Elearn sending me notification for assignments on/after deadlines instead of before deadlines is so stupid

Bruh just why

It just sends me a closing notification for a midterm that I completed weeks ago, as if it was today

So scary

Paralegal Diploma

I’m reaching out to see if anyone here is from Ontario and has gone through the application process recently. I’m considering applying myself and would love to hear about others' experiences.

  • For those who have applied: What was the process like for you? How long did it take, and what steps were involved?
  • Acceptance Rates for Credentials: I’m curious—does holding post-secondary education credentials seem to give an edge in the acceptance process? Any insight would be helpful.

I’d really appreciate any tips or feedback from those who have already navigated this process. Thanks in advance!

Social life

Hi, I will be attending Capu on Jan (spring 2025) for Bachelor of Science program. I'm a transfer student so I'm wondering how is the social life here going so far. Especially, for science courses it's such a small class as I've seen the number of seats from the course registration planning.

Questions about the acting diploma

On top of the Bachelor of Motion Picture art I'm also considering applying to the acting for stage and screen diploma. Is anyone in/has been in it? What was your experience like? Were you allowed to work as an actor (or not) while you were in the program (both during the terms & during scheduled breaks)? Was the program useful to you? How much screen acting did you actually do? Were you taught anything about auditing/finding an agent/etc? Was there anything bad about the program? What's the course load like? Basically anything you think I should know to make an informed decision :)

Questions about the Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts

Hi! I'm thinking of transferring to CapU and applying to the Bachelor of Motion Picture Arts. I was wondering if anyone who's in the program/been in recently could tell me more about it? What is/was your experience like? Was it worth it? I'd also like to know how much theory and hands-on stuff you do in the program. Do you collaborate with the acting students ? If you've graduated from it do you, looking back, think you were taught useful skills that are helping you in your career?

Do early admissions matter for art students?

Hi, I am thinking of applying to CapUthis year for 2D animation or the IDEAS program, and i don’t know if they care about early decisions. I still have a lot to do but I was wondering how much to hone in on how fast I should get my portfolio done. The extra time would be great but if there is greater chance of being expected for applying, I would try to apply soon.

Let me know your experiences, thanks!

  2. Is there a list of practicum spots that the school chooses from and places u in?
  3. Is it two semesters per year? Because online the diploma is split into 4 terms
  4. Is this a Monday- Friday diploma? Or classes are based on my own schedule?

Thanks all

Help! Sending a package from abroad to friend at CapU?

I’m hoping someone can help me out with this!

So my bestfriend just went on exchange for one semester at CapU and I want to send her a gift in the mail while she’s there.

I only know she lives in the student housing on campus, but she hasn’t given me the exact address - although I have asked for it indirectly, because it would be best if its a surprise that I am sending her something.

Do the uni have a postoffice address I can use or do I need her dorm/hall number to address the package to her?

Study participants needed for depression biomarkers study

The UBC Mood Disorders Centre at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health is recruiting participants for a depression biomarkers study within Metro Vancouver & Lower Mainland.

The purpose of this study is to (1) test whether a specific combination of biomarkers discovered during our previous studies can help predict how someone will respond to treatment, and (2) to explore other possible biomarkers that may predict treatment response. Biomarkers are biological features such as proteins, genes, an brain images, that indicate the state of a disease in a person. This information may help us develop tests in the future that can guide treatment choice more effectively and more quickly.

You may be able to participate if you are:

• Are 18 to 65 years of age

• Have been diagnosed with depression or suspect you may have depression and are currently feeling depressed. Common symptoms include: depressed mood, diminished interest or pleasure in activities, change in appetite, poor sleep, fatigue, low self-esteem, and poor concentration.

• Are willing to take a standard antidepressant medication as treatment for your depression.

• Are willing to undergo blood/lab tests.

There will be 8 in-person visits over 12 weeks:

  • 1 x Electrocardiography (ECG) (Screening only)

  • 2 x Collection of blood (Baseline, Week 8)

  • 2 x Stool Sample Collection (Baseline, Week 8)

  • 2 x Urine Collection (Baseline, Week 8)

  • 2 x Electroencephalography (EEG) (Baseline, Week 8)

  • 3 x Computerized Cognitive Testing (Baseline, Week 8, Week 12)

  • 8 x Clinical assessments done by a psychiatrist

Please note that you must not currently be using any recreational and/or non-prescription drugs, have a drinking problem, or have had a history of drug use or a drinking problem within the past six months.

The study is being conducted by Dr. Raymond Lam at the Mood Disorders Centre, UBC Hospital.

You will receive an honorarium for each study visit to cover costs of participating.

For more information about this study and how to enroll, please contact us at 604.822.7804 or Lam.MDDResearch2 @ ubc.ca
