My tuition is higher than usual this semester, im just wondering if there are any fees that can get exempted. If yes, how?
It would be very appreciated

I’m enrolled in multiple classes (all first year) where I’m missing the high school prerequisites. I’m worried that this isn’t supposed to happen and that I’ll be removed from the classes in the first week. Are prerequisites only required for certain classes, while just being strongly encouraged for others? Has anyone else been able to take a class without the prerequisites and without a prerequisites waiver?

Hello! I’m looking to connect with other fellow students going on exchange in the winter semester, 2027.

Please reach out to me if you’re also going to Vienna!

Danke

Im an incoming nursing student who just moved from the states. I am not used to having functional public transportation, dont know my way around at all, and dont really know anyone here. I still gotta find out where my classes are relative to me, get my student card, and struggling a bit with navigating uozone. Hoping to join the intramural hockey team and looking for literally any and all advice, restraunts/cool places to check out, and resources so i dont have to pester the one guy i know here with all of my questions. Thanks!

So I pretty much missed the deadline to pay for my residence since I stupidly thought they would send it to my personal email. Now I am rushing to find any housing TWO WEEKS before school starts, if anybody knows any ways to find something reliable or has space I am an 18 year old girl going into my first year ( so preferably other girls) PLEASE HELP!!

Hiii guys,
I am going to start Sept as my last semester of uni and hopefully school (no masters 🤞)

Anyone have any tips, advice, things to do for a unimaxing experience.

Background: I am an engineering student and never had time in the past sem. This sem I have multiple days off and only 2 real courses.

Got a permit for brooks garage but I’m splitting it with someone on days I’m not going. UOttawa said I can’t have a second copy and that the permit has got to be displayed at all times so I was wondering how students do this. It’s gonna be really hard to coordinate times to physically give the pass to the other person so that’s not an option either

Now why do we have to have panties unattended in the locker room (on the bench btw) 😭. Used scrunched up and all let’s do better it’s highkey nasty 😭

Hi! I have searched through this subreddit for electives but a lot aren’t offered in the fall or require a lot of textbook reading. Does anyone have recommendations for classes with multiple choice exams that didn’t require a lot of textbook reading? Thank you!!

Hi, I am a new incoming student for this fall and opted in for the health and dental insurance plan. I am assuming there is a coverage card that I can show at a pharmacy to confirm that I have a private insurance plan. Where can I obtain my coverage card? I thought the provider was GreenShield, but when I tried to create an account using the instructions multiple times, it keeps saying that my ID is invalid. Should I just show my student ID instead?
Please let me know.

We made a Discord so DM me to get added. We may also create an Instagram group chat.

Poli Sci grads what are you doing know, and roughly how much do you make! Hopefully it’s cool!

Hey,

I submitted my parking permit request at 12:04, 4 minutes too late I guess. I’m waitlisted.

I’m from Northern Ontario and have to bring my car to school. I am also staying on campus (Marchand).

Does anybody know of any safe paid overnight parking lots??

I need my car to go from home to school at the bare minimum 😭

I did my undergrad at UofT, and I’m finding it difficult to navigate on-campus jobs at uOttawa.

I’m currently applying for TA positions within my grad program, but I do not think I will get any. So I’m trying to find a part-time campus job for some extra income. One thing I’m particularly confused about is the bilingual requirement. A lot of the jobs I see require you to be bilingual. I took French throughout high school, but I’m definitely not fluent. Can I still apply to jobs that say “bilingual,” and is there any way to filter for English-only positions?

At UofT, there were lots of smaller campus jobs through places like the libraries, Student Life, Athletics, student commons, etc. These were separate from Work Study, which was generally more related to your major. At uOttawa, it seems like these kinds of jobs are also under Work Study, and I’m wondering if that’s just how the system works here.

I also don’t see nearly as many of these smaller jobs at uOttawa. Are they posted throughout the year, or is there a particular time when most are posted? Is Work Study basically the main place to look?
The Work Study page seems pretty minimal compared to UofT’s CLNx. I can’t seem to filter by language, date posted, expiry date, etc. Am I missing something?

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from other students who have gone through this. I’m feeling pretty lost!

Just like the title indicates, has anyone had experience having to ask permission to retake an ADM course for the 3rd time. My main reasoning for failing this course was because of mental health reasons and other personal matters. I'm not sure how the process goes but its the only course that has been affecting me to progress with my prerequisites. Btw its ADM2704.

I know the actual date isn’t until Sept 17th. I just finished my 3rd term of the M.Ed. In both the fall and winter terms my marks came out within days of the course finishing. For the term that just ended (summer full-term aka Term A) I am still waiting for my mark from the course I took and I am the most impatient.

Any other M.Ed. students out there still waiting?

I need my mark back to get my official transcript to submit my proof of completion to get my course reimbursed. Very eager for my $$! Lol
