get me out of here, i need to see something else. where do you go to study off campus please

It's pretty disrespectful how most units at this university absolutely refuse to let applicants know that they weren't hired or that they didn't get an interview. I'm not asking for a handwritten letter with beautiful calligraphy and a lot of feedback. I'm asking for an automated email so that I can make an informed decision about job prospects. To have done two degrees at this university and then get ghosted by several units, including the very faculty where you got your two degrees, pisses me off so much.

I'm wondering if some units actively keep people in the dark so that it's harder for applicants to grieve unfair hiring practices rooted in favouratism and various forms prejudice... Why is it not mandated that units hiring on UM Careers send out that automated email to all non-winning candidates?

What does everyone think?

EDIT: Just to confirm that I am referring to AESES positions (support staff jobs) in this post. I'm not sure what everyone's experiences for academic positions were, but my experience was good when applying for student jobs.

hello i’m an incoming student in the science faculty and i was wondering if this class schedule seems feasible for my first semester of uni:

- biol 1020
- chem 1100
- math 1500
- either psych 1200 or stat 1000
i’d also appreciate any prof recommendations!

Context... I need biochem for my nutrition degree. I just finished my second year but haven't taken biochem. First year I got C's in both intro chem courses. I'm going to take biochem 1 in the fall, but is the biochem lab do-able at the same time as someone who is weaker in chemistry? Or would doing both at the same time help me grasp it? Intimidated and scared is an understatement but I need to do it at some point! I need some thoughts...

i just need a good place to let it all out LOL

PSA: don’t step near the white line by Extended Education unless you want to get yelled at by a construction worker

I know usually it's allowed for international students to work full-time, but i took a gap term for the winter, so would i still be okay to work this summer?

Also yes I have reached out to the International student advising but thought i'd ask here as well in the mean time. Thanks in advance

BAIS student here...student profile says 66 credits completed while Aurora says 60.

Never changed programs - always been a distance learner.

Thoughts? Whos right?

The deadline is tomorrow but I had to ask for an extension because I still have not received it yet and might have to pay out of pocket. Do I still wait for the loan?

I really want to volunteer for research when I become 2nd year student but Im not sure if I understand how stuff like this works correctly. I will be enrolled as a 2nd year student on Winter term, will it still be possible to get volunteer chance then? And how do you usually get this kind of chance? Do you just directly ask prof?

I parked my car around 8:40 a.m. in Lot 8. The lot itself wasn’t completely full but the lane I parked in (and the nearby lanes closer to the exit) were almost full so I parked there because it was closer to my class. When I arrived there was only one available space left in that lane. There was already a car parked on the left and another car parked on the right. I carefully parked in between them and made sure I only took up one space. Later around 12:40 p.m. when I came back one of the cars next to me had left. I think that’s why I got the ticket because it may have looked like I was not centered or taking up two spaces after that car left. I honestly did not try to park improperly or take up two spaces. I just parked between the two cars already there. I also wish I had taken a photo right away but I didn’t see the ticket until I left the lot.

VIOLATION: IMPROPERLY PARKED

Has anyone dealt with this kind of situation before and do they usually accept appeals like this?

Do any graduating students have a parking pass that they would be willing to transfer to me??
I live outside of the city so busses aren’t really an opinion and I am having trouble figuring out what to do for parking!!

Hi guyss. Today I have a chem 1100 test in room 240 located in University College building. I think I dropped my student id card in that room or in front of that room after the test. If anyone saw and collected it please tell me before I lost 25 bucks 😭. I don’t know if I can use my driver license for the exam or not. I can’t write my student number here. Thank you guys!

Does UofM have a fragrance enthusiasts club?

If my tuition fee is $1500 then I pay $1000 today then $500 on the next day, is that alright? I am doing that just because of the daily limit purchase on my bank account which is $1000 only.

I suppose that’s totally fine right? Anyone did the same before?

Hi, I’m considering applying for Arthur V. Mauro Residence (AVM) at the University of Manitoba. I’ll be 24 years old when I start, so I think I meet the age requirement. I read that AVM is mainly for upper-year or 22+ students. University of Manitoba I wanted to ask: Is AVM a good place for graduate/international students? Is it generally safe? Is it easy to meet people there, or is it more isolated/private? Do students usually hang out in each other’s rooms, do group study sessions, cook together, etc.? Would you recommend AVM over other residences? Also, how safe does Winnipeg feel overall for students? I’ve seen many comments online about crime rates, so I’m a bit nervous since I’ll be moving there alone from another country. Any advice would help a lot.

Hey med students! Is it worth it to go into a master program in my gap year. I received a rejection from the med program this year and am quite devastated. I'm looking for my options to fill this year. Does anyone have any experience or insights on this? Is it worth it to do a masters as a "back up"?
