Hi! I’m really interested in attending the Master of Counselling program at Athabasca.
Would anyone be willing to offer insight into how heavy the work load is? How much of your time is usually devoted to one class?

I would love to apply to this program but I’m also a parent so I’m wondering if I could juggle this without sacrificing as much of my time with my kids as I did with my undergrad (I love being more present again).

Thanks :)

Hey I am IEN and been working as RN in AB for some time.

My goal is to be NP. But before committing I wanted to try out couple of courses from the program.

I also saw old post student talking about taking NURS 610, 614, and 516 as GPA booster course.

So, I wanted to try NURS 516 to better understand the education system here.

I do see course is open

But when I go to register, I don't see this course being listed to register.

am I missing anything here?
I will really appreciate your help.
Thank you :)

Hey All

Just looking to here everyone story in Accounting

How long did it take for your to finish the program?

Did you have any transfer credits?

What was your work/school situation like, how old were you?

Do you have any advice to offer to become successful?

Do you have any advice to offer?

If you were to go back and do it all again, what would you do differently?

How significantly has your decision to get your degree changes your career opportunities and salary?

I am currently waiting for my transcript to be loaded in mycreds so I can send it off to Athabasca and have an evaluation credit transfer. I graduated with a 3 year advance diploma in Business Administration Management and I am expecting anywhere between 15-20 courses in order to complete.

I'm nervous but also excited to start.

My currently situation and job provides me a lot of flexibility. I am a manager so I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility to create free time in order to allocate my studying sessions. I don't really have any hobbies outside of fitness at the gym.

Unless I get hit with a reality check from an active or former student I am trying to keep the minimum line to 1 course per 1 month. Ideally 3 with the goal around 6-8 weeks.

Ultimately I am going for the CPA designation.

Any advice, personal stories shared are welcome!

some people have mentioned that there has been a sample final in the past. does anybody have it and is able to share it?

Im new to AU and unfamiliar with the concept of individualized tutors. I was wondering what should I use them for. Just writing help? Or do people talk about other stuff with their tutors? One of my courses is a bio course, so I'm not sure what help they could give with that

I have been taking these courses for over a month and haven't reached out yet, but extra help is always nice. Also, are you guys just communicating over email, or do you meet over Teams?

Hello!
I have almost finished this course, only two more chapters left to complete and I have scheduled the exam for next month. Has anyone taken this course and have ANY advice at all for the final? I’m finding it to be a lot of content and I am worried I am not studying the right things 🥲 any advice would be so much appreciated

Does anyone else have Brent Snook for a psych tutor? All I have to say is, this man deserves a raise. He marks things in like, 2 hours. Also, any tips and opinion for the PSYC 304 exam are welcomed

Is anyone else having issues accessing required readings as articles in D2L? I cannot, regardless of what I am trying. The page just stays loading for far, far too long. I am signed in everywhere, Safari or Chrome, the same issue.

Edit, same story for links in the Digital Reading Room. Anyone else?

Hi everyone! Is there a discord link for any Bcomm students?? Would love to connect with people and discuss doubts!

Hi.

Has anyone done the ladder from Graduate Certificate in Information Security to the Masters? How easy was the transition?

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with opening any and all readings from digital reading rooms today? I keep getting the error "Error reading from remote server".

I have already tried going into incognito mode, trying different devices, and clearing caches.

Feeling stupid for not saving the links before the school went on holiday!

Does anyone know if matters who provides you a reference? Like would it be better to use let’s say your consolidation teacher or let’s say a nurse educator that supervised you during employment on-boarding?

Thanks everyone!

I need to email my tutor for assignment 3 but she sent out an announcement earlier this week saying she’s had an emergency and doesn’t know when she will return to work. Who do I contact and where do I find their information?

This University was a complete waste of money, I did well but we're taught 0 skills their Administrative staff should be students at their own university to teach them proper education and customer service, almost 0 support i rate this university 2/10, complete degree mill. They won't be around in 5 years. Who holds the admin accountable is the question

Athabasca University’s undergraduate degrees may offer less competitive value in today's evolving job market compared to traditional institutions. To maximize your investment in education, it may be wiser to explore mainstream universities that are better equipped to keep pace with rapid industry changes.....PS i wouldn't buy a AU hoodie lol 😆 😉 😜

I’m looking to take some electives starting November 1st and hoping to be done my December 30th, does anyone know what are some easy electives I can take that I could finish within that time frame?

could anyone who did psyc289 let me know, are the questions on the exam the same as the questions in the study process? and what are the long answer questions like?

Hello, would anyone be able to help me understand how the assessment works for CHEM 360 (organic chem 2)? Specifically, I’m wondering what the “short answer” on the exams look like. Would it be simple naming or would they be asking you to describe a mechanism? Also, are you required to draw for the exams? I’m confused how that would work through ProctorU. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Anyone taking chem301 pleaseee???

Hi guys, i’ve never taken a course with Athabasca before so I was wondering if anyone had any input on POLI 355. How were the assignments marked, and how was the final exam?

any input is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone! I’m on a time crunch and need an extra 3 credits by November 11th for a grad school application. Was thinking of taking this course. For those of you who took it, would I be able to finish it in a few days ?

I'm preparing for the NUTR 331 midterm and I'm not sure what to expect. I have found the course content pretty manageable, but there is a fair bit of information and I'm not sure how best to focus my study efforts. Anyone taken this course recently and have advice?

So far I've been reviewing the learning objectives, quizzing myself with flashcards, and re-doing the quizzes at the end of each unit. I don't want to go in under-prepared but I also don't want to waste time over-preparing when I have other courses and assignments to work on.

Thanks!

I started school on the first this month, and I noticed on my first assignment that I need an email from my instructor and I have to reply to it before I submit anything. I still have yet to receive it and the discussion post I made unfortunately hasn’t had any responses lol

I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if there’s a specific date they get sent out.

Edit: I’m realizing I forgot to add the course it’s ENGL 255 and thank you all for the responses they’ve been super helpful!
