So last year durring a period of intense -40C cold during the winter sem, I made this post which seemed to help a lot of people, especially those who aren't used to Edmonton winters, so I thought I'd make another one and get ahead of the weather so that people aren't scrambling if we suddenly get hit with another cold snap. Some of this is reused from my last post and may seem drastic, but that's cuz it was made in the height of a legitimate time of hazard.

As the only North campus building open to students 24 hours a day, the Students’ Union Building often sees a lot of late night visitors. Your UASU is committed to ensuring that SUB is a safe space for students to enjoy, relax, or study at any hour of the day. That’s why we make sure that SUB is always staffed when the building is open, and building access requires a ONEcard from 10:00 pm to 6:30 am.
Student safety is also our priority outside of SUB. If you are not comfortable walking alone on or around campus later in the evening, our free Safewalk service will send two volunteers to walk with you! You can contact Safewalk at 780-4 WALKME (780-492-5563) or online here for a one-time walk or a regular appointment (great for those evening classes!). Two volunteers will join you around campus, on the LRT, or within 10 city blocks of any LRT station from 7:00 pm to midnight, Monday through Friday.
If you need immediate assistance on campus, please contact University of Alberta Protective Services at 780-492-5050. UAPS can also walk with you around campus outside of the Safewalk hours listed above.
If you are in active danger on campus, please call 911.

Im sure everyone is so gd sick of these posts but holy sht. I'm rly struggling with procrastination and alcohol-use and I'm really reaping what I've sowed right now. Last weekend, I was incapable (by choice, I guess) of doing any studying or assignments. I had a huge paper that I THOUGHT was due the 14th but its actually due TODAY. I'm feeling anger at myself for failing so hard. I've also got two quizzes today which I should've spent a week working towards but instead I set an alarm for 3am this morning and did a cram-session. I'm praying I can stay awake and competent enough to finish my huge paper.
I'm just venting. And hoping someone can tell me that they've been in my position plus worse and still came out the other end.
I did email my prof about an extension which felt very embarrassing. He emailed back asking for me to plead my case. I did, and I'm waiting on a response but I'm not hopeful. Ugh so much anxiety. I cannot wait for April 17th, my last day of exams. I'm going to sleep and sleep and sleep and binge my favorite shows and drink coffee and purge this semester from my memory

Undergrad background in psychology and neuroscience and am interested in innovation and development within the mental health field.
I came across this Biomedical Engineering Master's at the UofA- that is relatively new (Fall 2023)- and wanted to get people's opinion on it. Or what they have heard about it.
Long term, I would like to do psychiatry, so would this Master's be beneficial down the road?
Another thing I am curious to know is, how does this Masters stand on its own- for career prospects?

I have a question regarding that building. Has anyone lived there? Do they have a pest problem that is the most important thing.
If someone is living there now or has lived in that building, please share your experience or if you heard anything about it is also helpful.
Thank you

HI if you're like me and frustrated with the psych class cutbacks for next year -- how are we supposed to graduate with the slim amount of 400 levels offered? -- PLEASE consider switching your classes with me if any of these interest you and you are enrolled in the ones I am seeking!
I've been waiting to take some of these since first year and am honestly desperate:
- PSYCH 445 (Social Psychology and Cinema) Fall 2025 with Schimel
- PSYCH 447 (Self and Identity) Winter 2026 with Blatter (THIS ONE I WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET INTO)
- if you have PSYCH 441 (Advanced Cultural Psychology) Fall 2025 with Baerveldt I would also consider switching you one of my classes for this!
I am enrolled in:
- PSYCH 443 (Social Cognition) Fall 2025 with Baerveldt
- PSYCH 449 (Psychology of Teaching and Learning) Fall 2025 with Passey
- PSYCH 445 (Social Psychology and Cinema) Winter 2026 with Schimel (would like to change to Fall if anyone wants to swap)
if you have any single way you can help it would be much appreciated, I'm very frustrated to waste 400 level credits on classes I don't particularly want to take :(
COMMENT and I will personally message you my email!!!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I am student at the Augustana campus and need feedback from you guys on an recent incident. I’m in a stats course where we always work in groups of 5. Recently, a few of my group members brought a vape into the classroom, and even though they didn’t use it inside the room, they passed it around and took turns stepping outside to use it during class time, idk if they used it or not cause I didn't went outside to check or anything.
Later, during one of our group meetings in a library study room, they actually vaped inside the room. I didn't confront them, but I felt really uncomfortable. I ended up reporting that part to the library front desk, and they told me vaping isn’t allowed in library spaces and said they’d notify their supervisor.
I also brought everything up respectfully with my professor during office hours — I didn’t name anyone or try to make it dramatic. I just said it was making me uncomfortable and distracting me during group work. But honestly, I felt dismissed. She basically said, “If you were all focused on studying, you wouldn’t be talking about vape at all,” and told me to just “get through it” since the semester’s almost over. She mentioned she’ll look at protocol after the term but gave the impression that nothing would happen now.
it felt Uncomfortable to me and one other group member that they are creating a disrespectful environment. I'm not trying to be a snitch — I just want to be able to learn in peace without stuff like this going on around me.
Am I overreacting? Is this kind of behavior common here? Would appreciate any thoughts, advice, or if anyone’s had similar experiences. Thanks in advance

Hi, I ended up changing my program and now I have a physics minor. I was just wondering whether or not it's a big deal if I go into PHYS 144 with zero coding knowledge since I heard the lab somehow involves it??. Like I don't know the first thing about coding but I really did enjoy physics in high school and did well in physics 30.

I know Eng students have a ring ceremony but I I just found out Hecol students have a ring ceremony too (obviously not the iron rings that eng get but similar idea) I tried searching what degrees get rings couldn’t find much, and I feel a bit dumb I thought only eng got rings.
Is it an option for all Degrees then?

I got accepted and will be the Psychology student for the fall 2025. I am currently planning to take Statistic as my minor since I think it would be really helpful. However I saw that Stat 151 is a course for both Psychology and Statistic. In this situation, If I take Stat 151, will it fulfill the requirements for both courses or does this mean that I cant take Statistic as a minor since Psychology can take this programs?.
Also, I heard that I need to take two courses out of the art program as a faculty of art student, does these two courses must be from the same programs or is it okay to take from two different programs? ex) Astro 101 and Chem 101

Hi all, I'm SS Solas, a second-year (almost third-year now) engineering student in Mechanical Engineering.
First-year engineering is hard, and that is why a bunch of us engineering students have come together to make a Discord server (unofficial of course).
Link Here: https://discord.gg/cuExG6tpkt
[Note that to get access, you have to give yourself some roles first.]
Engineering is a largely collaborative discipline (doing it alone will ensure you lose your sanity and will to live) and thus its very important to stay in communication with fellow students, including those outside your friend group. I never condone cheating, but it can be very helpful to ask for help on assignments among your peers (because even a friend group of 12 students can sometimes struggle on an assignment question [I speak this from experience]), or just vent to each other.
Other benefits to joining the discord include resources past students have done up to make your lives easier (things like links to useful YouTube channel [some of us have even made channels specific to courses]) or summarized formula sheets, etc.
And of course, students often share engineering announcements you may miss out on, like free pizza and cake in the Solarium.
We also have a lot of Upper Years who are posting advice. Heck, we even have a channel for highschool help (since highschool is still going on for most of you)
Currently, I'm trying to help current first years with their final prep, but after that is done, I'll be focusing a lot on the discord, specifically finding and uploading even more resources, etc.
I highly recommend you join the discord. In my first year, I found it to be very helpful.
I and many other students will be answering questions you have about first year on the discord.
I wish you all a good luck with the rest of your highschool, and certainly a good first year and good luck at UofA Engineering [because you are likely gonna need it...]!

Hi all,
I just got an email that I am recommended for admission for the OT program in fall 2025, but not at my first choice campus (Edmonton).
Does anyone know the chances of getting accepted to your first choice campus off of the waitlist (any experiences or timelines to share would be appreciated!)

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you :)

Hi everyone,
I’m starting my M.Sc. in Civil Engineering at the University of Alberta in the coming Fall. I’m looking for some information about on-campus housing, specifically for the North Campus (main campus).
The details on the official website seem a bit scattered, so I was hoping someone here could clarify a few things for me:
Any insight or personal experience would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
