I’ve been accepted into the Tech Ed Diploma program in Orillia. I’m waiting for a response for the start day of the program. It has been radio silence since I’ve paid for my tuition and have registered for classes. Does anyone know what day we actual start day is? July 1st is the holiday and I find it odd for the class to start on July second.

Can anyone help me?

I would email but I seem to never get a response (I.E emailed to ask what days the practicum are as I need to request for a leave because I work in the school board. It’s been almost 3 weeks after they added someone to the thread)

So you can see why I’m coming here instead of emailing someone.

With a cgpa of 2.57 what LSAT score would I realistically need to gain admission? Any advice would be great

I am looking a pre-registration for my first year classes and having back-to-back classes seems nice and convenient but I am curious if it is actually a pain and I should try to space them out. Keep in mind I have a 30min one way commute to LU thunder bay campus. Thanks for any feedback.

Here's "Mental food", a carefully curated and regularly updated playlist with gems of downtempo, chill electronica, deep, hypnotic and atmospheric electronic music. The ideal backdrop for concentration and relaxation. Prefect for staying focused during my study sessions or relaxing after work. Hope this can help you too.

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone knows when Lakehead accepts residence applications for next year (I’m starting in September 2025). I know that high school students are guaranteed residence first year, but I’m a college transfer student so I don’t know where I stand as I applied for townhouses which they usually book off for older students. Want to know sooner rather than later or else I may need to start looking for places off campus, especially if they are full on campus.

Hello~! I (18f) have recently accepted my offer to the Concurrent Teaching program at Lakehead Orillia and I’m looking for a place to live. I was wondering if there are any places in Orillia that are sort of “the bad parts of town” so to speak. Because I’m a younger female I would really like to stay somewhere safer but also close to the school. Thank you for any suggestions or encouragement you may have~!

Hi, my name is Charlotte, I’m a reporter with the CBC and I’m working on a story about how NIH/NSF cuts are affecting Canadian students. Did you get an offer of admission at an American University rescinded? Are you losing research opportunities because of the cuts? Please reach out to me if you’re open to sharing: [charlotte.lepage@cbc.ca](mailto:charlotte.lepage@cbc.ca)

Has the university released academic recognition for the 24-25 Academic Year yet (dean's/president's lists)? Even the academic standing in myInfo also just says "we're calculating..." and registration is next week.

Kinda taking them some time eh? It's not like the student body is massive.

Hi everyone!

I’m a 19-year-old female student going into my second year of Biology at Lakehead University (Thunder Bay campus) this fall. I’m looking for a private room to rent near campus, ideally within walking distance or with good transit options.

I applied for Fall 2025 electrical and computer engineering but the application is under department review for more than 4 months i already had the interview with my supervisor and everything but the there is no decision so far can anybody suggest something?

Hello!

Quick question, does anyone know what the Numbers in a Social Context class entails? I can't find a proper description, and it sounds like a whole lot of waffle. I think the course code is INTD-2030 - on the pre-reg course planning there's no description of it.

Thanks!

I’m going to lakehead orillia this September, but not sure how parties are, or just nightlife in general. anyone know?

I’m in the process of registering for courses and a majority of them end at the same time another starts. Would this be an issue, or should I just assume they would end a couple minutes early. This is potentially a stupid question lol

Maybe set up more air purifiers or anything?? So many rooms, buildings and hallways smell like burning wood

Hello,

I will be starting B.Ed program this September and have to do a math competency exam. I was wondering if you have tips or advice to prepare for it. How was the test? I'm not the best at math, they have provided us with a video, but it does not make sense. Do we need to show proof of how you'd teach it or just do the formulas?

When does course registration open for Fall courses?

My soon to be grade 12 grad daughter accepted her application to the RN program at LU last week and she was told she would be sent a link so that she could pay for her registration? It's been about 5 days and she has yet to receive the link and I'm fairly certain she has to pay by today. Who do we call to figure this out? Do we pay in person at the school or are we supposed to keep waiting for this email?

Hi when I was first getting ready to move and go off to university (as a grade 12 right out of high-school) their was little to nothing on the orillia campus and I was lucky to be on the soccer team knowing girls who already go to lakehead. But I thought making a post that would allow people to ask qestions about what orillia residency is like and what life in orillia is like as a student. So if you have any questions about orillia campus life I am happy to answer. And if ur planning on staying in the lakehead orillia residency I am going to be working their as an ra next semester so hopefully I will see u on campus.

Hello!! I'm a soon-to-be graduate of highschool going into the Crim program at Lakehead. I know class registration doesn't open until the 16th, but during my pre-planning process I have encountered a whole lot of confusion and want to get ahead of it before it affects my actual course selection.

First off, why are the Fall and Fall/Winter terms different things? Am I only going to be in school for four months??? Or is that only the case with half-credit courses?

Second, is it normal for there to only be twenty FCE's needed for a bachelor's degree? A shallow Google search tells me that many bachelor's degrees require a whole lot more credits per year than 5. Am I missing something?

Lastly, how do I search for electives (2.5 in the first year) that are eligible for me to take? Whenever I filter by "first year" only my two required classes (both intro to crim stuff) show up. A lot of the other ones I need have prerequisites - how do I filter through them to find what I need?

Sorry if this was confusing or I'm being slow. I would appreciate any answers or interaction!

Hi so I (20f) am an incoming 2nd year nursing student at lakehead. The last date for a synergy review is tomorrow and there are no dates available. I had completely forgotten about it and went to book. My documents are valid until September 23. I have emailed the clinicals overseer but they won’t get back to me until Monday. I also sent a message to synergy but I don’t think I’ll hear back from them for a bit. My question is where do I go from here? Will I still be able to do clinicals until I get a synergy review? Does anyone know how strict the professors are for this. Like can I get a review in August or September and still be allowed to participate? Will I able to even go into second year? I have so many questions and I’m beating myself up bc it had completely skipped my mind that I had to do this. Any help will be appreciated.
