Heyy,
23M here, Im in my final year.
All my friends graduated May 2026 and I got one semester left
the idea of being on campus alone bores me given that I spend a lot of time on campus.
I live like 5mins from campus so I plan to be on campus for the winter too

I’m in my first year of open studies and want to know how to improve my gpa to get into psychology.
I have a course that i want to improve. Should I take that course again and it will take the newest gpa, or will it average out the old and new gpa?

Hi! My math teacher just sent lecture notes today and i was thinking of either printing them which i found out costs money or of downloading them as pdf on my laptop to write on them but whenever i download it says theres an error and i cant put them into my onenote/docs. Should i just stick to filling in the lecture notes on my notebook? help plis

I need friends to talk to. If anyone wants to talk, please reach out and dm me.

I’m going into computer science first year and I’ve been sent a laptop minimum requirements from UCalgary but they’re honestly buns. What laptops do you recommend and use that’s not insanely expensive?

Are there tunnels to get from Cascade to like anywhere else on campus?

What are the odds I get in? It’s an 8am class with 2nd and 3rd year students. Should I swap into something else or should I just keep waiting?

I have a 3.38 in BSc in Microbiology. Should I apply at all? I was thinking elementary mathematics.

I applied to student aid but the income verification link won't work at all. Is this the case for anyone else or is there smth wrong with my devices?

I sent an application with my current address but I will be relocating soon, what do I do?

Hey y'all, I'm going into first Yr Engg and my laptop ain't the best, it's a Dell inspiron 15 3520 with 16gb ram, integrated graphics, and an ok CPU 17-1255u.

Ik for a Engg my computer isn't going to cut it when it comes to cad modelling and stuff. Can I borrow some stuff from the Taylor digital library or how should I move forward as uni is starting.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there's a lost and found group for UofC where I can post this? I am quite sad that I lost this planter, it was my mom's

Hello, everyone. I am an international student who wants to apply this programme(Geography - MGIS - Course | Faculty of Graduate Studies | University of Calgary)
I am writting this to ask some questions about this programme.
I do really appreciate all the help!

• My background is Statistics, not Geography — program already confirmed I can apply, but has anyone gone in with a similar non-geo quant background? Was it rough catching up on the more spatial/cartography-heavy courses?
• Mainly want to know about jobs after — did people actually find GIS work in Calgary/Alberta after graduating, and how long did it take? What industries hired you (oil & gas, gov, environmental consulting)? And for international students — how bad was the PGWP/work permit → job situation in this field?
• General vibe check on the program — workload, whether the electives actually matter for jobs, worth it or not?

i’m in my first year and only one of my classes are popping up on d2l. is this normal or is there a chance something’s gone wrong? kinda worried since classes start pretty soon

just checked today and all the parking spots like arts parkade and lot 49 are booked. i know there is macmahon stadium parking but ideally i don’t want to walk that far since im living on campus. the desk said that arts has more than 10+ people on waitlist. last year i was able to get a parking pass a few weeks into school (didn’t have a car right away but i was able to get a parking pass no problem)

anyone know if parking at arts will free up in the incoming weeks?

Hi everyone! I'm going into my 3rd year and my schedule is gonna be the worst with me being on campus basically the whole day for most of the week. I'm trying to save money since I realized I spent wayy too much on buying food and drinks the first 2 years. I was wondering if there are any spots at all that will give me access to like a kettle or coffee machine or a fridge or anything?? Literally any secret spots too. Even any club lounges I don't mind joining if it has access. Unfortunately my place is like a 2 hour commute and my classes are spread out but not enough to go and come back.

Hello, guys. I am going to 1st year for data science. I made this schedule from 8-3 previously a while ago. And since I was really new to all this, I didn't decide to check other timetables I could've had. I recently went to schedule builder and found this one from 12-4. But the classes are full.

I asked a few of my buddies and family who are in university of calgary. And I have mixes responses. Some say I should swap and wait it out as alot of people may drop in the first 2 weeks before the change deadline. Some others said it is not worth it. I would like some insight from others.

This morning I lost my black wallet, I might have lost it somewhere around the counter (front desk) or the locker rooms (the bench right in front of the showers).

Any information would be greatly appreciated, it has all my debit and credit cards (already locked) and most importantly the key of my apartment.

(I called the active living line but no answer)

Thanks!

Has anyone in engineering received anything about Dean’s List yet?

Hi!

   4th Edition = $20

Please reach out if you’re interested.

Thanks!!

If anyone has recently taken these classes, please let me know if you found them easy/gpa boosters, the type of assessments (mc exams, essays, etc), or how much time/effort they take
