Wanted: Caring and Relaxed Person for Caregiving (Academic Attendant) Role

Would you like to get paid to go to UVic classes and hang out on campus with my friend? 

She is a fourth year psychology student finishing up her degree and planning to apply to law school. She needs an attendant when she is on campus and in class to help with physical tasks. Due to her permanent physical disability, she has mobility impairments as well as limited use of her hands. Her attendant must be someone who can take excellent notes in class and help her with other physical tasks like setting up her computer, helping her with her coat, adjusting her glasses, getting things out of her bag, personal care, etc. Basically you need to be her hands! She is also autistic with ADHD and sometimes needs support with focus or sensory overwhelm.

The pay is $35/hr for 18 to 40 hours/week plus a notetaking honourarium of $250 per course per term, starting either in July 2026, or in September 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year. This arrangement could continue into the future if there is a good connection. 

The successful applicant is:

-female

-calm with a good work ethic

-understanding of neurodivergence and physical disabilities

-able to form a positive and supportive connection

-eager to participate in academic life; some experience is helpful (especially for the notetaking)

-a good communicator

-able to provide guidance and direction while also staying in your lane as a helper

-willing to provide invoicing and other documentation to the Centre for Accessible Learning as this position is contracted self-employment and paid for by Student Aid

I have been doing this job for the past three years but I need to quit so I can focus on my own schooling. I’m sad to quit because this has been literally the best job I have ever had, and like I alluded to, my boss/client and I have become good friends. I will be screening applicants and passing the ones who sound good to my friend so if you are interested please get in touch with me ASAP! DM me please.

I thought I did quite well on my BIOL 186 final, but the results shocked me. When you can’t review the answers, how are you supposed to know what you did wrong?

I got into both UBC math and UVic math/data science — anyone have thoughts on the actual experience of either program?

I feel like UVic has this unique thing where the campus and the city just blend together in a way that most schools can't match. What's something about being a student in Victoria specifically - the nature, the pace, the weather compared to the rest of Canada, the community - that you wouldn't trade for any other university experience? What makes the island life worth it?

I got accepted to UBC and I am debating because I heard UVIC actually sends quite a bit of people to med school each year. Please let me know if anyone is in the premed route or is in med school who has graduated from UVIC

Hi all! I’m starting to study for my LSAT and thought I’d ask if anyone had any prep books lying around from their previous attempts at the test. I am able to pay, too!

Hello everyone! I am starting the BCom program at UVic this fall. I was wondering if any current students could recommend courses that are easy or generally considered GPA boosters. Thanks!

Hey yall, me and my friend are both first year international students, and we are obliged to stay in Victoria and work over the summer. We both already have jobs for the summer too. Here’s the catch: residence move out day is on April 23rd but our landlord told us that we can’t move in until may 1st because of maintenance 😭 So we are basically fucking stranded and unhoused for 7 days straight. Residence wants us to pay 250$ to stay until may 1st which is not an amount of money that me and my friend can spend easily.

What are we supposed to do??? All sublets and rentals on Facebook are monthly and nobody charges per night, and hotels are like a thousand times more expensive to stay in.

I am so scared and stressed and have no fucking idea what to do. Is there anyone who’s still looking to sublet their room that won’t be occupied from April 24th till May 1st? :( we can pay you any price cheaper than 250 per person.

Hello, I got accepted into both SFU Beedie and UVIC Gustavson School. I need help deciding which one is better. I am trying to pursue accounting in the future, and I know that SFU has all the prerequisites for the CPA. On the other hand, I do reside in Victoria and was offered a scholarship from UVIC. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could share your experiences with both schools and talk about which program is better. Thanks!

Just got done with phys 110, taking 111 during summer. I was wondering how it differs from taking it normally during fall or spring, also would appreciate any helpful tips on the course like how it compares to 110. Didnt really do great on the 110 final so Im hoping I can salvage my GPA with this course. The trickiest parts about 110 for me were definitely the Work related stuff and applying the different types of formulas for each case, and I found the magnetism and circuits pretty easy. Does 111 go deeper into topics like Work Energy stuff cuz I might be in trouble. Any advice helps.

I can’t pay the deposit when I go to account summary by terms it’s empty

Found $40 cash on the ground on campus. If you can tell me where you lost it I'll return it.

I'm on campus until an evening exam Sat 18th.

I am recovering from covid but I need to take my 2 finals soon, physics 110 and csc. I don't know if going is a good idea or not. Anyone know the process for a delayed exam or an exam you can't take.
