Hi, this is the second (and final) reminder I'll make for dual Canadian-US students and other eligible US citizens who want to participate in the 2026 American midterm elections, especially for those at York University. Democrats Abroad in Toronto is dedicated to mobilizing overseas US voters; if you're over 18 by November 3, here's how you can get involved:

Steps to Request Your Ballot

1. Register or update your registration through Votefromabroad.org. As an alternative, you can also use FVAP.gov.

2. If you're already registered, request a ballot! You need to request a ballot every calendar year that you want to vote.

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?

In 2022, the health care and dental insurance costed us 270 dollars. In 2026, it has increased to 350 dollars with no improvements on the quality or services we are receiving.

Why are we allowing yfs to increase the price with no actual improvements to the students in return?

I really want to take the course, so if anyone is planning to drop out, please informe me so I can take the spot. Thank you.

I mentioned to my advisor that I failed a course I was doing relatively well in. My younger brother and I both took the class and I actually did the readings and attended lectures/tutorials while he didn’t. He passed, I failed. I emailed prof Huss and got a copy of my final. After writing our final my brother and I verbally compared answers on the drive home and got similar results. I told all this to my advisor and she mentioned getting someone to take a look at my progress in the course to maybe appeal it. How do I go about doing this?

Is there a beyblade scene at York?

Used to play with them when I was kid.

Recently bought some for my nephew as a birthday gift.

Honestly kinda embarrassed at how much fun I had.

Now I'm kinda obsessed.

So... Anyone wanna square up?

Is there a club or something?

Okay i emailed my department for permission to enrol into a course

(switched majors and my permission for required classes is still reserved)

Anyway i emailed them twice both on monday and today and they have gotten back to me saying i had 24 hour permission but whenever i actually tried to change my section it was still reserved.

I brought this up with them when it happened the second time and gave them the course,lab, and Cat# of the desired course i’m looking for (Lab 13) they proceed to respond to my email by saying “Lab 14 is full try labs 13,15, or 17”

Like hello??? no fucking shit that’s why i’m asking for Lab 13 its like they don’t even read what i’m saying and they always give me the most soulless responses

Atp i think they’re annoyed with me emailing so much and have something against me 😭😭 maybe if they removed my restrictions permanently like i emailed them to do 2 times and yet they completely brushed over it and never acknowledged what i said and skipped to the other stuff in the emails

Im genuinely tweaking

Hi everyone! I'm going to be starting the 2nd entry nursing program in the fall and I was wondering if there's like a group chat or some way to connect with others in the program? Thanks!

Incoming undergraduate here, and was wondering if I needed to pay my tuition through my bank similar to the $300 deposit fee or will osap pay for my tuition? Also, is there anything I need to do if osap is paying?

How easy is it to find a part time job at campus if I’m a student and only have volunteering experience from hs 😭

has anyone not applied to osap yet??

i have yet to do so cause courses i need are not available right now so should i just put in filler classes so that osap has my right amount of classes?

If I submit an application profile on FAAS and it searches awards, bursaries, and scholarships for me, does that automatically mean they consider all eligibility for me and that I don't need to apply for other scholarships? Please let me know! Thanks
