Graduation requirements

Upvotes

So this is my situation:

  • Graduating this semester in a 90 credit program
  • also enrolled in a 30 credit minor
  • my 90 credits are done (jmsb) but midsing 1 class from my minor (non-jmsb)

Does anyone know if it'll affect my graduation if I'm missing 1 class from my minor or I can complete it at a later date ? Or should I just drop the minor💀💀 (and can I do it myself or I need to talk to an advisor?)

Thankss🙏🙏

Trying to get into Computer science or Data science with a D+ in math 203

Upvotes

Is it possible for an internal transfer? They said I need a B in Math in 2 of the following 3 courses (Math 203, 204 or 205). I already took math 203 three times and got a D+ on my latest attempt. Concordia also just informed me that I'm not allowed to repeat the course again. I could take some more math classes in the future and bring my overall Math score to a B, but can I get admitted to CS or DS with a D+ in Math 203?

Future Student Help with Registration

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Is there someone that could perhaps help me? Someone who's been in the same boat as me. Right now, I'm finishing my last semester in College, and I'll be starting at Concordia this fall in the Certificate of Foundations of Business because I need 2 math and 1 econ classes to be able to transfer to a BComm later. I need to register for 4 classes to be considered full-time, and I have no idea what else to register for other than the prerequisites. I can't register for those classes only; I need to add more to be considered full time. My advisor is really pushing for me to only do my prerequisites, but I can't do that; I need to be full time. The issue is, the classes I'm suggested to register for sound really similar to the classes I've already done in college. My advisor has been useless, so i'd really appreciate some help. Thank you! 🙏

Future Student Switching from one Co-Op Program to Another

3 Upvotes

(Not sure which flair to use but anywho)

Hi all, currently a CEGEP student heading to Software Engineering, I was able to get in their CO-OP program but it wasn't my main choice. Such I want to switch to COEN after the 1st year, hopefully to their CO-OP program instead.

I have 3 questions really.

  1. Which semester can I do a switch so I can start it on the Fall Semester.

  2. Will my time in Concordia be longer considering I'll probs be missing a work term as both start at the fall of 2nd year and needing to catch up with some COEN core classes.

  3. If the switch got accepted during winter or somewhere earlier, do I need to do the Summer Semester for Software Engineering?

Note: I built my schedules so that its classes that I can transfer credits over if I do get accepted to COEN to not lose time.

Course registration hasn't started and classes are already full I'm not really sure what to do

1 Upvotes

Im pretty new to this so correct me if I'm wrong.I am newly admitted fall 2025 students in the fine Arts major and received my loa in late March.As of a few hours ago,I've sent my confirmation deposit fee so Im now able to add courses to my cart.I check my courses (using the course schedule builder) and saw that many of the classes I need are all full already with no wait list options. I know they advised us to prepare as early as possible but thought they meant they would start getting full after April 8th. So I just want to know if its the site's problem or I'm the one in the wrong and should have started registering as early as March. Any tips on how I can guarantee my courses again? (Ps:I have already messaged the recruitment officers and planning to contact the department head today,I have not heard anything as of yet but hopefully wanted to know if other people have experienced this)

TL;DR:Just paid confirmation fee recently,many courses already full (with no wait list options) despite course registration only being a few days away, contacted staff but have received nothing as of yet, wondering if anyone has experienced this and tips on how to fix this problem or make sure it doesn't happen again

Future Student Concordia or Bishop

3 Upvotes

Hi! I recently got accepted in a masters program (education related) in both universities. I visited both and they both amazing. Reading also both communities I found out Bishop’s seems more like a “partying” uni (which I’m not) and also here a lot of ppl being not too satisfied with the university. I’ve been living in Quebec for a couple of months now (originally from Mexico) and what I can say I love about Montreal is the Mexican food and diversity. But my question overall. If you could choose, which one seems like a better university to get in?

Idk what to do

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone, it’s my first semester in uni and it’s been rly hard. I’m currently doing Econ 201 and Econ 203 in hopes to transfer to JMSB but my efforts haven’t been matching my results and it’s rly been getting to me. Finals are in abt 2 weeks or so and I am not passing both classes unfortunately and was wondering if I should drop both or keep one and risk it? ( I was thinking abt keeping Econ 201). Cause if we’re being honest I do hate dropping but ig it’s to protect my GPA. Thanks for the advice yall :)

Edit: Thanks to all who have replied, I rly do appreciate it. To those who think I’m not being completely honest or using AI and then coming to complain bc it was easy for you, I’m glad that it was easy for you and unfortunately it’s not the same for me. I take my studies very seriously and I don’t see how one could complain about not passing if they were barely putting in any effort. As a first year all I wanted was advice from everyone and tips (which I got). After reading everyone’s comments I think that maybe I have been using the wrong study techniques and will search for better ones. Thank you for all ur answers and I’ll be taking them all into consideration whether they were kind or not. Thank you all

PwC vs. KPMG for Audit Internship

2 Upvotes

After a busy and sucessful recruitment season, it seems like I'll have to be picking between PwC and KPMG for my first audit internship. I've gone to their firm tours and networked a decent amount and I have my own take, however, I was curious to see what others' perspective would be.

Which one would you pick and why?

Future Student Academic Advisors

2 Upvotes

Is it normal to have an academic advisor only work twice a week? It’s so hard to get in touch with mine. I asked for a phone call to get information a lot quicker but he insisted to talk via emails. Not all my questions were answered and I’m suppose to register for my classes Monday.😭 Is it possible to change advisors? Do all of them only work twice a week? I’m stressing!

Future Student I got accepted into Specialization in Cell and Molecular Biology is it worth it ?

3 Upvotes

So I recently got my acceptance from Concordia for the Specialization in Cell and Molecular Biology, and I’m trying to decide if it’s the right choice. I’ve been browsing the sub, and most of what I see are people talking about how tough the courses are or complaining about the program in general. Right now, my main options are Concordia, UMontreal, or UOttawa. I’d really appreciate any opinions from anyone, and what’s the experience like !

  • Biryani Indian Resto Next to the Metro/Cocobun
    • 2 hot Large Samosas for ~4.50$ (IMO better than the le frigo vert ones, but probably just cause they're warm)
    • Debit/Cash only

Does this count as a reason for a deferral?

1 Upvotes

I have two wisdom teeth extraction surgery scheduled on the same day as my first exam. The exams are in person and all three are back to back. I can’t move the appointment either as it’s already been a year since I need to remove it and it’s causing too much pain. If I push it further I’d have to wait about 2 months for the next opening. Is this a valid reason to defer the exams? I read the rules online but i’m a bit confused.

Class-specific Certificate in Marine Transportation

1 Upvotes

An old friend of mine suggested I should take this class. He received this certificate/degree back in 2006-07. I'm 100% sure things have drastically changed after 2 decades. But I am still excited/curious for this course.

Now he's a freight manager(?). He also told me I should not stop at this after I get this degree, he did not specify what other school has a more advanced course than this, for now I am just focusing on this.

This class if affiliated with the Shipping Federation of Canada. Takes about a year and a half to complete.

5 courses and each course is about 3-4 months.

The courses are

  • Introduction to Shipping (CESF 109)
  • Shipping Operations and Port Agency (CESF 209)
  • Customs and Documentation (CESF 309)
  • Maritime Law and Marine Insurance (CESF 409)
  • Shipping Economics and Management (CESF 509)
