Health Insurance opt-in

I started studies at Dal this term and applied to opt-in to their health and dental plan over a month ago and paid the opt in deposit fee. However, I haven’t received any confirmation of approval on my opt-in request and therefore still don’t have an active insurance coverage plan. Any ideas how long this process usually takes and who I can contact for this?

Overnight study spots on campus?

Are there any buildings on campus that are open 24/7 where I can go to study while I pull an all nighter?

F1 Society?

Hey,

I saw a post regarding this a while ago but have not heard anything since. I would like to create a ratified society so I am looking for potential members and execs to form one. I have a few interested people so far but I think the required amount is 10? People that I can talk about F1 with on campus are scarce to say the least!

Grad school admissions gpa

Hello! I'm applying to Dalhousie's master's SLP and audiology program for the 2026 year. I do not currently attend Dalhousie. I understand the graduate program only looks at the last 60 hours. Does anyone know if a class that has been repeated falls in the last 60 hours, does the new grade or both grades count toward GPA calculations? I saw the undergrad will take the higher grade, but I didn't know if that applied to grad school gpa calculations. Thanks so much!

Social Science Course Suggestions?

Im a first year medsci student going into their second year this fall, I’m in this program to hit the prereqs for dals pharmacy program in a couple years.

I hate psychology so I didn’t take it this year as the program schedule advises, and instead took an elective and GWST 1015. Now because I didn’t take psychology I gotta figure out two social science courses to take next year as part of my prereqs, any suggestions for what would count?

Looking for something 1000’s level or lighter course load as second year medsci is looking tough

BIOL 2020 notes

Does anyone have notes from BIOL2020 section 1 with Andrew that you’d be willing to send me? I’ve got all the slides typed out but there’s not a lot of info on them and the lecture recordings sound doesn’t seem to be working. If anyone does I’d greatly appreciate it!

Dal applicant issues

Hi y'all, I put the wrong OUAC number in, and the Dal team removed it so I can add the right one. They said to naviagate to "update your information here" link on the right hand side of the applicant portal (there is no link there). I am having trouble with finding where to update my OUAC code. Thanks.

Easiest science credits for BEDs

I'm looking to apply to the BEDs program for architecture and noticed that the science requirements are far more particular than for a BA (which I'm currently completing):

two courses, at 1000-level or higher, in a mathematics or science subject: biology, chemistry, computer science (but not software instruction), engineering, geology, mathematics, physics, or statistics (but not economics, environment, geography, astronomy, management, planning, or psychology; and not history of mathematics)

Does anyone know of any courses that meet these requirements? I'm not sure I meet the pre-requisites for a lot of science courses, but I was just talking to someone who was in the same situation and took a couple courses that I don't think are taught anymore.

Considering Dal for MBA, need opinions.

Hi, I'm a recent undergrad (bba) considering dalhousies corporate residency MBA.

I graduated in June 2024, and I'm thinking of applying for this years summer start.

I've heard mixed opinions on this. Will the MBA be exactly the same as a bba content wise?

The co-op portion is appealing as I was unable to secure an internship during my undergrad. Considering the job market these days, I feel disadvantaged not having corporate experience yet.

I'm Canadian from BC, if that matters.

Lockdown browser safe?

I have to download a lockdown browser for an exam next week. I have heard some people say that they can ruin your computer and to use a different one for your exam if you can. I only have my MacBook which cost me a lot of money and I am really scared of it getting damaged. Anyone have experience with lockdown and mac?
