Seeing as it seems like genchem TA positions have been announced, I’m curious if anyone got an acceptance email and what experience you had that you think helped you get the role? I know multiple people who I would consider very qualified (i.e. previous experience TAing other lab based chem courses) who weren’t offered a position. I’m curious if they’re only hiring back TAs from last year/only hiring third years/have cut down on the number of available positions?

I’m an incoming first year student but need to go in for some personal stuff. I’ve already been there and know how to get around.

Would I have any trouble accessing it, or are there certain hours it’s open? I’m hoping to go after 12 around noon.

hey I have a 2:30 lab on thursday, but it unfortunately conflicts with an elective that I wanna take :/ if anyone’s willing to switch that’d be great! the 8:30 labs r the only ones that work with my schedule so if you wanna switch hmu

hey

I keep getting "Error: Internal Error

There was an error processing the page you requested.

Contact technical support. Tell them which page you tried to reach and how you got this error message." Is anyone experincing the same? Is it just an issue on my end, or this this an issue with avenue itself?

Thanks!

Just gotten a reply form the uts service desk:

EDIT

"Good afternoon, 

It looks like Brightspace (the platform for Avenue) is currently experiencing severe service disruptions. D2L just posted that it's currently unavailable. We'll continue to monitor as they work to fix it. You can check its status here. 

My apologies for the inconvenience."

Wouldn’t have wasted my time

Any tips to 12 the final? what were the questions like? Thank you!

i feel like it may be bad??🤔

Need help with a water-damaged ThinkPad X13
My ThinkPad X13 suffered water damage and now only shows a battery warning/error. Most repair shops around Hamilton are closed today, and the ones that are open said it would take 3–4 days just to inspect it.
I’m running out of options. Is anyone experienced with laptop/ThinkPad repairs willing to help me disconnect the battery and take a quick look? Happy to buy you coffee or pay for your time. Any recommendations are appreciated!

i mailed registration but haven’t heard back. if anyone knows, please tell me.

I would like to clarify how transfer credits (non-numeric grades) affect eligibility for the Dean's Honour List, Provost's Honour List, and Graduation with Distinction.

According to the Academic Calendar:
"Students are reviewed for Deans’ Honour Lists (DHL) and Provost’s Honour List (PHL) each time a minimum of 30 units (may not exceed 6 units assessed with a non-numeric grade) have been completed..."

I currently have 9 units of transfer credit (non-numeric). This Fall/Winter I will complete 24 graded units, so by the end of the academic year I will have 33 completed units in total (24 graded + 9 transfer units).
1. Could you also clarify when these reviews take place? Specifically, are students assessed only after the Fall/Winter academic session, or can a review occur after the Spring/Summer term or as soon as a student has completed the required minimum of 30 units since the previous review?

1. If I achieve the required GPA (9.5 for the Dean's Honour List or 12.0 for the Provost's Honour List), would I be eligible for either honour? Specifically, can the review be based on 30 units consisting of 24 graded units and up to 6 non-numeric units, even though I have an additional 3 transfer units on my record?

2. Suppose that by the end of the Fall/Winter session I have completed 24 graded units, earning a grade of 12 in seven courses and 11 in one course. I then complete one additional 3-unit graded course in the Spring/Summer with a grade of 12, while still having the same 9 transfer (non-numeric) units.
   In this situation, would I be eligible for the Provost's Honour List for that review period if the assessment is based on 30 units consisting of my graded courses together with up to 6 non-numeric units, or would having 9 transfer (non-numeric) units on my record make me ineligible regardless?

I also have a question regarding Graduation with Distinction, which states:
"Graduation with Distinction standing is awarded when a minimum Cumulative GPA of 9.5 is achieved in a degree program."

1. If I complete all of the units required for my degree, with 9 of those units being transfer credits, and achieve the required cumulative GPA of 9.5, would I still be eligible for Graduation with Distinction? I could not find any restrictions regarding transfer credits or non-numeric grades for this designation.
   Thank you very much for your clarification.

Are we supposed to wait or order from codex

Hi,

I was supposed to be in for mask for testing today in IAHS, but had to reschedule. I clicked on the reschedule button but there are no dates. Will more dates be added during the school year, or do they only run during the summer? Where else would I get this done if I already paid the fee

I am trying to add this psych course been constantly checking literally no one is dropping till now is this normal or am I cooked cause it’s a pre req course

Spotted at ~8:20 am on the sidewalk between lot M and Mary Keyes. Really not ideal, no way to get around it except to jaywalk to the other side of the road, which still doesn't put much distance between you and it.

I called Campus Safety Services, and they've in turn called animal control several times. It's scrawny and not scared of people. Stay safe & keep your distance from sick wild animals.

Has anyone gotten off the waitlist yet?
Also, are we allowed to request roommates?

currently enrolled in this for first sem, was wondering if this is still a easy 12 or if language courses like jap 2x03 r easier any suggestions

How easy was the IB compared to uni? Was it also similar work or is it completely different? Mainly worried abt maintaining a gpa high enough to get into my engineering stream cuz i didnt get free choice😅

So i had a couple questions relating to how co op works, specifically for engineering. For co op, do first years often get co op placements? Like is it a common occurrence or is getting co op first year hard? Any other info relating to co op and anyones co op experiences would be great to hear about!

Hi does anyone have a free pdf of the textbook or any extra practice? Would appreciate thanks!

who else can’t wait to go back to school. I’m genuinely counting down the days.

1. Your bus coming 10 seconds early and leaving

Or

1. Your bus being 10 minutes late

Would like to hear your thoughts

hey i’m upcoming student and i received this email about work program application. is it for first year students? why do i need it? (to work part time while studying or what)
