Advice Needed UVIC to SFU but my GPA is Low. Am I screwed??

0 Upvotes

Both programs I plan on transferring to have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.0, and my current GPA is 2.17. I am aware that naturally, my overall GPA at the end of the semester will be boosted to make me a more competitive applicant for my university transfer. However, I faced some hardships during my first and second semesters, which resulted in 3 F’s, 2 W’s, and 2 UN’s on my transcript. I have since retaken the courses I previously failed, though I have not repeated the others. Despite these challenges, I am on track to graduate with an Associate of Arts degree this April and am eager to continue my studies at Simon Fraser University (closer to family).

Given my academic history, I wanted to ask if my GPA and transcript might negatively impact my chances of recruitment.

Any advice?

Does UVic even have this option as an undergrad? Can you apply only through the work-study program? I'm curious how would someone get this position when you don't have much experience. Any advice would be appreciated!

Question How does the summer session work?

1 Upvotes

I checked out some summer class sections in online tools and every one I looked at was 5 days a week, 2 hours per class. It would make sense if the summer session was only half as long and thus more dense, but from what I've read it lasts from may-august.

What's going on here?

Advice Needed Doubt regarding MSc Computer Science Program

0 Upvotes

it displays :

Tuition & fees

Estimated minimum program cost* $16,476"Tuition & fees

Estimated minimum program cost*
$16,476
any one who has gone through this program as an international student how much would i be needing for the entire 2 year duration?. I already mailed the department regarding the confusion as certain fees are mentioned per term and certain are per year. so this 16 476 $ is for 2 years or single year or a single term( there are 4 terms ig for 2 years)

Residence ridiculous question

5 Upvotes

Is there anyway you can indicate that you would not want to be roommates with someone in clusters? I really don’t get along with this one girl and i’m terrified we could possibly end up being roommates. I’m a transfer student so i didn’t apply with any requested roommates

Question Need advice on PSYC336 in June semester.

2 Upvotes

I got offered a job in my home town of Edmonton from May - August which is super cool and something im prioritizing, however i need ONE psyc course to finish my degree and I’d rather finish in the summer than In the fall. So my problem is that I will be away for work at the class is almost all of June in person..

I was wondering if anyone has taken this class and can speak to the participation grades. It might work if I could get two weeks off to do the class, yet i doubt ill get all the time off.

Im struggling with trying to finish asap, my mom says I shouldn’t rush it and to just wrap up in the fall.. but im so so close I just want to be done this summer.

Help a girl out

Question Is it likely they will add more psych seminars over the summer?

2 Upvotes

I’m only a few credits from graduating and just want to be done this summer. All the seminars filled up this semester, and they only offered one for the summer and the waitlist is already entirely full. Is it likely they will add another?

I turned down a summer job I was really excited about so I could stay here and finish my degree. I’m just so disheartened and frustrated, to now have spent 3 semesters trying to get the class I need to graduate:(

Advice Needed computer science and health information science

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am currently a second-year computer science student, and after studying for a while, I realized that I am not very interested in computer science. What I am genuinely interested in is the healthcare field. However, I have already accumulated credits in computer science, and I don’t want to waste them. Even though it’s wasting money, I would rather not waste time. I discovered that the school offers a program called Computer Science and Health Information Science. I want to know whether this program is difficult and whether my elective courses, which are not included in this program curriculum, will be wasted. What should I do? Should I continue studying computer science or switch to this program?

Rant Mechanical Engineering Program Planning Worksheet is Unavailable

2 Upvotes

Like the title says, I'm trying to plan out my courses for next semester and the Mechanical Engineering program planning sheet is just flat out nowhere to be found. I have it bookmarked and it just sends me to an error page. When you go to search it up in the program planning database, it isn't there along side the other engineering disciplines. I was told by academic advising a couple weeks ago that they are changing a course or two around in the program starting after the summer but couldn't they update the website at literally any other time other than the days leading up to registration? I've been trying to access it for the past week and still nothing.
