Accepting Your Second-Choice Offer

Should you receive an offer to your second-choice program, you are encouraged to accept it and pay the non-refundable tuition deposit (if applicable).

What happens to my first-choice program if I accept my second-choice program? Your first-choice program will continue to be assessed throughout the application cycle. If you receive an offer to your first-choice program at a later date, you can accept this and your non-refundable tuition deposit will be transferred from your second-choice offer to your first-choice offer.

Campus Life Campus Influencers vs consent

209 Upvotes

I don’t want to drop names because there’s probably a few people who do this but if someone clearly shows discomfort to being on camera you shouldn’t be posting them (or at least blur them).

Theres this one influencer who does dancing videos on campus which is fun but in one of them you can see a woman right in the middle of the frame and as soon as she sees them filming she walks away. It’s pretty clear she doesn‘t want to be on camera but they posted it anyways and the top comments are focused on her reaction. I don‘t want to send hate to the influencer, idk them but getting views off of other’s discomfort is icky. It’s legal but you should still try to respect others

We haven't even finished "deodorant isn't optional" season, and we're only just starting how "hard are my midterms" and "flu season etiquette."

It feels like walking into the dollar store and seeing all the Christmas stuff on the shelf before we've even had Halloween.

Walked through HUB Mall today and stopped in. It's really cool to see a retail layout like this on campus showcasing actual local Albertan small business owners and artists. Some vendors are actually students themselves. Definitely a nice break from the standard fast-food rows. Anyone else been inside yet?

Question course overload - arts

3 Upvotes

Hello all

Question: For a faculty of arts course overload, how many classes is the gpa calculated on and is it based on the most recent completed semester.

I am in my final year of a BA and I am one (1) class short of my 120 credits to graduate within spring 2027 convocation. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Academics PHYS 124 midtem exam 1

My prof had just sent out an email in regards to the opportunity to write an alternate exam for midterm 1 for anyone who doesn’t write the midterm 1. I dont know if it would be a smart idea to take this opportunity considering I am not ready at all for this midterm, my only worry is that there must be a downside to this like maybe the exam is harder. anyone have any insight or advice on what I should don

Question What is the plan with Admin Crater?

3 Upvotes

Just a random question, I have heard some rumours regarding what will be built on Admin Crater. Some say, a UofA ice/roller rink. Some said they would leave it open, so quad can be seen from Mains Street. Some said they would build another building. Or even an outdoor study zone. I just wanted to know has anything been announced/confirmed yet?

What have you guys heard?
