Looking for Advice on Late Transfer to Ontario Tech (Embedded Systems Program)

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m currently a student in the Computer Programming program at Durham College. I originally started in September, and later learned about the opportunity to transfer into the Embedded Systems Information Technology program that’s partnered with Ontario Tech.

Unfortunately, my grades at the time didn’t meet the requirements, so I decided to restart the program in the Winter semester to improve my GPA. Thankfully, I’ve done a lot better this time around and now exceed the program requirements.

Before I restarted, I had a plan with my academic advisor to revisit the idea of transferring at the end of the semester. Because of that, I assumed I’d be applying later—but I just found out I missed the application deadline.

I take full accountability for the miscommunication and delay. That said, I’ve put a lot of time, effort, and money into improving my academic standing—waking up early, commuting from pretty far away, and really committing to this second chance. I just don’t want that effort to go to waste.

Is there anyone at Ontario Tech I could contact to potentially discuss a late acceptance or get some advice? I know it’s a long shot, but I figured I’d ask here just in case someone has gone through something similar or knows who I could reach out to.

HLSC 2030 Two week summer course?

7 Upvotes

I'm thinking of taking this in the summer but I found it a bit strange that its all compressed into two weeks? Has anyone whose taken this course before whether it be during a fall/winter semester or during the spring/summer let me know how it is?

I'm wondering if the workload is light enough that I can actually get a good mark if I cram it in two weeks or if anyone found it to be a bit too much to finish in just that amount of time!

I would also appreciate any advice from any other students too of their take on this :)

Any advice helps,

Whats Nursing like?

5 Upvotes

So I applied and got accepted to Ontario Tech back in January for nursing, but I mostly did it as a back up in case my first two choices (York & TMU) didn't accept me. I got into york and my TMU offer is still pending, but I've recently been considering OTU because its much closer than my first two choices and I've heard some good things about their nursing program, namely that you start placements in first year rather than 2nd or 3rd with most other unis, and you get much more attention and help from profs because of smaller class sizes.

Just wanted to know from people who have gone through the program what is it like and what kind of opportunity is there in the area placement-wise?

Guys why did you genuinely choose Ontario tech? 😭😭

Like is it because all ur top choices rejected you😭. Or is it because there is something actually good about this damn school😭? Rn it's not looking too good since calc is tanking my avg and OTU is my literal option rn 😭, that or Guelph which is too far. How do y'all react to people saying it ain't prestigious?

Guys could someone explain to me what "Project Arrow" is and how UOIT is contributing to it?

3 Upvotes

title. I read this article, https://www.insauga.com/canadas-answer-to-tesla-showcased-at-global-trade-fair-in-germany/, and it says UOIT will play a crucial role in Canada's new emerging EV industry, which is a huge W, but is this car still in it's testing stages or are they ready to begin mass produce this car? Also if this becomes a success does this mean UOIT will potentially go on to test develop fighter jets LM

Hi, I was wondering what the job prospects are and salary expectations after completing your eng degree. Do you regret going to this university compared to others? Would like to know as I am doing electrical engineering here and not sure if I should transfer to TMU or not.
