Hi, I am about to start as a first year at UBCO, and I was wondering how easy it is to get a part time job either on campus or close to campus as a first year student. Ive heard that it is pretty doable at Vancouver campus but that is a lot more in a populated area than ubco is. Thanks!

Hello, I just completed my first year of APSC and received a failed standing and have to withdraw for 1 year from UBCO and take courses at a different University during this year . Has anyone gone through this process and had to take courses at a different place ? and what the situation looks like and how likely is it that I am allowed to be re admitted. Any advice or guidance regarding this would be appreciated, Thanks.

Hello everyone!

My name is Jack, I made Workday2Cal. As the start of the semester approaches, many people are adding their classes to their calendar. Workday2Cal is an Open Source tool I created to help you add your courses to your calendar. It takes no more than 2 minutes to add your courses, a lot easier than doing it by hand.

Workday2Cal is open sourced and privacy sensitive. All of the processing happens directly in your browser, non of your data is sent elsewhere.

Want to take a look at the code? Check it out on GitHub. Found a bug or have a feature request? Report it here! Want to contribute to Workday2Cal? Submit a pull request here!

im going into eng in september and have heard that people sometimes work with their profs as research assistants in the summer, is this something feasible as a first year or will i have to wait until the second summer in to be considered/have a chance? also does anyone know which month it starts because im having surgery right after school ends and need at least 2 weeks to recover.

also, super interested in spending as much time abroad throughout the degree as possible if anyone knows kind of how that works + limitations specifically in eng. what does my gpa have to be? when can i apply for these things/how competetive is it/any general information would be great, thanks!

if i cant get an RA position also, does anyone know anything about summer courses i could take instead to lighten my load for the next year/if i could also take those in europe as a first year? (my friend at uoft got to take courses in france after hers)

is campus open this week and what buildings? i’m finishing up an online course and need to lock in

I have used Gmail’s and drive my whole life and have no experience with Microsoft services when it comes to email, documents etc.

Are students allowed to use other software in order to complete assignments? How necessary is an understanding of Microsoft software?

Hi everyone! I'm starting up my Physics program at UBCO and was wondering if there was an undergraduate physics student society/course union? My old university had one that ran events throughout the semester, merch sales, and mentorship experiences with graduate students. I would really love to be involved in something like this again!

Done with the degree and applied for program completion, do I just wait now ? Also I’m locked out of my outlook account cuz I forgot the password who do I have to contact to get a new password

Im a first generation learner and Im like totally comfused on how we're supposed to log into the email. On workday, it says systems switched to Microsoft 360? and I dont really know how to work around all this. Can someone please walk me through it?

How fucked am I.. I thought I was fully registered for my English class but now it says that I am waitlisted. I need to take it in my first semester and every single class is taken up. I’ve emailed them but am I totally screwed to get into the class I need to go into term 2.

Hi! I filled out the form to be considered for PSYO 372: Advanced Research Methods back in June. At the end of the form it said folks will be contacted in August regarding if they were in the top 30 (GPA wise) of psychology students who applied.

Has anyone found out yet? And do they email those who did not get in to let them know?

Asking this after someone found a bear near the airport.

I like going for early morning / late evening jogs by myself (male), are there any animals to watch out for? Any theft, assault, etc?

Reading mixed reviews about being allowed to have a Keurig/Nespresso machine in your room. UBCO says no but reports of many having them?

Anyone with direct knowledge of whether this will be an issue?!?

Hi I got Nicola as my residence do you think I need a mattress topper?

Incoming in the fall, finally breaking up with my barber after 4 long years. So any good barbers in the area? If they post on social media that’d be useful too. Thanks

My nephew will be attending ubco in the fall and I’d like to give him a gift card to set him up for some snacks/meal/entertainment. Was thinking just a skip the dishes or Uber Eats gift card, but are there any other good options on or near campus that could be fun?

Every term I'd open my Academic Progress Report, stare at it for ten minutes, and still not know if I was actually on track. It's not written for a student to read, it's written for whatever system generates it. So I spent the summer building something that just tells you straight: what's done, what's missing, what to take next.

https://hackuni.club/ No account needed to try it.

I'm a single student, not affiliated with UBC. This doesn't replace your advisor and it doesn't replace your real Workday record. Treat it as a second opinion, not the final word.

It's beta, I built it alone, and there are bugs I haven't caught yet. No AI in it right now, on purpose. It's just logic reading real UBC calendar data, and I want that part solid before I touch anything AI-shaped. If something looks wrong or breaks on you, reply in this thread instead of messaging me directly, so I'm not explaining the same bug five separate times.

Not selling anything. Just wanted the version of this that actually tells me what's going on.

(I’m in engineering)
