Hello,

I don’t usually post to public forums due to past issues but I am desperate for answers right now.

Apologies for any grammatical errors but I am severely stressed right now.

Due to some issues with my health during my most recently completed semester I have a GPA that puts me under the one required for the program. (2.9, I am not proud of it by due to circumstance it is what I have)

Everyone I have spoken to thus far has been pressing me to discuss things with my student advisor which I have tried to do on four separate occasions, once by email(4 weeks now with no response), once by going into the office(wasn’t on campus and told rarely is), and booked a meeting with them twice now and both of those meetings have been cancelled without giving me a reason as to why and told to wait for them to email me on when to reschedule it for.

The stress of not knowing what will happen now with my studies is really hurting my mental and I am at my wits end with people just telling me to talk to my advisor because that has resulted in more issues then answers.

Am I stuck just waiting for my advisor to contact me at some point in the future and dealing with the stress? Or is there something else that I can do to try and ensure I can continue my studies.

Thank you for any help that can be provided in what i should do going forward!

Hi Everyone
I am starting practical nursing In September.
Is there any preparation or requirements I should know of before starting?? When will the college send me what is required to do or have before my start date. Any vaccines I need to take or CPR?? I didn’t receive anything requirements from them yet.

Thank you
Nadeen

Is anyone still waiting for confirmation of enrolment?

So, this is a question about what’s allowed in south village residency

It says no single serve alcohol, and no glass bottles, but doesn’t that mean basically no alcohol period?? Because 99.9% of alcohol comes in either a glass bottle, or is considered ‘single serve’

So, if that’s the case, why not just say ‘no alcohol’?

(Please let me know if this has already been asked, or if it needs to be taken down!)

I enrolled last week for distant learning and we are supposed to start this Thursday but all I have received is my invoice. Literally nothing else… has anyone had this experience?

when will we find out about when and where our placements will be for this coming semester?

Hi!!! I'm going to Durham starting in September, and I'm living on campus! My program is General Arts and Science (hello, I'm so excited)!! HOWEVER!!! I'm not able to make it to an open house or anything like that, but I was just wondering if ANYONE knew what the dorm rooms looked like and roughly how big it was? I'm just nervous that I'm going to bring way too much with me. Thank you!

Anyone received there confirmation of enrolment or still waiting?! I start Monday and still waiting 😭

I’m starting practical nursing for may, but I have a lot of piercings.. Mostly on my ears and I have my nose pierced. I’m kind of stressing because I’m not sure how strict they are about this. Are piercings not allowed at all? Do they make you take them out completely?

I need help!

So I’m going into Durham college for practical nursing and im a anxious and scared, im doubting myself if i can do it, lets just say i dont trust myself fully and i dont think im capable of doing it, any advice 🥲

Exactly what the title says lol! I’ve got orientation for practical nursing tmrw but I’m reallyyyyy busy and just want to know if it’s worth it to go and spend the four hours there. Thanks for any answer!
