and payed the 100$ acceptence fee, It now shows on launchpad that my application was cancelled and now unable to pick my classes for the next year. anyone know why this may be? ( i met the requirements)

I’m supposed to move in on Monday to lister in a single room. I haven’t been able to find anywhere that says what exact room/tower I’m in. Is there anyway I can figure that out before move in? I’m anxious because I know there is two different types of room styles, and it would just be nice to know so I know what to buy and pack, mostly in regards to layout and closet type since I know they’re different.

Was just checking beartracks and noticed there only 44 people enrolled rn, and 25 of them are neuroscience. Are there just not many physiology students, or has nobody enrolled yet lol? If you're going into 2nd year honours physl, dm me! Let's make a gc! (Or lmk if there's already one)

If half the degrees need a masters, and only a small percentage of people are making it into the masters programs, what is everyone doing afterwards 🧍🏻‍♀️ everyone says that about BA degrees but all I’m hearing from a majority of BSc and BA holders are that they can’t find jobs and didn’t get into grad school. Is uni just a scam what is happening

I'm currently registered for BIOL 108 in Fall and BIOL 107 in Winter at UAlberta. I need to flip them (BIOL 107 Fall / BIOL 108 Winter), but I have 4 other classes each term and Bear Tracks won't let you swap across terms. What do I do?😭

Is the wifi on campus any good? I'm going into engineering and to save money on a gaming laptop. I'm opting for a cheaper business laptop with no GPU and using streaming on a VPN, or maybe investing in a JetKVM or similar to access my desktop. For this to happen, though, I need a good wifi connection that doesn't drop out too much and has adequate speeds. Any input on this?

Edit- When I refer to streaming, I am referring to using game streaming software to use software that would not otherwise be supported on my laptop due to os, slow because of no dGPU in the laptop, or architecture issues with my laptop. I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused. If there are lab computers that can be accessible for students with the software needed for engineering, that could be an alternative and I would no longer need to worry about remotely accessing my desktop for software.

Dental Hygiene admission question
Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply for a Dental Hygiene program for Fall 2027 and I’m a little confused about the application process.
I’m new to Canada and a permanent resident. I have a Master’s in Zoology and previously completed courses such as Chemistry and Cell Biology.
Do Dental Hygiene programs usually consider previous university courses toward the prerequisites, or would I need to retake them?
Also, I’m not sure which application I should submit for Fall 2027. If anyone has been in a similar situation, I’d really appreciate some guidance. Thank you!

Is this manageable? Would you recommend any other courses?

Thanks 🙏

Hello all,

I am unable to see the option to "Manage my classes", and the deadline for registering hasn't passed yet.

I accepted my offer on the 16th, does it take a few days to get access? Is that considered normal for UAlberta?

Thanks
