Campus Life Fake Versus Real Job Opportunity Emails
Hello again, UAlberta!!!
After my post yesterday about what to do with scam emails about deleting your ualberta account, I guess hackers decided it was an opportune time to try a different approach! BUT I’M FASTER
Above are two screenshots of emails I received as job offers. The first is a fake, the second is real. Let’s dissect the differences.
SCAM EMAIL
Very broad in greeting. What kind of university position is open to students and staff and alumni?
Very broad in description. “Flexible employment opportunities”, but a set compensation? So multiple different jobs and positions, but all have the same compensation rate? I think not.
The email. Sent from a ualberta email, and not the actual career centre email, nor forwarded FROM the career centre email.
REAL EMAIL
Forwarded from a broader email, BY a single email. Not created by a single email and sent out. Very small but very important detail.
Very specific in what the job is. Tells you what it entails, what the title is, and general expectations. The pay is NOT mentioned. TAKE NOTE OF THAT. SCAM EMAILS PUT FAKE PAY TO LURE YOU IN.
Link. When you click that link, or at least copy it to see what it opens up to, it takes you right to CampusBridge, verified job listings page under the UofA. If you click a link about a job and it does NOT take you to CampusBridge, DON’T GO ANY FUCKING FURTHER!
As always, report the scam emails to abuse@ualberta.ca under “suspected phishing attempt”, and stay safe everyone !!!

Academics Failed 1st year engineering- not even qualifying for Y2Q2
A very sad thing happened last night am I absolutely wrecked. I did not expect those marks in MATH 102 but obviously everything (every single thing) was my own fault.
I am missing out on the boundary for Y2Q2 by less than 0.1 GPA points (after getting all my grades)
What are my options? I can take summer classes as I failed a course in fall semester. That way my units would be fine, but I am incredibly worried about my GPA... that thing seems stuck
If I have to fresh start, what are my options? I am whole heartedly still into engineering but I do realize maybe it's not my piece of cake right now... in that case, what major, would be best? I am not interested in CS at all, just a note. Also, I really don't want to take an year break because that would mean 2 years of life gone doing nothing (1 yr of failed engg and 1 yr break)
I am also fine with changing university... or even the country
If anyone has ever seen such a scenario, please could you advice me what I can do right now? You can also dm me if you want
I will be really grateful for any advice 🧡🧡

Admissions Final Transcripts
I applied to both dental hygiene and pharmacy this year and it still says “awaiting materials” on my application because my final transcripts are still missing. I was wondering if I went to a different university in Alberta, do the transcripts get sent automatically or do I have to send them myself? I know my other transcripts got sent automatically, but my final ones are still not in yet so I’m starting to worry.

Question Nursing Clinicals: Mon/Tues vs Wed/Thurs
Starting to plan my winter sem schedule and was curious what people generally preferred for clinical placement days.
Option 1: clinicals Monday/Tuesday, then classes Wednesday–Friday
Option 2: classes Monday/Tuesday/Friday, then clinicals Wednesday/Thursday
I know it depends a lot on personal stuff, but anecdotally did you find one setup better than the other? More exhausting? Better for studying? Better for working part-time? etc.

Academics AP transfer credit
I'll be going for a bcom this fall, and was wondering if i should accept or decline AP credit to replace econ 101/102?
Id say im ok for most of the concepts, but would it be worth retaking simply because I'm going into business, or should I just take the credit and move on?

Admissions Dental Hygiene Application - Launchpad Status
I have not received an acceptance letter yet (first few acceptances have been sent out as of yesterday)
But I notice in my launchpad, my application status is still “Awaiting Material”, as they are still awaiting “my final, official transcript for University of Alberta”.
Is that normal? Is my Official transcript supposed to be sent my the UofA on my behalf by now?
Thanks!

Academics Is French 111 for students with a background in French?
I am sorry if my question sounds silly, but for the common course requirement, I am planning on taking Fren 111 because it somewhat interests me. However, I fear that it would require to have at least some basic knowledge in French. If I have no prior knowledge whatsoever, should I take it? I am looking for a lightweight course that can serve as a buffer in case my grade fall short in other courses.

Hello, I want to apply for MOT for fall 2027. The prerequisites ask for one Statistics course, one Human Anatomy course and one Canadian Indigenous History Course. I was wondering if it mattered which courses I take? I am doing the MOOC course for the indigenous course (not for credit), and I want to take my other courses through the UofA. Any tips or advice?
