random question but does anyone else also feel super dumb most of the times even if they get decent grades. like i actually feel so embarrassed around profs sometimes because i just knowww theyre judging me so hard. i honestly feel so dumb today like what am i ever gonna do in life lol

My son graduated from UTSC in 2021, with his postponed graduation ceremony on Dec 16,2022,at 2pm due to the pandemic. I lost my phone, so I lost the precious footage of my son waving to me on stage that day😭. Does anyone/your family members/your friends have the full footage of that graduation ceremony (2022 Dec 16, 2pm)? It might include the footage of my son.

My family and I were seated on the left side of the stage.

There was no video archive for that day and time on Youtube or MyMedia and we have contacted the school, they don't have it. 

This was my son's only university graduation ceremony in his life, he waved to me and our family, it's precious and unforgettable.

I am willing to pay for the video copy if you have. We can do the download through the Google Cloud. I would appreciate any help you can offer.🙏

P.S # I will keep waiting here and repost monthly if reddit allowed, until for a good news hopefully📍This is the 6th repost since from 2025 Nov 06.

Prob the last one, this one should be kind of hard.

It’s summer, i don’t want to be here. I feel like i’ve gotten to the point in my degree where im thugging it out because it would be a waste to quit now. Fear of failure is the only thing keeping me going.

It’s so hard to stay motivated to study. and i mean REALLY study. like to sit and learn and take it in and apply it. not just passively listen.

what keeps you guys going and what inspires you to study with intentionality ?

TLDR: DONT BOOK ELS SCARBOROUGH UNLESS YOURE 100% SURE

So I booked the ELS signed the lease, and paid the first and last month deposits. About a week later, my situation changed and I tried to cancel. They told me I have to find a replacement tenant or pay the entire year’s rent. It’s still July. The lease doesn’t even start until September. I tried cancelling after one week and they’re acting like I owe them a full year.

Actually evil. This shit pissed me off. Posting so nobody else gets trapped.

Most people are so mean omg every time I come to uni I leave crying :(

So I am planning to take these two courses in the winter, which results in a time conflict in the lecture times, but i absolutely need both to be taken in that semester so i can finish the rest of the courses next year and graduate in time. For anyone who has taken these courses in the past 2 years, do both require attendance? Is the content challenging without attending the lectures?

As above, thanks!

Gonna get into economics soon and wanted to know how bad both courses are in terms of workload, not difficulty since I know its more subjective rather than objective.

- MATB41
- STAB52 (weekly quiz?)
- CSCB07
- CSCB36
- MATB24 (weekly quiz)
- MATB42
- STAB57
- CSCB09
- CSCB63

Additionally, for which ones can i attend other tutorials than my registered one?

I'm asking because I wanted to know which tutorials demand more like weekly quiz vs just practice questions etc... and which ones can i attend other tutorials etc...

I'm about to be a first year student and have enrolled in my courses. However I'm waitlisted for two of them which have labs, and since I'm unable to enroll in the labs while being waitlisted I want to know what happens if I get off a waitlist yet all the labs are all full or blocked? My whole schedule is a mess already and I'm worried whether I'll even get off this waitlist for a class I need.

I’m a second-year student waiting to be accepted into the Psychology major. I’m currently in the Food Studies minor but haven’t decided on my second minor yet.

When I registered for courses, ACORN said I needed a major and two minors, so I temporarily selected random programs to enroll in my classes.

Can I drop those temporary programs now without losing my enrolled courses, or do I need to keep them until I’m accepted into Psychology and choose my second minor?

Does anyone know why I'm not able to enroll in this course? I couldn't initially, so I decided to wait until July 22 for priority enrollment to end, but I still can't, and I have all the prerequisites.

Okay might be a dumb Q
So I’m enrolled in the life science program and my degree in acorn says BSc. Now if my majors are two arts so health policy and political science will my degree say bachelors of art of bachelors of science? I’m kinda confused

Hi everyone. I’m an incoming first-year student at UTSC, and I was recently accepted through an alternative offer into Co-op Arts: Social Sciences & Humanities. I originally planned to attend another university because I thought the workload there would be more manageable, but after receiving the U of T offer, my family strongly encouraged me to accept it because of the university’s reputation.

My main concern is that I did not develop strong study habits in high school. I relied too much on outside help and AI tools, focused mostly on getting acceptable grades, and did not properly learn how to study independently.

My spoken English and communication skills are fine, but my academic writing, essay planning, research, time management, and exam preparation skills are weak.
Since my program is in Social Sciences and Humanities, I expect that there will be a lot of reading and essay writing, which is exactly what worries me most. I know that I need to change my habits, and I am prepared to attend every class, study consistently, use office hours and the Writing Centre, and genuinely complete my own work.

My questions are:

1.How difficult is first-year Social Sciences and Humanities at UTSC?

2.How much reading and essay writing should I realistically expect?

3.Can someone with weak academic writing and study habits adapt during first year?

4.Would five courses per semester be too much for someone in my position?

5.Would taking four courses and completing the remaining credits during the summer be safer?

6.What should I do before September to improve my writing and study skills?

7.How useful are TAs, office hours, the Writing Centre, and academic advising?

8.How strict are professors about AI use, and is AI ever allowed for brainstorming, explanations, or grammar feedback?

9.Is it realistic to pass and eventually receive decent grades if I completely change my habits and work consistently?

10.Has anyone here entered UTSC feeling academically unprepared and still managed to succeed?

I understand that my previous habits were my responsibility, and I am not looking for excuses or an easy way through university. I would really appreciate honest advice from students who have experience with UTSC Social Sciences and Humanities.

Like why... whyyyyy am I begging for months to see my OWN exam? After 2.5 months of pure ghosting, I finally got an update for my exam copy request, which I paid the deposit for... did I get the copy... NO. It's been like 15 days, but no copy has been given to me, and the issue is I want to do a reread of my exam, and the final date to request a reread is 24th (AKA THIS WEEK) in 3 days, but I haven't received my exam yet to see and request for the reread. Like, why is this place making my life 10 times harder? I can't do this anymore, for the love of god; never have I begged soo much in my life.

I’m a first year life science student and I’m enrolled into both PSYA01H3 and PSYA02H3 online. Is it okay that I’m taking it online, or do you recommend I switch it to in-person?

Hey is there a Fall Instagram or Discord gc for any of these courses?
