Hi, I'm an international student. I recently got 2 jobs who have different ways of counting a work week; think Sat to Fri and Tues to Mon. Since I can't work more than 24 hours in a week, how do I count a week?

Also, next week finals are gonna start, are we allowed to work more than 24 hours in that period? Thank you.

If a student ever fails a term in, let’s say, computer engineering term 3, will they ever be able to wait a year and switch over to a different stream such as ocean and naval, or mechanical engineering? What r the limitations on how freely someone can switch? Thanks!

I'm taking econ 1010 right now, and I've been studying like crazy.. going over textbook before class, notes after class, doing the mypearson lab practice Q's, practice worksheets in class, additional practice tests for each chapter, and watching YouTube videos on each topic. I've also recently started tutoring sessions with a tutor... But I'm still not doing well, so at this point I'm lost, what can I do to improve my mark?

Hi! I was wondering if you can apply to MUN’s faculty of education with a degree from Athabasca? I’ve emailed people in the Education department multiple times and no one is getting back to me:( The complete online degree is very appealing lol

I have submitted my Graduate application for MEng. Application required 2 reference letters for which I had provided contact information of two referees with my application.

My 1st referee has submitted the reference letter and I have received a confirmation email from MUN. My application also shows that the reference letter against the referee 1 is submitted.

Due to some unfortunate situation, my 2nd referee is unavailable and might not able to submit the reference letter before the application deadline (Dec 1st). Therefore, I wanted to use an alternate 2nd referee. But i could not modify the contact information of my 2nd referee as the application has already been submitted.

I emailed at <gradapply, sgs> and explained the situation. They shared an online link of an appraisal form and advised me to share that link with my alternate referee 2. (Because apparently, they cannot modify the contact information of the referee from my application either). I followed the advice and shared the link with my alternate referee number 2. My referee has confirmed to me that he has filled the online appraisal form and submitted it. But I have not received the confirmation from MUN about the submission of my 2nd reference letter. The submission status of “Grad Reference 2” is also “not received” at the moment.

Is there any way to confirm that the 2nd reference letter from my alternate referee has been received at MUN and that it will be considered with my application?

I apologise the complications this has caused but I would be grateful for any help on the matter.

Edit: I GOT THE CONFIRMATION FOR THE 2nd Grad Reference from MUN!!!! This is resolved.

Does anyone know how to prepare for the MPT? I don’t know where to find practice materials, and I noticed that someone mentioned the actual test is much harder than the sample questions .😭

Trying to plan a spring vacation and wondering when, generally, the exam schedule is released. Also, are the exams from each faculty generally around the same time within the exam period?

Just curious if anyone at MUN actually responds to emails or nah?

I’m an international prospective graduate student and I have applied for MSc (Thesis) in Computer Engineering. The website states that MSc (thesis) and PhD student “MAY” get annual stipend of $18000. There is no special application for such scholarship/stipend with my masters application. My question is how likely a masters (thesis) can avail stipend/scholarship? And what is the procedure to apply for such stipend/scholarship, if any?

Grateful for any helpful input.

I have noticed a lot of organization problems with one course I am taking which is math1000. I need extra study help so trying to use the material in the math help center is just making it worse. Wrong answers to questions, questions written down wrong from a worksheet therefore answered wrong. I can't hear the videos with my ipad on as loud as it goes. No sense when trying to find a particular question as everything is labelled incorrectly or ridiculously. Sloppy writing for most of the answers, some I am barely able to read. Has anybody else noticed this? Should I be emailing somebody about this?

Hello everyone,

I've been offered a PhD position at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) with an annual stipend of $18,500. The tuition fees are approximately $1,500 per semester, totaling around $5,000 annually when including additional fees. I'm seeking advice on the following aspects to ensure a comfortable living for my family in St. John's:

1. Housing Near St. John's Campus: Could anyone recommend affordable housing options close to the campus? What is the typical rent for a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment in the area?
2. Employment Opportunities for My Wife: My wife holds an Open Work Permit (OWP) and has one year of Canadian work experience at retail and child care. What are the job prospects in St. John's for someone with her background? Are there specific industries or companies known for hiring individuals with similar experience?
3. Child Care for Our Newborn: We have a newborn child. What are the available child care options in St. John's, and what are the associated costs? Are there any government subsidies or programs that we might be eligible for to assist with child care expenses?
4. Overall Living Expenses: Considering our situation, what would be the estimated monthly expenses for a family of three in St. John's? This includes housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, and other necessities. Is the PhD stipend sufficient to cover these costs, or should we anticipate the need for additional income?

Any insights, experiences, or resources you could share would be immensely helpful as we plan our move. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hey Everyone!

So, I am down to the last six classes of my degree. I have to come back in Fall 2025 for strategic management, as the classes I will be taking in Winter 2025 are prerequisites. I have not registered yet for classes because I still need to pay my school fees. I was checking the course offering and saw that International Business only has one section, and it is filled up.

I don't know what to do because I need that class because It is a prerequisite for strategic management. I was wondering if there are any chances MUN would create another section for that class, especially because there are people on the waiting list.

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has ever taken a course with Julie Dwyer and your opinion on her. I can't find anything online about her at all and her ratemyprofessor page has no reviews on it. Any feedback at all would be helpful. Thanks!

Does the university have a program for financing/partially subsidizing laptop purchase? A friend of mine already have one but needs to update his to continue with his research project (hardware-demanding software) but he is struggling with money right now and don't knows what to do

Hey everyone! I'm a highschool senior from pakistan and I want to get into memorial university of newfoundland in engineering or business/econ program. I got 93 percent in 9th and 10th while 89 in 11th. I will also be giving SAT. What score should I aim? I also have decent extracurriculars. Can I get into any undergraduate programs?? Also, can the co op full time jobs and also part time jobs cover living expenses and some or half of tuition? Also how are the job upportunities after graduating ? Is it worth it to spend so much money on the degree? I'll be really grateful if someone can take the time to answer these questions because I'm lost in life.

“I hold an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and have obtained a master’s degree related to marine studies outside of Canada, with a research focus on polar marine chemistry. Could you provide some advice for applying to the Marine Institute’s master’s program at Memorial University? From what I understand, the main marine-related subjects at the Marine Institute focus on marine biology, while polar studies are conducted at the Labrador campus and tend to lean towards the humanities.”
