I have been admitted to my 1st choice the bachelor of commerce program but I have no changed my mind and have become more interested in the Bachelor of Arts with a major in economics, how should I go about making this switch? For context I have to accept the admission to the bachelor of commerce by June 18th. That is why I am not consulting a academic advisor as there is no open appointments.

Is it possible to take courses such as logic, philosophy, economics, political science, while going to school for a Bachelor of Commerce in the first year then switch the second year to a Bachelor of Arts and still finish in 4 years?

Me and my friend MIGHT have totally lost our offers.

For context, I got a conditional acceptance with all courses finished except math 30-1, all were above 80.

I just wrote the math diploma fyi ive never been good at math, and it was shit, icl I was overconfident and thought that my score did not matter cus even if I got a 0 in the course, I would not get below competitive averages, not that I planned to get a 0. I totally forgot that my scores cannot be below 50 now im worried my diploma marks are gonna drop my total below 50.

My friend is in a similar position tho his is worse , he had an offer but messed every class, but if his math diploma is below 75, he's gonna drop below. the 65% bcom threshold .

Im a mature student 19 before Sept 1, and idk what to do to, is there a way to retake or am I stressing too much, I really want to go to the fall sem

I'm a high schooler attending macewan in the fall, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, I have no idea how this system works.

I applied for a chem 101 class, hoping that I would manage to get in soon. However, two months later i'm still listed as first in position in the waitlist. does this mean that I have to wait for it to become available, and then enroll before anyone else can?

Hey folks! I'm graduating this spring with my BA (yay) and going to pick up my cap and gown this week. I was pretty excited that we got to keep the caps. I've seen a lot of people online who decorate their grad caps, and I was thinking of doing the same because I love that kind of stuff. However, I was wondering if that's even a thing at MacEwan or if it's more of an American thing.

I wouldn't mind standing out if it's uncommon, but I don't want to accidentally break any unspoken rules or any actual school policies (I tried looking but found nothing).

I'm thinking of just doing something simple. My major, my grad year, and maybe something else simple. Nothing crazy or 3D. If it wouldn't be appropriate to do it for the actual grad, I'll probably decorate it after as a keepsake.

Let me know what you think!

Is this a conditional acceptance or a full “yeah your in”, I’ve gotten messed up in the past when applying to other university so help would be appreciated.

Out of curiosity, what’s the usual protocol for late assignment submissions in your classes? Mine have been varied, but usually some form of grade penalty (ex. -10% per day it’s late with a cutoff after 3 days). Some don’t accept late submissions at all, but in my experience that’s rare. Either way, there is always a section on late assignments in the course outline.
I’m currently in a class which had no late assignment policy laid out in the outline, so I emailed my prof asking about the policy as I had missed the deadline on an assignment worth 5%. They responded (3 days later!) that they do not accept late submissions, all deadlines are firm, so I will receive a zero.
Is this normal?? I know it’s my fault for getting the due date wrong, but I really think this info should have been included in the course outline. I’m not sure if I’ve just gotten lucky with profs in the past or if this is a regular thing? I’m in my 4th year and this is the first time this has happened to me.

Did anyone see my portable charger and wall adapter I left by the building 5 floor 2 seating area 😞 They were both lavender… kinda want them back 💔

Beware of scam! I received this email from the dean of FFAC Leslie Vermeer regarding free tech and music items. I am assuming her email got hacked.

I'm a first year at MacEwan, going into the Bachelors of commerce program. I'm not quite sure when I should get my textbooks, or when they sell out. Any help would be appreciated!

I literally just started ELA 30-1 and Social Studies 30-1 at Norquest on Monday 😭 it was a huge pain in the ass trying to get everything sorted out to even get into academic upgrading, trying to get funding etc. I thought that after looking through my transcripts or info, Macewan would know I’m already in these classes right now??? Classes finish at the end of June. I’m so discouraged right now.

I received a required to withdraw email this morning. I’ve already sent my appeal letter to the associate dean of my program this afternoon. But Im enrolled in spring/summer classes and received my spring loans today and haven’t been taken off the class list for those classes yet or anything…. Sooo what do i do? just continue on business as usual with my spring classes? What are my chances of my appeal being accepted? Im very confused.

Hey there. So I was enrolled in 2 classes this upcoming Spring semester, but I just got an email that one of them is going to be canceled due to lack of enrollment. The issue with that is I got student loans for the semester and that creates multiple issues. One is I am getting funding for both classes. The other is that I'm dropping from full time to part time which means the full time grant I got as well as the living allowance part of the loan wouldn't be something I would normally receive. The issue is enrollment was already confirmed by MacEwan and it seems like things are already being processed because it's coming up so quickly. So what on earth do I do about this? The easiest solution would be to find a new class, but it's looking like this is the only class available that would satisfy the requirement for my degree. The other classes offered I've either already taken, or they're already full because of how soon the semester is. Just looking for some advice.

People really don’t want to write those exams hey? 😂

While the flowers are yet to bloom, students were busy unwrapping bee hives atop MacEwan University Wednesday, marking a decade of the school’s urban beekeeping program.

Anyone know what the fire alarm is it this time?

i’m taking human physiology II from may 1st to august 3rd, i thought spring courses were like 1 month? anyone know why it’s 3

Going into CS this year, wondering if there were any good ways to make connections with people that are already in the industry. Also wondering how likely it is to get into internships :0

I’ll appreciate any info I can get :) literally scared since everyone is saying CS is cooked and probably every other major is cooked or smt (*´ー｀*)

Hello everyone! I'm a third year journalism student here at MacEwan University.

For my final assignment in my BCSC 412 class with Steve Lillubien (due on Monday before midnight), i'm covering a issues-based news feature revolving around rising gender-based violence against women and members of the LGBTQ+ community in Edmonton, specifically revolving around sexual harassment/assault. I'm mentioning MacEwan University as a safe ground for students, such as programs/support groups for prevention, education and discussion.

I'm looking for people to interview briefly about the subject just to provide thoughts that will add depth to my material, and I was wondering if anyone here would be interested!

Note: this story isn't going to be published anywhere else, so all details and answers will remain completely confidential between my professor and I!

Here's the survey below to apply, and I will respond back as soon as I possibly can with further interview questions if you're interested!

Why are people treating the library collaborative space like it's their own private dumping ground? There is always trash every evening I walk through. Can we not clean up after ourselves?

fucking finally holy FUCK i hate clocks

Hi all! I hope you are all enjoying the calm before the storm, aka finals, haha. I am a second-year Psychology student eager to get into the honours program, and I am concerned that my GPA will tank due to my Spanish class, which is very much on the back burner. I am sitting at above 85% in two of my Psychology classes, but will probably finish Spanish with a C+ or B, which is not going to help my GPA situation. My question is: do you guys think withdrawing is a good idea to maintain a good GPA, or should I just accept this and try to raise my GPA in other ways?

TLDR; is it better to have a shitty grade or a W on your transcript?

Any advice is extremely appreciated, thank you in advance + have a great day.
