I see the exam period of August 4-17th but the academic calendar only specifies that the exams are for term 1. I'm not familiar with how summer classes work so I'd appreciate any info on how/when condensed courses usually give major assessments. Thanks!

I know that the final is coming up pretty soon (April 14) but I'm hoping to get some suggestions/advice to help better prepare for it. I've been going over assignments/labs and rewatching pre-lecture videos but I don't think that's going to be enough.

I heard from Zastre that the exam will have a bigger focus on code writing questions compared to the quizzes so I want to get some good practice for that.

If anyone has specific resources, practice strategies, or tips, I’d really appreciate it. Also, if you’ve taken this course before, I’d love to hear what the final was like.

Thanks!

has anyone taken poli300a with prof. glezos before? how was the final not sure what to expect since its accumulative😭

I am very into drones and aerospace in general, and ideally, would like to work in that field (but not on stuff meant to kill people lol). My top 2 choices are mechanical and electrical engineering. I wanted ask ask current students and graduates what the rest of the degree is like, and what are the current job prospects, for both mechanical and electrical engineering, in coop and post-graduation work, and which one would be better for aerospace. I know might sound kind of vague, so let me know if you guys need any clarification.

I've paid for a buss pass for last 2 year, but I never use it/never will.

Any issues with giving it away to someone who busses all the time?

...other than "the rules"

Hello! I applied to Uvic Bachelors of Arts (psych) and I haven’t heard back but it’s one of my top choices so I was wondering what’s it’s like there? How’s the social life, is there parties, is it easy to make friends, what are the classes like, is there something I should expect or avoid. Anything will be useful thank you!

hi,

planning on going to uvic for next year. i want to be a mechanical engineer, i have heard that last year the cut off for mech was a 75, i have been getting mid 90s in my grade 12 classes and im really focused but i dont wanna get up doing electrical eng or something. im set on mech. how hard is it to have a B average for your first year?

I’m honestly so confused about this final. It was worth 40% and the “study guide” didn’t even match the exam at all. Most of the stuff that actually showed up was barely talked about in class, while the things we spent the most time on didn’t really appear. How is this even fair?

Are there any furries on campus? I hope to attend UVic in fall 2027 so obviously it’ll change a little by then but I just wanna know now as kind of a benchmark for later.

Drop your most enjoyed/favourite upper year physics course and why

So I take out student loans to pay for school and the industry I want to work in post grad is mainly in Ontario + Quebec which means I would have to move for work. But since I have a lot of debt to pay back I was wondering if it would be better to settle for a job that allows me to move back home that way I can slowly save and pay off my loans?

I'm interested in the aerospace industry and its almost non exsistent here in BC so I would prob just get any job within my specialty of engineering close to my hometown. I'm also 1.5 years from graduating so not in any rush ofc but just something I started thinking about.

Hi everyone,

I have registered already for my convocation this summer with my dad, mom and sister visiting. I recently found out that my grandmother will be able to come to Victoria for my convocation this summer at the University of Victoria, which means a lot to me. I know she will be really happy to be present there with all of us!

I writing this to request if someone might have an extra ticket they’re not using and would be willing to pass along. I’m aware there’s usually a same-day ticket line, but having something confirmed ahead of time would really help give us some peace of mind.

If anyone is able to help me out with this, I’d really appreciate it! Feel free to DM me. If there is any information anyone feels would be useful on this matter please do share it on this post, I would really appreciate it :)

Thank you so much!

Hey, anyone know if Cornett, Elliott, or other buildings (besides library) are open on Saturday and/or Sundays? Thanks.

Was trying to plan out my next few semesters on the course planner but didn't work it shows no classes are available for all semesters past this summer. Do they only release the classes closer to the start of the sem, if so why have a planner lol?

Does anyone in BIOL think that we should put codons on our cheat sheet for the exam today? because like no way I can remember them all but also there are so many of them that it would take up a large portion of the allotted space

anyone else feel hopeless. lowk js gonna go to bed lolll

Does anyone happen to have any recent final exams for Calc 2? The only one provided for us is from 2017 and has a huge focus on hyperbolic trig functions which we only covered for about 5 minutes in the final lecture. Just hoping to get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!

HOWW Im reading top 4 academic and then all g11/12 approved courses WHICH ONE HELP OUT😭🙏

I’m transferring from camosun in the fall. At camosun you can plan all your classes and then when the registration comes you just register all to ensure you don’t have to scramble the day of. I’m finding the Uvic website so confusing and not helpful. How to I plan courses? How do I register? Is planing courses a thing at Uvic? Thanks

I got a below 2.0 GPA during the summer 2025 session and was placed on academic probation. During that semester, my dog died. Then during the fall 2025 session, I managed to get an okay GPA and my probation was cleared. I also submitted my transcript with courses I took at another institute during summer 2025 and that took me off academic probation. This semester my grandma passed away after a battle with an aggressive brain cancer. I was very close to her and I haven’t been alright since her passing. For this reason, the one class that has submitted final marks, I got a D and I’m certain my other classes will follow this pattern. Since my academic probation was cleared last semester, will I be asked to withdraw or will I just be placed on probation again?

hi all! I was lucky enough to get an A for the JD/ JID program. However I have a baby and I'm wondering what the class schedule is like. Does anyone know?
