specifically for concurrent education (ji), can i declare a minor? and if so, what would be best, and would it be beneficial?

Wanted to compare the campus life of York versus Brock, is this month a good time to drop by and just walk around? Not looking for a campus tour, I want to see it myself without someone guiding me. Thanks!

I have emailed almost 20 professors asking for an opportunity to be in their lab next year for the HLSC 4F90 course but all I get is « sorry, we have a full cohort of students at the moment ». I have straight As, I have received multiple scholarships for my participation and academic achievements, but these labs just seem to never accept anybody new.

I really want to get some experience before doing my masters.

Anyone else in the same boat?

How does the Deans list work? Do we get an email and if so when? Also what’s the average needed and it’s it program specific ones? Are there additional academic awards?

Hey everyone,

I’m going to Brock University this fall and I’m trying to figure out housing. I was wondering if is it common or okay for first-year students to live off-campus instead of in residence?

If you did live off-campus in first year, how was your experience (social life, commute, making friends, etc.)? Would you recommend it, or is residence a better option for first year?

Also, any tips on good areas to live near Brock would be really helpful!

Thanks :)

I know that some other universities, such as UofT, TMU and York, have released their "key dates," such as when classes start and end, when the exam session is, and so forth. Does anyone know when Brock will release theirs?

Some developments may be coming at Brock regarding cleaning services. Around 20 full-time positions are about to disappear, as management does not want to post the vacancies, using the university’s financial issues as an excuse—even though they received $25 million from the government, and according to the Sunshine List for the 2024–2025 period, salary increases amounted to more than $9 million.

It is very disheartening to feel that corruption is running unchecked and that management’s greed has no limits—they are going after everything.

Yesterday, we were introduced to new work routines where they claimed the workload would be reduced, using the excuse of lowering the cleaning frequency in certain areas (as they communicated to the Brock community via email). However, what they are not saying is that they have redistributed the vacant areas, which ultimately only creates more work for the approximately 76 cleaning staff at the university.

If at this moment—when the university is relatively empty—the work routines cannot be fulfilled, I don’t even want to imagine how things will be when students return. And that’s assuming we even have all the necessary supplies to do our job, because I should remind you that last year there were at least four occasions when we had no paper towels or toilet paper. It was truly a miracle to keep things running on those days without it being obvious how poorly the operation was being managed.

This goes beyond CUPE—this truly affects the entire community in the long term, creating stress and a disastrous environment for both work and study. We’ll see what happens, but the future does not look promising.

Hello!
Are my grades not visible because I owe money for spring term classes? I am waiting on OSAP, however I owe a bit of fees (like 100$) from last term.
Thanks!

Anyone know when we choose our 2nd year classes for fall semester?

I know it states we are limited to two guests for convocation, but is there a way to invite a few more? Or is it a strict policy this year?

If I have a 79.9% average across all of my classes, would they round this so I could make the deans list?

What programme/method is the best to preserve the original formatting of text when copy/pasting into a Brightspace forum?
I like to write my responses in Word or Google Docs first but usually the font /formatting get messed up.

hi! I just got accepted into the med plus program, and I was just wondering if anyone in the program/knows about it could give me some info. my main goal is medicine but more specifically sports medicine, and I am curious about if I can get opportunities at the sports medicine clinic on campus through this program. if anyone has any details they could supply me it would be greatly appreciated!
