Street lights out on campus drive!

Be careful when crossing the street! The lights are out. Almost got obliterated into pieces when crossing the street. Be careful folks, unless you’d want a reason to skip finals, lol.

Whoops. College drive. My bad gang.

stm study room display controls

this is niche and idk if this is only in stm study rooms but does anyone know how to control the volume of the tv when your device is connected? Volume knob doesn’t work and adjusting volume on my device does nothing.

I just want some sweet lofi playing while i study but it can be a bit distracting when it’s blasting

Found airpods 4 near Residence

Hi guys, this morning I found an airpod 4 case with both earpieces inside, at the bus stop . It has someone's name in it, so please if you have lost your airpods 4 or know of someone who has just lost it, I will leave it at Place Riel's. I had my headphones stolen months back, and I know how it sucks to lose valuable items. I hope you get it back!

Lost wallet @ education building/Quance

If anyone has found a wallet in quance theatre or outside of the education building lmk please!
It's pretty unique looking; it's got an iron man comic book pattern, not only does it have all my stuff, but it's got some silly sentimental value.

Advice for essay?

Hi guys! I’m really sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I needed some advice. For my english class, we were assigned to write an essay on a novel. I ended up checking my writing through an online plagiarism checker and it came up as plagiarised but only the lines that were a direct quotation from the novel. Should I be worried? I have cited the book, of course but I was wondering if I should email my prof and let him know beforehand.

How long it takes for the usask administration to make a decision for a grad school student?

Hello everyone,

I am an international student who has applied for the Fall 2025 term in the Clinical Psychology combined Master's/Ph.D. program. I would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on how long it typically takes to receive an offer letter, so I can know whether I’ve been accepted or rejected.

Also, if anyone has applied for the same program or is currently enrolled in it, please feel free to reach out—I have so many questions and would love to connect.

Thank you so much!

Careful buying stuff from circle k

Bought this egg sandwich Friday, was a couple bites In before I noticed it tasted a bit off (I was ravenous), realized the best before was 17 days ago, couldn’t get refund, took a picture just incase I got sick and I did 🤠 it was still partly my fault for not checking before but remember to check dates before eating stuff!

Don’t honk at the pedestrians

I saw a lady crossing the intersection on College Drive in front of Leslie Library, and a car that wanted to turn right started honking at her. She began running to cross the intersection faster, but the car kept honking, pressuring her to run even quicker.

Don’t be a jerk don’t honk at pedestrians, especially in the snow. No one wants to fall, and you’re sitting in a warm car while they’re walking in -30°C weather. Show some respect and have a little patience.

Free UberEats Coupons

Has anyone tried using the ubereats coupons that got handed out during the first two weeks of classes? Every time I try it says the promo code can’t be applied and I was wondering if anyone else has had better luck.

And no, I have not used the coupon before, no, it is not expired, yes I’m ordering something that it says it should be useable for.

CPPS 306 or 307, which would you recommend?

I know at this point nothing is "easier," but accounting for the different professors and mark break-downs, which would you recommend?

student loans from conexus, yay or nay?

I have just moved back to the province from the patch in northern alberta, and i was hoping to go to school close to home with government funding but i might not qualify as a resident as outlined in the student handbook for this year, so im looking into alternative options for financial aid (I have reached out to the student service center currently waiting for a response). Im with my local credit union and I couldnt find anything of great detail concerning exact interest rates or loan amounts (but they did mention a revolving line of credit that seems pretty spicy). If anyone would be willing to share their experience of getting financial assistance from credit unions or banks within Saskatchewan either through comments or dm would be greatly appreciated thanks

I got accepted!! Could you guys help answer some questions?

I just got accepted conditionally into usask Engineering! I am extremely happy for this opportunity.

1- How would you describe student life? Are people generally willing to be friends, or do they prefer to be left alone? Do people from different years talk often, or do they usually stick to their year? How would you describe the sports scene, competitive or casual? Do people generally go into university already having friends from high-school, or is everyone new to each other?

2- In terms of residence options, I have been thinking about choosing Voyageur residence since it offers a meal plan, and from what I've read it's the most socially active. As with everything in life, there are pros and cons. What would you describe as being the biggest cons to it? Noisiness, etc.

3- Is it easy to secure a job for some extra cash? Preferably, are there job options on campus? I will be financially independent and relying on student loans (Max 17k per year + 4k grant).

4- What are your opinions on the new RE ENGINEERED program?

5- I'm a big nature fan. What is there in terms of nature, parks, etc. Do students like to get-together and go for a hike, picnic, camping, etc.?

Course Catalog Changes

Does anyone know how to submit a student request about course catalog changes? When I first enrolled there was a class I didn’t need to take but then it changed but I was told I could contact someone about changing it back to what it originally was but I don’t know how. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Is this +7 (233) 89 USASK Alert text legit?

I just received a text from the above number that said Usask alert missing person, and included a link to click. I am in my first year of university so I’m not sure if this is legit. I receive a ton of scam calls/texts and some of them have been very specific and convincing. I know that the university will send out emergency alerts via text but since I’ve never received one I want to make sure it is legit before I open and click the link.

Am I cooked??

Hi guys so Im in quite an interesting position... I got accepted yesterday for engineering which is great! But my physics grade is cooking me (I live in Alberta btw) as in it wont be above 70% I can try and not let it drop bellow 60% which I think I can do (Im at a 63%) rn..... but the rest of my grades are 80 plus. So the question is since I cant get it above 70% like Im supposed to... am I cooked??? Will I maintain my offer???

-For reference my grade 11 physics grade I got accepted with was 68% not above 70% yet they made an exception and accepted me because the rest of my grades were high.

What are ideal classes to take for Kinesiology in Year 1 and onwards?

I’ve taken kin 121 and 122 in term 1. A lot of people don’t recommend taking Kin 150, so what did other Kin majors do for term 2 and the rest of the years? If someone could provide me with a guide of classes and when to take them (to have a good average), I’d appreciate the help!

Flushing toilets

I really don’t care who you are, what customs you were raised with, Canadian citizen or international student, etc. If you can’t figure out to FLUSH THE TOILET and make sure it flushed after using it, you are not qualified to be in post secondary education. This honestly should be an admission requirement.
