Hello UBC.

Were you waiting for the 25 bus to UBC on Monday 22nd June between 8:20 & 8:50 a.m? You might be able to help me!

I was involved in a car accident on Monday 22nd June where a white SUV ran a red light at the Nanaimo & 24th junction and hit the back passenger side of the EVO I was in as I turned left.

When the incident happened, the lady who hit admitted to running the red. I didn’t record this interaction as I was shaken up and not thinking straight. However, the story she has provided to insurance is the opposite and I have been deemed 100% responsible for the accident as I was the left turner. At the scene, She begged me not to go through insurance and settle this privately but because it was an EVO I was driving, I had to run the claim through them.

I am looking for ANY dashcam footage or witnesses for that morning between 8:30 & 8:40 a.m that can help corroborate my account and prove that she is indeed at fault for running that red.

The 25 UBC bound buses were delayed so there was a huge crowd at the bus stop at Nanaimo station. If you’re reading this and witnessed the accident and can confidently recount what happened, please reach out.

I'm a first year arts student and don't have anyone close to me that's really experienced with anything university related. I'm in back to back classes with one in the Buchanan bulding and the other in SWNG and it looks like a 13 minute walk. Is that doable? If not, I don't really know what to do.

Is anyone in ASIA_305? The first class is today but the CANVAS shows that the course has not yet been published by the instructor and I could not find the prof's contact info. Has anybody ever encounter this before? Any helps would be appreciated

yo when are they planning to release the canvas for cpsc 121 tf

Hi everyone. I am an incoming international student at UBC, and I am looking to purchase a car sometime in September and hopefully get a parking permit on campus. However, I read that there are waitlists and things related to it, I am not entirely sure. My worry is that since I will not have the car registered until the semester starts, I cannot join the waitilst without the plates. Do you know how long usually the waiting takes? I hope I won't have to park an hour away for the whole semester. Thanks in advance. Btw, I'll be living in Walter Gage.

Hello,
What are the odds I get any housing by end of august/september?
Also when should i be expecting to hear back from housing if I do receive any offer?

I uploaded my sheet with the drops over the past year and a half (applied december 2024)

Thank you!

(In short, I’m an incoming undergrad and ubc messed up my program, and I messed up my course registration so right now I’m enrolled in 2 courses for term 1, and one for term 2. I need help and advice)

Hey guys, I’m an incoming first year UBC Science student and I’m really lost with course registration and hoping someone can help me understand what I’m doing wrong or what I should fix first. I didn’t really receive a email abt my registration appointment (probably got accidentally deleted), only something about the course bundle thing. At the time I didn’t fully understand what it was for and I don’t have parents or older siblings who have gone through university, so I’ve basically been trying to figure everything out on my own. Since I didn’t see the email, I missed my registration appointment, and as a result I was only placed into the courses I selected in the course bundle.
Now I realize those courses seem to be mainly for Applied Biology requirements. I originally accepted an offer for Bachelor of Science in Applied Biology, but later I declined that and accepted Bachelor of Science (General) months ago. I thought that change was processed, but my Workday still seems to reflect Applied Biology which has added to my confusion.Because of all of this, I’ve been trying to adjust my schedule, but I keep running into issues;some courses are missing from my schedule, some sections are waitlisted, and some won’t let me register due to errors, especially with sections not being selectable even when they show as open.
Right now I’ve only been able to successfully register in two courses for Term 1 and one course for Term 2. The rest are either waitlisted or I’m unable to add them. My current Term 1 includes Biology and a neuroscience related course, but I’m not even fully sure if I’ve set everything up correctly. For Term 2 I only have Science Seminar registered.
My goal is to eventually specialize in Neuroscience in second year, but right now I just feel really confused and scared. I already emailed my advisor (no response yet) and I’m gonna try calling them soon, but please give me advice.

+i want to specialize to neuroscience second year

Does not mean easy tho. theres gotta be tons of these in arts that idk how people even find in the first place

I’m NOT a comp sci major and don’t need to take the classes for my major however I took 110 in my first year and really enjoyed it (I’ve heard it’s some people’s nightmare but I actually liked it lol). Are there any courses similar to 110 that won’t be too much for someone who isn’t studying comp sci and the only pre-req is 110? I don’t think there are any other classes that use the same language, but similar output expectations (obviously slightly more advanced I guess)?

I accidentally ordered around 2kg worth of processed sausage, which is around $48 worth of meat. i dont really want to eat these cancer sticks since ive heard processed meat can cause cancer but i also dont want to waste them

does anyone know where i should donate them around campus?

Why is it every time I see a post about "my x was stolen from y" a lot of the comments say "well you should have gone to meet the driver" etc etc. Yeah sure next time.

The point though, is that none of this is okay in any circumstance. Stop being thief apologists stop condoning theft stop with the complacency. It really is not something that should be shrugged off, and worse someone just lost their stuff (who knows if it ruined their evening plans or was highly important or whatever) why are you blaming them?

EDIT: some of the comments below kinda demonstrate what I'm talking about, it's depressing.

The point I wish to make isn't whether it's appropriate or not to be street smart, meet the driver, etc. It's that this sort of theft is unacceptable. Full stop.

There's a lot of places around the world where this doesn't happen at all. We tend to despise porch pirates yet it's different if it's a dorm? Please stop making excuses for thieves. Why not aspire to make UBC a better place?

Could anyone else access https://pages.github.students.cs.ubc.ca/ recently?

The summer section for CPSC 210 is starting in two days, and I wanted to check the GitHub for the syllabus, but I haven't been able to access the site for a while now

Hi guys, is there a way to swap two courses without having to drop one of them and re-register?

I want to move my chemistry class to 10am, but right now I have a bio at 10am, and I want to move my bio class to where my chemistry class is currently at (sorry that may sound confusing lol)

Trying to plan out my second year and I’m wondering if this seems reasonable to maximize my gpa:

first sem: (i can take four because i did a summer class)
CHEM 233
BIOL 200
MICB 211
ENGL 110 (i could take this is in second semester and switch with an elective)

second sem: (hoping to take five courses)
BIOL 230
BIOL 260
BIOL 234
PHYS 131 (thinking of taking in 3rd year and putting ENGL 110 here)
CHEM 235

any advice on this would be GREATLY appreciated tyyy 🙏

I live in arbutus and I’m pretty sure the garbage room is the one next to the bike room on the ground floor but I can’t open it ?😭like do you use your room key, is there a passcode im so confused

Currently majoring in chemistry, and I need 12 arts credits.
I'm going to take upper level art course to satisfy 48 upper level credits requirement.
Do you recommend AMNE 301 for upper level arts credits?

In addition, how about ASIA 326?

Thanks for only stealing one bag. Really appreciate your restraint. Hope you enjoy the ground beef, whipping cream, and mushrooms. Glad I could help with your grocery bill. 💕
