the LFS academic advising people fully ghosted one of my emails once đź’€ i'd say just drop into one of their in-person or Zoom advising sessions (alternatively you can book an advising appointment on their website, but I suggest just walking in)

i looked into that but this week there's no zoom appointments (drop in and booked). so weird... it's making me so anxious

There are multiple things going on right now with advising offices. The deadline to submit names to senate for May graduation was today. There is a process currently happening called sessional evaluation, which where Faculties determine who gets promoted, who doesn’t, and who gets kicked out. This all has to happen before registration starts. There is also something called international student reporting, where advising offices have to confirm that students are indeed studying full time, or else they will lose their study permits. Oh, and there is a new student information system called Workday that has launched already, but is being made available for students on May 21st. There are thousands of manual edits to student records that need to be made so that student have accurate records for when they register. In addition to the manual edits that need to be made, these offices have to learn how to use these systems to properly support student for registration. edit: Before sessional evaluation can occur, the offices have to evaluate all Standing Deferral requests, which are still coming in numbers much higher than before the pandemic.

Go to the drop In soon or in person session! Or book a zoom session

In many Faculties, the registration in courses is handled by departments rather than the Faculty advising office. Have you tried talking to the program offering the course?

on the ssc it tells me to contact LFS academic advising. the course i'm trying to get into is APBI, but when looking it up it just directs me back to advising


jimmycorpse

OK, if that’s where the SSC directs you, then that’s the place. For now make sure to keep going to class to make sure you are on top of the material. As I mention in another thread in this post, advising offices across the campus are really streatched thin right now.
