Is there a decent Canadian population at the school? anyone know people from around toronto? or american? Is there a difference in north american populations per program or undergrad vs graduate level? Just a 24 year old canadian considering this school for my masters but wanna see if theres a canadian community. The plan is to go back to canada after the masters so wanna see if all the connections i may i make during school may be left behind (tho won't be meaningless)

So i'm 24 and considering both options. I can likely go to the UK for two years, come back, be an SLP. Or I can stay in ontario and do the 1 year CDA program. it's just that tuition for SLP masters in the UK is 70-100k CAD total (depending on school) for two years in the UK. and I'm not even gonna live in a big city there. And i wanna finish school asap as well.

above^, and did it seem faster than if u didn't request/plan to graduate

Any position with just a psych undergrad degree? I know you are not a clinician obviously with that degree but does it help for applying for admin or anything in the mental health unit? or for any assistant type of role? starting a masters in january probably but i wanna use my degree to get a job soon and i dont wanna work a job someone in highschool can do. i have minors in linguistics and education if it helps

I interviewed for this program and few weeks ago and they informed me during the interview that the program is already full (i applied late). They sent me an email the next day saying they put me on the waitlist. They said they cannot tell me my spot but that many people got off the waitlist in the past. The program starts in October so it's soon. I am an international student (Canadian) if it makes any difference. Should I have hope? Anyone have insight or an idea how admissions work for the program or school in general? They closed the application portal like a few weeks after I applied so I'm wondering if they already had a waitlist before it closed or if they just filled at that point. Are a couple people expected to drop? I'm not familiar with slt master's competitiveness in england.

Sorry i know this subreddit is for teachers, but there isn't an Ontario SLP page and I'm asking about school SLP's so i hope thats ok. I'm planning to work in schools after im done school, which will be in 2-3 years. I want to get an idea of the demand in schools. Do they hire new grad slps or experienced only? I heard a lot of kids are waiting for services so does that mean the board is always actively hiring or is it just the government isn't putting a lot of funding in it or is it a capacity issue? And who hires/manages school SLP's? I've heard of closing the gap but i also heard that an SLP could work for a school and serve all the students there. Does it depend on the board. And do slp's always work with all students or can they specialize or have like a stream like say speech and not language. I'll try searching online but wanted some insight that may not be on school websites. thanks!!! sidenote: do CDA's work in your school board and what do they do that an SLP may not do? and anyone in private schools--how does slp work there?

kinda vague, but can the dean or someone in the deans office if thats a thing or anyone higher up override a department's policy. i asked my department directly for an exception to something and they said no which i thought was harsh cuz i explained my situation to them and it really sucks. i submitted a petition to the office of the registrar for a degree exception but I need a decision asap, and they will probably consult with the department and take 3 months to give me a decision probably siding with the department. So i need to talk to someone who has a broader view than enforcing this department's policy and can help me. I might go to the EDI office (UTM) for support cuz it is an equity issue, but i need a specific person who can actually do something quick. this is ruining my summer and will ruin the next year of my life if not resolved literally this week. i have documentation and support from other utm staff for my case--just not from someone who can work around policy. this situation has already been like a 2 month process which is consuming me

and/or is there a way to get my petition looked at urgently

also i go to utm so im looking a utm specific person, but other campuses might have the same procedure or title of this person

so my dad did 4 out of 5 years of a uni program in poland. he wasn't allowed to immigrate here if he had a degree (idk why soviets were weird). I alr did undergrad and never put myself as first generation to go to uni, since my dad did go. but since he couldn't finish, and he couldn't have any credits tranferred to a canadian institution, can i apply for this now when i apply for osap for grad school. and if im eligible,can i get a reassessment for previous years?

So for SBI4U i just self-reported my grade 11 mark. they didn't ask for a transcript. I need to take MHF4U but i took mixed math in grade 11 which is not a prereq, yet grade 12 college math works a prereq. I just need the credit for MHF4U so i think i'll manage. But tvo said i need MCR3U or MCT4C over email. Can i get passed this? Can i get them to use grade 11 mixed math as a prereq. I'm a mature student.

OVS says this: mature students without the prerequisite can apply for an exemption in writing to the Principal and they specifically say the student can explain their circumstances and send their most recent transcript

I need MHF4U by around mid august so will ilc work in any way or should I try OVS. im broke tho and dont wanna pay for OVS

so i submitted an assignment-got feedback where they told me to resubmit cuz the turn it it report didnt work. i resubmitted and it's been a week or so or even more... i already read the whole textbook and did all the assignments and im just waiting... this is kinda a rant but also if someone knows if i should do something lemme know. can they open all the assignment submission pages for me? i emailed them 3 business days ago and they havent repsonded or done anything. i need to book the exam asap. this is sbi4u with ms K btw

so i got accepted to a post grad certificate program (CDA) but i didn't request graduation from uoft yet cuz i thought i would maybe take summer courses to upgrade my gpa--if i graduated in spring i wasn't gonna get osap for those. I have finished my degree requirements however. I got an email saying i secured my seat in the program after paying my deposit, but on Banner it says like ive secured it but my offer is conditional and theres this checklist showing that i need to upload my degree. Idk what to do. does anyone have any info?

I submitted a petition like a week ago and the decision on it is super urgent. I'm wondering what people's experiences were. I can't afford to wait a month. It would be even more frustrating if i waited a really long time just for them to refuse it.

i can't find expiry dates online. im not in summer school, was full time student this last fall-winter. i heard of cleanings being valid in the summer? im seeing my optometrist and an audiologist this month. may have more appointments and stuff through summer. so they all expire on a certain date? or on different dates?

put off a lot of appointments cuz the school year was so hectic now i need to see all these specialists.

SBI4U do i need to pass the exam to pass the course. so do i need to separately pass the exam to get the credit/pass the course? and how hard is the exam? Im not lazy, but my uni needs this for a program admission requirement (even tho this program hardly has any bio in it) i need to work through summer, so i just dont have time to do a lot of review and just need a 50. i have like a 90 on the assignments so far

i have an interview for a grad school june 17 11:30 am. im still a student at utm technically but it wont let me book a room cuz im not in summer courses i guess. i dont have anywhere that feels safe to take the interview. like i know if i take it at home, just being in the house with my family will make me anxious and throw me off. i don't have a lock on my door so they can walk in whenever. and they might eavesdrop and then criticize me after the interview

so im not enrolled in summer school, but i'm a utm student trying to get a quiet spot for an interview. when i try, it says my utorid is not in the database. is this cuz im not enrolled in summer school??

how much do u make in a year as a CDA? are you salaried or contract? Which setting(s) do u work in?

teaching or communicative disorders assistant? may apply to slp after working as a CDA a bit, but I'd have to take like a year of undergrad courses to boost my GPA (for Canadian schools). Could also start my cda program this fall and apply for teacher's college whenever afterwards (probably won't need to take more undergrad courses)

More ontario specific (CDA's) but also interested to hear how it is nation-wide. Any tips on how to get a good job (salaried-preffered), especially in the gta.
