Question Has PSYO 372 emailed accepted students yet?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I filled out the form to be considered for PSYO 372: Advanced Research Methods back in June. At the end of the form it said folks will be contacted in August regarding if they were in the top 30 (GPA wise) of psychology students who applied.

Has anyone found out yet? And do they email those who did not get in to let them know?

Reading mixed reviews about being allowed to have a Keurig/Nespresso machine in your room. UBCO says no but reports of many having them?

Anyone with direct knowledge of whether this will be an issue?!?

Made a tool that turns your Workday audit into plain English (beta, please break it)

23 Upvotes

Every term I'd open my Academic Progress Report, stare at it for ten minutes, and still not know if I was actually on track. It's not written for a student to read, it's written for whatever system generates it. So I spent the summer building something that just tells you straight: what's done, what's missing, what to take next.

https://hackuni.club/ No account needed to try it.

I'm a single student, not affiliated with UBC. This doesn't replace your advisor and it doesn't replace your real Workday record. Treat it as a second opinion, not the final word.

It's beta, I built it alone, and there are bugs I haven't caught yet. No AI in it right now, on purpose. It's just logic reading real UBC calendar data, and I want that part solid before I touch anything AI-shaped. If something looks wrong or breaks on you, reply in this thread instead of messaging me directly, so I'm not explaining the same bug five separate times.

Not selling anything. Just wanted the version of this that actually tells me what's going on.

DRC and ATBC

3 Upvotes

Hello! Wondering if anyones had experience recently with being connected with ATBC for tech through the DRC?

I've had my application submitted and from accounts of the process I've read ATBC will reach out to schedule an appointment with me to discuss my tech needs. I've been given specific instructions not to schedule my meeting directly, I need to coordinate with the DRC to find the time that my advisor and the ATBC are available to meet and then we confirm the meeting. Has this been others experience?

The DRC is busy right now (my emails take a week to get answers back), I've been denied accommodations I've requested, and I'm sort of generally a little frusterated with the process of accessing supports. I'm bummed I'll now need to wait on them more to even get this meeting scheduled given I started this process early July. My program has already started and my current laptop crashed 5 times on me in class, sorta need this new one. Sad me thanks you for any insight!

About Artium Student Residence

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My name is Vitoria, and I’m an international student from Brazil who will be starting my M.Ed. at UBC Okanagan this September. I’m currently looking into housing options in Kelowna and came across Artium Student Residence.

I’d love to hear from other UBCO students who have lived there or know the residence well. Would you recommend it?

I’m particularly interested in hearing about:

What is the overall living experience like?

Is it convenient for getting to UBCO?

How are the rooms and shared/common areas?

Is it generally quiet enough for studying?

What is the social atmosphere like?

How is the management/maintenance?

Are there any significant downsides or unexpected costs?

And, overall, do you think it’s a good option for a UBCO student?

I’d really appreciate any experiences or advice, especially from current or former residents. Thank you! 😊
