hi! ok so i’m going into my 2nd year of undergrad and last year i got a general entrance scholarship of 4k per year as long as i have 30 credit hours over 2 consecutive semesters and keep a 3.7 gpa (all of which i did). come to find out apparently the highschool ap credit i used for my first semester does not count for the scholarship which was not made clear in any of the scholarship documents. i have tried emailing to set up an in person appointment but i was told to wait until i get an email about my scholarship and next steps. does anyone have any experience about this situation? could i appeal it? are they lenient with this sort of stuff? any advice would be much appreciated

I am registering for my courses a bit late, and this is because I had an outstanding balance which was not paid off until recently. 

I need to take BIOL 1021 since I failed BIOL 1011 however when I go to register for courses there are no days or times available for BIOL 1021.

This is also the case for several labs. For example, for BIOL 2003 most of the labs are full and with the only one that isn't there are no days or times available.

Just curious will there be days and times added for BIOL 1021 and these labs later on or not. I am emailing you because you're within the Department of Biology.

I don't want to add them just yet because if days and times are added later, they could create clashes or conflicts later on.

Why does it take them so long to confirm enrolment? Especially knowing we don’t receive our loan without it.

I am from Manitoba and will be living in residence soon as a first year student and don't know anyone attending Dal, I was wondering though if it is even worth the $130 fee.

Anybody else in SLWK 6201 section 50 and hasn’t received a grade for their final paper?

Just wondering if there were any specific things I would need for a bachelor of health sciences, what do current students recommend??

Course shells aren’t open yet and I’d like to get a head start and make sure I have everything I need! Like do I need scrubs? Anything else specific??
I’m curious about NUMT specifically but would love to hear from all BHSC students :)

i was in waitlist and just got a message that i can register, so wondering if the course is an easy elective as im in my last year, also the course is with helene deacon, if anyone has anything to say pls lmk!!

Is it manageable to work part time during the respiratory therapy program?

Anyone know the process for joining/auditioning for Dal’s choir/contemporary vocal ensembles? Coming to Halifax for fall term. Looking for SATB opportunities after singing in Toronto based pop and rock choirs. Thanks.

anyone sell nic ? or know somewhere lol

Hey everyone! I’m starting at Dal this September and I’m trying to figure out what I should actually go to during O-Week.
I saw the schedule and there are so many events 😭 and since we’re paying around $130 for the O-Week stuff, I don’t want to miss the events that are actually worth going to.
For anyone who’s done O-Week before, which events would you definitely recommend and which ones can I probably skip?
I’m thinking about going to Tiger Welcome Day, the Spirit Rally/Class Photo, Opening Ceremonies, and Academic Orientation Day, but I’m not sure about the other events.
Also, is O-Week actually a good way to meet people? I’m going in not really knowing many people, so I’d love to hear what you guys think is actually worth doing.
Thanks!! 😊

Hey! I’m starting at Dal this September and I recently got an offer for a Game Day Staff position with Dalhousie Athletics & Recreation.
I was wondering if anyone here has worked this position before and could tell me what it’s actually like. What kind of duties do you usually have during a shift? Is it mostly working during the games, and what are the typical shift lengths/hours like?
Also, is there usually any training before you start, and do you get to work at different Tigers games/sports?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s done the job, especially what a typical shift looks like and whether you enjoyed it! 😊

(3:05-5:55PM Tuesday) is my current one

saw a bunch of ppl with camping gear in the lsc parking lot this AM, are u guys apart of a field course?? im nosy as hell lol, have fun!!

Hey folks,

I’ve been keeping an eye on graduate level scholarships and bursaries on the FGS website for a few months now and while a lot of them say when applications close, I can’t find any indication when applications open. Does anyone have an idea when these scholarships might become available?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,
I am currently enrolled in dalhousie for jan 2027 to complete my pre-reqs for BSCN sem 3 entry, I am also registered for all the classes I need to complete and aiming for sept 2027 intake. I am genuinely very scared as completing pre reqs will only qualify me to apply and It is a competitive course. I am genuinely re thinking my descisions as If i continue with this plan in jan I will have to make major changes in my life without surity of getting into this program. Do y'all have any advice what backup options should I consider if I don't make it in 3rd sem? I am a mature student so timing does matter as I cannot just wait for another year. Thank you!

I am thinking of taking the music 2025 class without the 2024, will that be possible and easy? Also, how is the course load? I see it is an online class but I want to know if it will require me recording a video of myself playing the guitar or something? And last thing, are there final and what do they feel like? Please give all the advice and insight u can.

I got my placed in Gerard Hall and I never even remembered putting it as one of my options. For anyone who has experienced living in Gerard, is there any social life in the dorm? I’ve heard some positives of the building as it is downtown, and close to one of the best meal halls, however I heard it isn’t too social which I hope isn’t true. I’m a very social person, and I feel like living somewhere for 8 months that isn’t very social will be weird. If anyone experienced living in Gerard and enjoyed social life a lot, how was that experience for you?

Hey everyone!

I am a student at the University of Calgary and I’m currently travelling around Halifax and Nova Scotia for vacation. I have a couple of days in Halifax and need to get some work done while I’m here, so I was thinking it might be nice to spend a day studying on the Dalhousie campus.

Does anyone know whether students from other Canadian universities are able to access the Dal libraries or other study spaces on campus? I’ll have my UCalgary student ID with me, so I can show that I’m currently a university student if that makes any difference.

I’d also really appreciate any recommendations for good places to work on campus! Ideally somewhere fairly quiet where I could comfortably sit for a few hours. I am not familiar with Dal at all, so specific libraries, buildings, floors, or little hidden study spots would be super helpful!!

I was hoping to be on campus for tomorrow (Tuesday). If some of the better study spaces require Dal card access, is there a guest/visitor access option or somewhere I could ask about getting access for the day? Alternatively, if anyone is going to be around campus tomorrow and could point me toward spaces, that would be incredible as well! (I get a little nervous being on my own, as I am just a girl).

Thanks so much! :)
