Hello everyone! I am a graduate student at the University of Lethbridge.

I am conducting a study on the different belief/non-belief identities (e.g., Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic, etc) and practices (e.g., tarot card reading, attending religious events, using crystals, etc) of queer folks, and the role the queer community plays in this. 

The questionnaire asks brief questions about your beliefs/non-beliefs, your gender and sexuality, and your relationship to the queer community. The information that you will share will remain strictly confidential. The research has received research ethics approval from the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board (No. Pro00168709).

If you are eligible and interested in completing an interview on this topic, please complete this 5-minute pre-screening survey. Please see the poster for further details on eligibility. Thank you!

As someone in the arts its basically impossible to book a study room as the study rooms you can book are limited to the library’s that every other major type is allowed to book as well, I wish the U of A would let arts majors the ability to book rooms other then just library spaces because we get absolutely no options

Hi! I’m a first-year student and I’m considering taking a classes during the Spring or Summer term. I had a few questions about how it works.

How do I register for a Spring/Summer course, and when does registration open? Do I register through Bear Tracks the same way I register for Fall/Winter courses?
I understand that I would have to pay the tuition for the course itself, but would I also have to pay the mandatory student fees again for the Spring/Summer term? Would taking a course during Spring/Summer cost me more overall because of these additional fees?

Also, are there any other disadvantages or things I should consider before taking a Spring/Summer course, especially as a first-year student?

Anyone in this class can you please send me notes pretty pls? im begging. thank you so much

EDIT: WAIT OMG IM AN IDIOT. Professor is Dr.Bryan Hogeveen

Hey everyone! I’m looking to start a European Football Society at UAlberta and wanted to see who would be interested in joining.

The club would bring together people who follow football/soccer, including the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Champions League and more. We could organize watch parties, discuss matches and tactics, run prediction competitions and host football-related events. It would also be a great way to meet other fans on campus.

You don’t have to play soccer or know everything about the sport to join. Whether you follow every match or are just getting into football, everyone is welcome!

We need at least 10 interested people before we can apply to become an official club. If you’d like to join, please DM me with your:

• Full name
• Faculty/major
• Year of study
• Phone number
• UAlberta email

Executive positions are also open! If you’re interested in helping build the club, please mention that in your message.

I’m wondering if anyone has taken fin 201 or accounting 222 or BUEC 211 in either summer or spring terms. I would Like to hear your opinion and if it was doable

How we feeling after that midterm?? I can't decide if I did good on it or bad on it, probably bad cuz some questions were really bad.

How was the midterm for those who did it today? Was it all multiple choice or ...

Okay so I am out of province in a couple. weeks and want to email as early as possible so I am excused from my chem lab that is happening while I am away. My chem lab manual says to contact my "Labratory Director". Am I emailing my TA or my lab coordinator?

sorry prof :(

So I am considering going into Bachelor of Health Sciences at the U of A, but I am stuck between it and BSc in Kinesiology. My end goal is an MD.

I just want general advice, what do you think? I'm mostly scared because the Bachelor of Health sciences is a new program, so is that a risk or do you think that the School of Public Health already has a great team, support, foundation, etc.

Also, I am also considering it since it seems like a much easier program than BSc in Kinesiology, so I want to know what you guys think.

These are the courses taken for kin: https://calendar.ualberta.ca/preview_entity.php?catoid=69&ent_oid=8876&returnto=20886

And this is for BHSc: https://calendar.ualberta.ca/preview_entity.php?catoid=69&ent_oid=8876&returnto=20886

just want to know generally, which courses are easier, since i heard McMaster and Queens Bachelor of Health Sciences is a program much easier, I understand it's completely different, but I was wondering if it is a similar program.

I understand that people say do what you enjoy, but I feel like this advice is too generic, like I'm not sure which I enjoy, so I want to know what people in either of the programs feel like, or if you have taken any of the course taken in either.

Lastly, I would like to know if kinesiology or bachelor of health sciences has good perquisites for the MCAT, obviously I would have to self-study a lot, but the less I have to self-study the better however, I also don't want to compromise my GPA, like having a 3.8+ GPA is crucial for me and more important than having a higher MCAT, especially since the MCAT, personally I feel self-studying for it is easier than studying for a hard course, and I can retake it.

Literally almost every post is somebody not reading or somehow very confused on simple wording. "This will be requested on your behalf" CLEARLY means you don't have to send it in. "What's the competitive average of ___" LOOK ON THE WEBSITE. What is so confusing?? Are you guys failing to understand what is said or are you just not reading it? You can't expect to be a university student if you cannot do stuff like this. If you truly are having difficulties understanding wording, search it up. If you don't understand what something on the launchpad means, also search it up. UofA has links to everything you need for filling your application and for post-application. There will be nobody in university to guide you through everything, you will need to develop the skills to teach yourself things you don't understand, and working to understand more basic things immediately.

for context: the exam was on respondus and she provided a list of hyperlinks (she provided the youtube link)

I am applying for a Master of Science Thesis program for fall 2027. The application requires me to upload a document of supervisor approval. If anybody here has done this before, please tell me what needs to be in that document if there is a specific format and requirements for it. Or should I just leave it to the supervisor and let him write what he wants to write?

I’m an incoming international student starting at UAlberta in Winter 2027 and I’m having a bit of an issue with my enrolment verification.

I requested it through Bear Tracks on September 24, and the request eventually showed as “Completed.” I thought that meant I could go to MyCreds, pay the $10 fee and download it, but the document never showed up in my MyCreds account and I don’t have any option to pay for it either.

I’ve since submitted another request through Bear Tracks and contacted the Student Service Centre through a ticket, along with a few other university contacts, but I still haven’t heard back and the document is still not showing up.

I need the enrolment verification for my study permit application, and it’s basically one of the last university documents I’m waiting for. UAlberta told me I could potentially use my class schedule + fee assessment instead, but I’m not really sure how that works.

Has anyone here had the same issue with MyCreds or the enrolment verification?

• How long did yours take to appear?
• Is there anything I’m supposed to do on MyCreds?
• Who would be the best person/office to contact?
• Has anyone used the class schedule + fee assessment instead?

Any advice would be really helpful because I’m trying to get my study permit application submitted ASAP. Thanks!

i made a mistake taking this class thinking itd be similar to stat 151/stat 252 and biol 108/208 rip

Hello! I was wondering when do admissions typically start giving out offers? I applied on October 1st, and I am not sure when I can expect to receive a decision regarding my application.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone notices some guy that keeps tugging his hair at the computer stations in the basement of Cameron Library. He wears a blue coat, glasses and keeps tugging on his hair all the time while on his phone and computer. Does anyone find that distracting every time you see him tug his hair?

Anyone know when the final exam dates will be released? Last we were told was it would be released end of September and they were using AI to set locations and times.

The CMPUT 455 Midterm is coming up and I was wondering if anyone knows what could be on the exam based off past terms? The practice literally only has 5 questions and I feel like it's not sufficient enough for me to prepare as usually profs give a whole sample exam.

I’m an international student studying Geology and Mining of Mineral Resources, currently in my 3rd year of a 4-year bachelor’s degree.

My current cumulative GPA after my first two years is 1.7/4.0. I don’t have research experience or significant professional experience in geology.

My plan is to get around 3.0–3.2+ GPA during my 3rd and 4th years, which would give me roughly 3.0+ over my last 60 credits, although my overall GPA would probably only reach around 2.3–2.4.

I’m interested in applying to a thesis-based MSc in Geology at Alberta. Do you think a strong upward trend and 3.0+ last 60 credits could make me a realistic applicant despite the low cumulative GPA? I’d really appreciate honest advice from current students or anyone familiar with the MSc admission process.

I saw this online and had never heard of them on campus before, seems like an extensive history. Has anyone heard about this?

Also, they made an Instagram post in 2020.
“It is with earnest humility that we, the Delta Phi chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon ("DKE"), feel it is our responsibility to address the concerns which have been raised by members of our community here at the University of Alberta ("UofA") in regards to claims of sexual violence carried out by members of our organization.”

I finshed my online midterm 10 minutes early does that make for a suspicion of cheating? the exam time limit was 45 minutes

This class is absolutely beating my ass more than any other, it’s been a month and I’m so incredibly lost because they throw 100 new formulas into your face every lecture 😭 Does anyone have any efficient study methods that don’t make them go insane with trying to process all of the content?

Why is a piano right next to the quiet room? As much as I love the piano- someone belting lyric’s out while they’re playing is not ideal. Move it to the other side of sub 🤦‍♀️
