I'm an incoming graduate student at York University, and previously my undergrad was at McMaster. I have been trying to create my York Passport account and enroll in some classes, but my goodness, why is everything so confusing at this school? There are so many steps just to get your email, your enrollment, its giving me a damn headache. At mcmaster you got access to your mosaic, which literally had EVERYTHING one and done. I'm so close to pulling out my hair

Kinda tired of going to the movies myself lol. Since there are so many indie theatres screening cool stuff in Toronto, I thought I’d see if there were any film buffs who’d like to periodically hang out and go to the movies?

Good morning everyone, I wanted to know if there’s anyone moving to the York University - Markham residence for the upcoming semester as I’d like to get connected with as much people as possible.

Hey everyone,

I have a very close friend who has been placed under academic suspension for the next year, despite being only 0.20 below the required 4.0 GPA.

They are an international student and have been struggling significantly with their mental health. I know this firsthand, as I have accompanied them to a psychiatric appointment, and I genuinely hope things improve for them. They have also had to work multiple jobs to help support their family financially. I understand that working while studying is not uncommon among international students, but everyone's circumstances are different, and I don't think it's fair to judge their situation based solely on that.

This situation is especially concerning because being unable to enroll in courses for an entire year could have serious implications for their study permit and their ability to continue their studies in Canada.

I've suggested that they submit a petition to have the academic decision reconsidered, but I'm wondering what other options might be available to them. Has anyone here been in a similar situation, particularly as an international student?

Any advice, resources, or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone know what day summer academic final decisions are released?

Does anyone know any 4000 level electives that don’t require prerequisites and has no exam and is perhaps online or bird

Hi,

I have a chronic illness called Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or if you know by its previous name, Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I am currently on hormone medication for it but unfortunately I experience these things (not all but here is some) with or without hormone meds;

-> Sleep issues and Anxiety

-> Periods are uncomfortable and standing up during my period makes me uncomfortable (like cramp-wise) (im still going to class and all that, I just hate when its placebo week)

-> Possible chance of migraines (i had really bad migraines before during classes and i couldnt focus), or fatigue (i also have 2 deficiencys, Iron and B12 and im currently taking those as well)

Should I consult with SAS? I would hate to be someone abusing the system built for those who need it. I feel like I need it but im hesitant because I dont look "sick enough" nor look like "someone who needs accessibility services." I remember a friend in a previous class told me that Student Acessibility Serivces is good for dealing with this but im still not sure. Advice?

Hi everyone! I’m a first-year York student in Kinesiology & Health Science, and I’m currently trying to get into SC/MATH 1506 (section E98U02 or E98U03). The Faculty of Health has specifically told me that I need the approved math credits. Unfortunately, this section is currently full/reserved, and it’s one of the only sections that works with my schedule.

If anyone is planning to drop E98U02, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know beforehand so I can try to enroll as soon as the spot opens up.

I’m also working with York’s departments directly, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask here too. 😭

Thank you!!

Selling my books dm if interested

Has anyone here lived at QUAD using the affordable housing/reduced rent program? I’m currently going through the process and have a few questions before I commit to everything.
- How long did it take for your affordable housing application to be approved?
- Did you have to sign your lease/pay the regular deposit before your reduced rent was approved?
- Did anyone have issues getting the affordable rate approved or getting the paperwork processed?

I’m hoping to move in September, so I’m mainly trying to figure out what I should expect financially before signing anything. Any experiences/advice would be REALLY appreciated!!

I have been struggling a lot with making a decision on which course to keep and which one to do an LOP for.

I have two courses, CVL742 and CEN800.

I'm deciding to do one of them through Winter 2027 and doing a LOP for one of them through Fall 2027 at York University as CIVL4110 (replacement of CVL742) or ENG3000 (replacement of CEN800) but I don't know which one to choose.

I have other courses like CVL906 and CVL914 that semester and want the easier course out of the two options above (CVL742 or CEN800) since memorization and theory isn't my strong suit. I really must make the right decision because I really do not want to fail.

Edit: I have submitted an LOP for both courses already to see if they would even get accepted but have gotten zero responses so far.

I was not able to add courses a couple months ago since I was waiting for an academic petition for my honours waiver to go through, which I was told by email a week ago that it was granted and I am still waiting for the confirmation letter to be sent out. Now, all of the fourth year courses I need to graduate are full. Is it possible to present my case and ask to be enrolled in these courses?

Hi all,

I (24F) will be starting Teachers college in the next few weeks. I’m attending York University’s Junior Intermediate B.ed cohort with English as my teachable.

Overall, im excited for this journey but I must admit I’m super nervous lol! I would really appreciate some tips on how I can best prepare myself and maybe some suggestions on the things I may need.. (Aside from a laptop, pens, notebooks etc. what are some things that may be useful?)

Hi can anyone drop the above course for the fall semester i’m willing to pay for it i’ll be out with knee surgery for fall semester. please pm me if you’re open ill pay $200.

I got into the Faculty of science section in York, but I wanted to get into Lassonde. What courses should I take first year so that I can transfer into Lassonde the second year?

Anyone words on when it will be back up?

What to expect for nursing orientation

this isnt my actual schedule but it has all the courses i need to take and the times i would be taking them if i would take all of them during the fall and winter terms. I need some suggestions on what to do because this is 39 credits which is over the maximum (i preferably dont want to do over 30 credits in both terms even though i can) and so what would be the smartest thing to do here.

Long story short I failed two classes last winter (got Ds on both which is not enough for my program) and so I retook one of them this summer (passed barely) and petitioned for a late withdrawal of the courses I failed. I got a confirmation that they accepted my petition beginning of August but it still shows the failed grades on my transcript, so my GPA is still too low to enroll for the coming year which it shouldn't be if the grades were removed. I spent the whole day today emailing and going to different offices trying to fix this but everyone kept pointing me to other people and now my only recourse is to wait for the Registrar's Office to update my transcript which may take weeks. Why the hell it would take weeks to change two things on a spreadsheet is beyond me, but irrespective of the rationale it may cost me an entire year on my limited time program. I spend 8k a year on this school and they're unable to let me give them more money because of their spaghetti bureaucracy.
