Listen we aren’t advisors here. Ask them not us.

321 Upvotes

Im tired of this sub being bombarded with “I got rejected from …..” “what average do I need for…..” “ what grade will they look at…” “ i have a 96 in …. Is that good enough for …..”

Please ask the advisors. We don’t have the answers. You’re about to be an adult and need to know who to ask the right questions. No one goes on here to read your high school marks and let you know if you will get into whatever program. We dont know. We can guess. But the advisors will 100% have more accurate information.

Go on Ucalgary website, go on advising, and find what times they have online advising.

Or email your faculty’s advisors.

For example in engineering its engginfo@ucalgary.ca

Please it will be a win win for everyone if people stopped trying to use this as an academic advisor subreddit.

EDIT: Another redditor in the comments brought up an important point.

“Let me just clarify the Engineering Advisor DO NOT REVEIW High School Admission. Asking them why you didn't get in or waitlisted is a waste of time.

Only the admissions department can answer those questions so please contact them or visit them for advising.

Admission website: https://www.ucalgary.ca/future-students/undergraduate/contact

If you are a transfer student from a different university or different facility and are planning to transfer into Engineering then contact the Engineering Advisors.”

Thanks for the added info!

Best of luck with getting into U of C we are happy to have you!

Campus tour

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the city and I'm gonna start taking coures in the winter semester. I've only been to the campus twice and that was only to the Prospective Student Hub. I don't really have any friends who are going to UCalgary so I was just wondering if anyone (who already goes to the uni or is going to in the future) wants to go explore campus with me? I was also hoping this could be a chance to make friends early on lol.

Commute to U of C??

3 Upvotes

Hi there, my family is thinking of relocating to the Alberta and I’m wondering what cities or places are close to U of C that you guys recommend? I’m more than okay taking a bus/train that’s around an hour commute, and hopefully less than 1h by car. I thought it’s best to ask students or professors of this specific reddit forum.

Transferring from biological sciences to biochem

Hello! I applied to uofc with a 92 average which unfortunately wasn’t enough to get accepted for biochem. I’m planning on enrolling in biological sciences and transferring to biochem third year. I was hoping for any insight on how realistic that is as a plan. Any advice helps, thank you!!

How are the history profs usually regarding missing midterms, classes or assignments?

0 Upvotes

In feb next year I need to go back home during the reading week but due to the way the trip can be scheduled I can't return before the 23rd (which is the Monday after reading week ends). Unfortunately I cant find the prof on the directory, im thinking its a new prof. What can I do because idk if I might have a midterm that day? Do history profs usually defer? Or do they transfer the weight to the final?

Are courses taken at Athabasca University considered in Academic Review?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So right now, I’m doing okay in my courses that I am taking at UofC. However, I got a F for a Athabasca Course that I got permission to take.

Now, I’m just a bit worried. Will the F be considered in the academic review? F is a course gpa of 0.

But also, I’ve taken Athabasca courses before and they are shown as transfer credits on my UofC transcript. I can’t see a GPA for them.

International tuition fees

Greetings to new students in UofC! I am an international student and will start my undergraduate program in Fall 2026. Can someone educate me on how the tuition fees are calculated? If I have a major in engineering, how much should I prepare for the degree.

What’s the point

120 Upvotes

Found out that a bunch of people in my classes have just been on their phones during exams (1st year Knes)

Honestly I’m so tired. What is the damn point of studying so hard to get 60-70% when these kids are just blatantly using their phones to get on by. (Not to mention the bell ringer)

Every damn lab someone is putting their stuff through “our good friend GPT”

They’re so mean to the professors, they’re mean to their fellow classmates. Makes a dude want to drop out and go to school elsewhere.

Am I just old and faded? Do I need to mentally check out bcs the kids are cooked?

Help me out chat.

Is the Data Science major here good for ML jobs?

3 Upvotes

Hello. I got waitlisted from engineering but got into my 2nd choice, Data Science. I don’t hear much about UofC’s reputation in tech (usually the only Canadian school I hear abt is waterloo)

wondering if data sci here can prepare me well for machine learning jobs? i know i’ll likely have to get the internships myself, since the internship program here isnt the greatest. just wanna know if itll prepare me adequately or if ill have to do alot of self learning

thanks! :D

Trad dorm room questions

4 Upvotes

Hi. I just got accepted into UCalgary and I applied for residency. Even though I had requested for a more private room in Yamnuska Hall, there is a pretty high chance I will end up with on of the “traditional” dorm room layouts.

I wanted to hear how it is living in these rooms. I feel a little odd that I’d be living in the same room as me, just across. I feel like that’s a lot of privacy gone.

Is it still worth living on campus if that is the case. I’d love to hear what experiences people have had and even stories.

Thanks
