Hi everyone, I’m really stressing out and could use some advice 😭

I was offered a seat in BIOL 2401, but when I went to enroll, the prerequisite/requirements also say that I need to enroll in BIOL 2401 LO1 or LO2.

The problem is that both lecture/lab enrollment isn’t going through because the lab is full, so I literally can’t enroll in the course even though I was offered a seat.

My offer expires tomorrow at 11:30 AM, and I’m scared that if I don’t accept/enroll by then, I’ll lose the seat.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there anything I can do, like contact the department/registrar, ask for an override, or email someone about the full lab? I genuinely don’t know what my options are and would really appreciate any advice 😭

Thank you!

Feeling a bit blah because I’m still waitlisted on all my other courses and debating if it’s even worth it to pay alll the extra fee’s to just be in one course… but also I really don’t want to prolong my education any further. Advice? I’ll have to decide before the 24th.

didnt see one on Douglas College Global Engagment, I know there probably aint but just gonna check if anyone on here knows?

is it worth it for an international student to spend money in this college or should i go for other college

this is a bit of dumb question but i’m curious as to what kind of bags everyone uses for school? i’ve seen a lot of people with backpacks ofc, but ive also heard a couple people say they use messenger bags or totes.

for context, i will be taking 3 online courses and 1 in person (a&p). because of the timing, i’ll be doing my online courses somewhere on campus.

i know this question seems a bit weird, but ive done online school for the past few years and am a bit unsure of what i’ll need to take with me to/from college

tia!!

I'm doing a math course this semester 😭 so I need my other classes to be somewhat chill. I decided to drop two out of the following but I haven't decided which to drop yet.

I wanted to make a post to let anyone know who is experiencing issues with StudentAidBC when applying for their student loan. If you experienced the issue during Winter semester of them wrongly saying you withdrew, you may experience another error when applying for next semester. I was alerted to a restriction on my account when I tried to apply which said could no longer receive funding due to a withdrawal. It was specifically called an SSR error.

A StudentAidBC rep I spoke with today let me know that this error is due to the accidental withdrawal error that Douglas students from last semester experienced and they are aware of it. I’m not sure why they haven’t posted any kind of announcement but, I thought I would make this post to help others who are experiencing it as I was super anxious until today.

TDLR if you have a SSR error and you don’t have any withdrawals you may be experiencing an issue on SABC’s end due to the accidental withdrawal error that Douglas students experienced in Winter semester. They are aware and fixing it.

Hi all!

Starting my first year at Douglas in the fall and am wondering how can I not pay the DSU Health and Dental fee? I have my healthcare covered in my mother’s benefits and don’t see why needing the DSU would be a benefit for me. Plus it would save me money.

Is there an option to not pay it and if so, how? Or is it like mandatory to pay and then I can opt out after?

Hi! If anybody could let me know how the registration ticket really works! I know it’s mainly based on gpa after your first semester! What are the gpa ranges that affect your time slot? Thanks!

I wanted to get in the bsn program at Douglas but I messed up with the 2 retake attempt rule. I took the first bio at kpu and later found out that it counted as an attempt and this semester I took 1103/1203 and math 1160 tg.
Idk why I thought I could do it all tg maybe to save time. I’m waiting for my grades back and I don’t think I got C+ in any.
Now I’m confused cuz I can’t apply to Douglas program no more. Lowk devastated but it’s all my fault.

Hey, I’m 30F returning to Douglas this fall after a year off but I have been attending for a couple years. I find it really isolating and hard to make friends as a mature student. It’s hard trying to relate to a lot of my classmates as many of them are significantly younger. Id really like to feel a bit more connected to the college community.

I’d love to have some study buddies this semester be it online or in person. Just wondering if any other people in my boat might be interested in connecting? ☺️

Hey, so how many classes per semester are usually recommended? I need at least all C’s in my classes so the minimum passing will work- I could try for C+\B , but won’t be needed (it’s more of first come first serve, then a high gpa), I am planning on working 2 days a week. For the second and third semester, since I won’t be a new student at Douglas, and having all C’s will definitely affect my registration ticket? Am I most likely going to get the last week of registration/ most classes will be taken?

I’m currently sick and i have my final exam. While i think i can make it to my exam i’m hacking up a lung every few minutes and blowing my nose every couple and worried about being extremely distracting for others. Does anyone know the protocol for being sick for a final?

It’s for a business excel if that helps.

Thanks

I got an impark ticket back in july during grad season and i didnt pay it. Then i got a notice about debt collection etc which i just saw today. what do i do? My parents are worried because i drive their car lol

Hi!

Has anyone taken Lynette Sigola for bio 1103. Just wondering how hard her class is and if the quizzes are typically first or second class of the week.

seriously…. it’s been a while. I have a general idea of what i need to go back to school but can someone give me their tips on what to bring with me….. I feel like a fish out of water going back to school!

within the NSU #3 email that was sent out, it says that students have until september 7th to complete DCUE 0100 (Academic Integrity) on blackboard, but i’m not seeing it show up? i’m also unable to see DCUE 0200.

is anyone else having this problem? i understand that DCUE 0100 is a mandatory course to be completed before the semester starts.
