International Voter Drive 2026, for dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other U.S. citizens in South Korea

Hi- I'd like to make an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party with a chapter in South Korea. Since an extremely important election is coming in November, we're hoping to register more dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other eligible U.S. voters who live in South Korea.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If you know any eligible US citizens, they can register and request a ballot. Just send them this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible.

If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/kr. We have regular in-person meetups and events online. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Best Apps for Notetaking

Hey! I’m a first-year student entering a math program, and I have a Windows laptop. I’m looking for recommendations for a good note-taking app for university.

Ideally, I’d like something that **records the professor during class so I can go back and listen to the recording later**, while also being able to help organize or make sense of what was said.

What apps do you recommend for this? Thanks! :)

How long do UWindsor instructors/GAs/TAs usually take to return assignments?

Does it usually happen that most of the course assignment grades are released at the end of the term, apart from the final grade?

I wanted to post this because feedback on earlier assignments in a course was delayed; students had very little opportunity to use it to improve their later work, had to figure things out largely on their own.

Has anyone experienced something similar at UWindsor? Is it against any UWindsor Policies?

Is it possible for the grading teams to complete grading of many assignments at once in big classes, especially elective courses, before the final grade-posting deadline?

Not able to perform well at school

i had my second final today, which was bad, like hopefully I pass. The first final was the same. I have another on 19th(for a course which I failed earlier).

Why is this happening with me? Am I not studying enough? Maybe I am not or else wouldn’t have reached here.

I was at St. Clair, which was a breeze, ever since transferring my mental health has been shit and too much stress/pressure academically and financially.

I only start studying a day or two before the exam, because I genuinely for the love of god can’t sit on my ass and study for something which is due 4 weeks from now. I simply fuck around and waste time and then I end
up failing courses.

I had a really shitty 2025 everything from which followed, I failed three courses in Fall 2025, fought for a grade appeal. In Winter 2026, failed one course(this was supposed to be NR-but I’m stupid) had one VW.

Summer 2026, I got a 54 in a 6 week course, I was on RTW, which I appealed for and was put in a different major. So it’s been bad like fuck all bad. I was in CS, now in BIT

What should I do? I need help. I am not going to drop out or take a break and I am going to get back in my original major. I just need some guidance

First-year panic: Tuition due tomorrow (Aug 15) and I’m on OSAP — do I have to pay right now?

Hey everyone, I'm starting my first year this Fall and I'm a bit confused/stressed about tuition payment.

I received the email saying Fall 2026 tuition is due tomorrow, August 15. My balance is around $5,000, which I don't have upfront to pay out of pocket.

I have applied for OSAP, but I’m not entirely sure how the process works with the deadline:

  1. Does OSAP automatically pay UWindsor directly once classes start, or was I supposed to pay upfront and wait for a refund?
  2. Where in UWinsite Student can I confirm that the university sees my OSAP ("Anticipated Aid") so I don't get hit with late fees or interest?
  3. If my OSAP doesn't cover the full amount, do I just pay whatever remaining difference shows up?

Any help or advice from upper-year students would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Help! I had to drop one of my classes and need a bird course.

Help!! I need to drop one of my classes and need a bird course to replace it due to personal reasons. I need it to be online and remote. I’ll be starting first year and all of the classes are full (online and otherwise). Should I email profs?? Do you guys have any course suggestions or advice? I want to take ACCT 1510 Principles of Financial Accounting. I have done zero research on the course it was only one I found that works for me date and time wise as well as being online. Is it easy, how’s the prof?? If you’ve taken the course I’d love your insight. Thank you all advice is appreciated:))

Edit: I’ve also found SWRK 2000 will it work too??

Issues with student account centre

I’m trying to have my tuition paid for today. I went on the student account centre to pay it and both times I tried to submit my payment it would log me out before going to the “receipt” section. I have no idea if the payments have gone through, I don’t have proof via the receipt that I “paid” it today or at least attempted to and I’m not sure what’s happening. I looked through the student account centre website and couldn’t find any receipt for either payment. I’m not really sure what to do, have others experienced this?

Incoming gr12: NEED the REAL student experience (good AND bad)

Hello. I am an incoming gr12 student this fall. And my question is: Current students from Windsor university I need the REAL experience before I apply be brutally honest 👀

FYI: This Post is a little long**😭😭**which includes the program I feel interest about and following up with some question. I apologize for the long post but I will appreciate all of your time and advise. Also imagine how long it took me to research, type it down 😭😭 Please READ TILL END🙏)

So I wanna apply to med school and I have couple of undergrad program in mind which are:

-Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health Studies or Bachelor of Sport Management and Leadership

-Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience

-Biochemistry

-Biology

-Biology- Interdisciplinary Health Science Stream

-Biomedical science

-Psychology

1)I'd love to hear from current students about workload, professors, social life, co-op, research opportunities, etc.

2)How difficult are exams?

3)How competitive are grades and GPA? As this is very important for Med school.

4)How hard is research to get? Co-op, internship?

  1. Which program good preparation for med school? Any other program with strong med school pipeline?

  2. What do you love or hate?

  3. And finally after this experience will you still choose Windsor University and the program you are in?

Getting a hold of financial office

I had some questions I wanted to ask abt my osap funding and scholarships to the financial office at school, but I’ve tried to call twice both on separate days within their office hours and both times I get out on hold for 2-3 hours then switched to a different line just to be on hold and for them to hung up because it became outside their office hours. I have tried emailing and it says it will take 20-25 business days for a reply. I want to make sure I can have my payments in b4 the 15th, but seeing as my questions r directly abt it, I just want to make sure I’m doing it right b4 I pay. I am entering my first year and live hours away so going in person is not an option. If anybody has any advice that’ll be great
