The RYERSON UNIVERSITY thread

[flyingdutchman]

OK, since the other universities have their own, might as well make up one for one for us too...

I am going into first year Mechanical Engineering and i am nor living on campus

Oh why does engineering have to be so expensive? How much did urs cost?

[divx]

university is expensive, but nothing compared to the states, so consider ourselves lucky

$4600 for 1 term (4 month), double that for 8 month. figure just for tuition and other crap, not including meal, housing.
for EE@UW

[Havo]

I'm taking Business Management... Not nearly as expensive... I guess you pay for the equipment u guys use. Mines about $5000/yr w/o books. With books it depends which 1s u buy.

[rajab04]

Engineering may be little bit expensive but it is one of the exciting subject
at the Ryerson. always try to buy used books. if you look around you'll see
many posters stating books for sale. buy them as soon as your prof. recommend them. virtually, you will not lost money if you sell them in the next semester for
$10-$20 less per book. .....and it is also your best interest not to make any bad habbits such as alcohol etc. remember the student you will see in the 1st year in engineering atleat 30% will be gone by the 2nd year- i can promise you that.

[gateway]

I'm going to my final year in Marketing at Ryerson, can't wait to graduate :D my tuition wasn't too bad, about $4000 a year w/o txt books. You'll be able to buy used books, there are lots of postings around, and they are so much cheaper than new. I buy most of my books used, saves me tons of money. Last semester, all my books for the 5 classes I took didn't cost me over $120.

[wolf30]

I'm going into my third year in the ITM program this september. Last year I think I spend about $500 on the textbooks. Big time rip-off. Its like $100+ for those accounting/finance books. My tuition this year is like $6400 or something.

[gq_fuzion]

business management at ryerson has so many used books available for their classes

worst part is that many of the books have changed edition already

tips for first year eng @ rye.

go in the first day at 8am-9am, go to the bookstore. the bookstore is arranged by faculty, they have boards with the courses. find your courses and the text is listed. buy the used ones. because once the prof says the text people leave the class to buy a used one. Check to see if second year used the same book, cause u can buy them off any second year.

also first year eng is general eng, every eng has the same course as others.

[hondansx]

w00t RYENG
Go to frosh, you won't regret it ;)

Also, if you want to get a head start, you can check over some of the course material, as I've scanned the course outlines for Mech Eng here: http://aznrocket.googlepages.com/mecheng

Sigh ... feels like only yesterday I was starting out in first year, now I'm in my final year ... :|

For any third-year mechengs there, I have some tests here: http://yip.dennis.googlepages.com/mechengtests

Enjoy ;)

[smuncky]

[JuJu5522]

Goin into first year for Radio & TV :)

[Soru]

Im going into first year GCM (Graphic Communcation Management). Though I am very eager to go I am still not fully accepted. I am on the waiting list and I am still upgrading my marks. So hopefully everything goes well and I start in Sept. Anyways looking foward to it.

[aw3s0me]

going into my last year of business management (accounting major). i never sell my books cause im too lazy to but i might sell some this year (the third year ones).

ill miss the university when im done, even though i hate school.

[jajola]

Not to scare/discourage you but I took a year of engineering and dreaded every second of it. However, residence and the social aspect of it was unforgettable. Best 8 months of my life...

[atomicwinter]

I'm heading into first year business management, weeee

do u know anything about the direct entry ITM program?
Just wondering if that's a good program? if i jump into 3rd year....can i still get coop?
thanks sir

[x86asm]

I'm heading into my 3rd yr of Electrical Engineering. I will try and sit at the back of the class so I can get more sleep :cheesygri . Oh wait, I'm supposed to learn something aint I?

[gq_fuzion]

goin into my second year in business managment (well human resources major now:P)..looking forward to it

Human Resource Management will be fun

heading into second year HRM as well

also can't wait to get into the new Ryerson Business Building

the place looks amazing

[dangerousfob]

to answer your question, no you cant jump into coop from the 3rd year. You need to start from first year.


ABOUT ITM at Ryerson:

Key things I noticed:
- Laptop fee is an extra ~1400 every year on top of your tuition. You will end up paying $6400 w/o books. you do not get to keep the laptop, its a lease. You can buy it from the school for ~$500 after two years.

- There is a lack of technical skills within the program. You learn a few programming languages but not nearly as many as computer science students. From experience, this does make it hard for ITM students if competing for a technical job. (ex. lack of programming languages compared to computer science)

- Jobs that is more business wise with some technical skills involved is the ideal job for a person in ITM.

- While in the program you can minor in another business field. (marketing, ebusiness, hr, etc).

- (you can major in Networking, Database, ERP, Programming, Digital Media)

This is my recommendation to the whole IT university field if anyone needs an opinion.

If you want to get into IT networking, go to University of Ontario in Oshawa. (great program for networking and learn about hacking, cisco certification)
If you want to get into IT programming, just go into computer science. (learn alot more programs, than from the ryerson ITM or york IT)
If you want a business program with some IT in general, go to york. (from what i hear, although Ryerson seems better :D)
If you want a more balanced level of business and IT, go to Ryerson. (take a few typical business classes such as HR, management, marketing, a few accounting and finance courses, a few programming, database programming, you can major and minor, as well as coop or non coop)

Be aware, at ryerson, you wont learn enough networking to be an all out networking person, or enough digital media to be an all out digital media person, etc, you will learn enough from ryerson to understand how it works and do some basic things.

It is just Information Technology Management, key word is "management."


IF anyone needs some first or second year books, i have some available :D

[MrWizard]

If anyone has any questions about scheduling, timetables and the like, you can email me, I work at Registration and Records.

Here are some rules:

- No, I cannot change your grade/tell you your marks, I can tell you pass/fail, but nothing more
- No, I cannot get you into that full class
- No, I cannot put you into a class before your valid enrollment appointment

PM me for the email address, constantly using my work mail is far less suspicious than constantly checking RFD.

[lastchild01]

hi i am going into my first year for business management. I'm debating whether or not to stay on rez or stay @ home? Any suggestions. One thing i do like is where ryerson is situated in the midst of downtown, does that come into play for rez or attending the school in general.

Also how are the party's like? is it just all like clubbing etc or are there campus parties also?

[emir]

Going to first year ECE.
Seems like the lot of you are going into Engineering or Business of some sort : )

[xtasyx]

Going into first year Mechanical Engineering as well. Frosh week's schedule looks kinda stupid..

[xtasyx]

Also how hard is the math and english proficiency test?

[DaVibe]

Going into 2nd Year Politics & Governance (in the big program that combines Criminal Justice, Sociology, Psychology and Politics from last year) ...

Should be interesting.

if you can study while staying at home and want to save money don't go to rez.
i don't live in rez but too much partying make some of friends to drop out.

:lol: I agree, it sounds cheesy, and it has for years, but it's really fun.

Also how hard is the math and english proficiency test?

They should be relatively straightforward. The only part I had to study for was the trig-identities, since they cut that part out of the high school curriculum when switcthing from the OAC to grade 12 system. As for the English test, it's just an essay, no biggie.

[mrl14]

If anyone needs ITM books let me know, I may have a few. They are listed here

http://www.booksforschool.ca/mike.html

[x86asm]

Also how hard is the math and english proficiency test?
Also the test is not based on pass/fail. They pass the upper 2/3 of the test takers and put the bottom 1/3 of the test takers in the remedial class (even if they get passing grades).

So you know, you should try and intentionally screw up your friends :lol: .

[Mint]

04' Mech. Eng grad here.

- I would recommend that people try to get into co-op or internship. I didn't do it after my 3rd year, and I felt that it made finding a job/competing with people who did difficult after i graduated.

- I would also suggest that the engineers join the Ontario Engineering Competition.

- Ryerson also has a Tri-mentoring program (for all faculties), in which they pair up first year students with 2nd/3rd/4th year students. The goal is to help the student with the transition from high school. As a 4th year student you also get paired up with a Professional Mentor (i.e someone from the industry - likely a ryerson grad). My professional mentor was great; nice guy and really didicated to giving back to Ryerson. I will likely joining this year as a Professional Mentor.

I would like to know if a RYENG grad compared to, lets say a UofT Eng grad would have any difference as i'm debating whether or not i should try my butt off to see if i can switch uni. I heard from my friend that most employers don't really care about the undergraduate and all engineers must past some engineering society test, which is standard for all engineering programs in order for them to graduate and become a professional engineer?

the reputation of the school partially helps getting your FIRST job only, but it's not the main criteria. I would hire someone with good experience (from any school) over a top school w/ no experience.
People might argue that "if two candidates were equal then I'd choose the one from the better school..." but the problem is, you rarely get two equal candidates. Most top candidates stand out, and the choice never comes down to school.
As for subsequent jobs, experience trumps everything, with personality a close second.

When it comes to working, an engineer is an engineer. if the accreditation board says you graduated with a BASC,BEng,whatever, that's enough.
As for that "exam" thing you are thinking about, it's the school that has to make sure they are accredited. You don't have to do anything other than graduate.

And after 4 yrs of work experience, you apply for your P.Eng and voila, you are an engineer (there's a law/ethics test too). and by then, no one cares where you went.

wrong wrong wrong omg so wrong. It is pass or fail. Your saying its possible to get 70% and still have to take remedial math/english. that math course messes up your sched like crazy, cause now u gotta do an extra course.

I could be wrong, but i think my year was the first to take this test because of the double cohort.

[Electricute]

3 other things.

1. Anybody in 2nd or 3rd year civil eng? i have some old text that i can sell.

2. if you are taking the law and ethics for engineers (3rd and 4th year), i recommend that you try and get a copy of the law book, because most of the material you will need to know for your PEng test. As for the ethics part, i never went to class once, studied for 2 hours the night before the final and musta got 85%+. its all common sense.



3. anybody looking for a poker game at school? Theres usually a "friendly" ;) poker game in the cafeteria. PM me if your interested

didn't go to rye for undergrad.

[x86asm]

OK my timetable is up!

I get off at 1pm on Friday and 11am on Wednesday. Not bad. Of course 2 days I have my courses start @ 8am in the morning which means I have to wake up @ 6am. I am likely going to be skipping those often since most of the time I am too lazy.

time tables have been up for a while, i start early but usually finish early. I have a thesis lab from 9-12 on thursday, but im pretty sure thats a "skip me and go to the caisno class"

[xtasyx]

This whole matrix system was pretty confusing. Never knew that you had to go through registration twice to retrieve your actual schedule and other stuff. But my schedule looks really relaxing, almost a break after every course! :lol: Hope the elective won't be too time consuming =\ Also can anyone recommend me an easy-to-achieve-high-marks elective?

[Dryluck]

Gooo Ryerson....

Goooooo Bad Scheduling..... Required Course: Friday 6:30pm - 9:30pm.

How come no ones mentioned the Used Book Store on Victoria Street? My apologies if someone did say something and I missed it. I can't recall the address...but it's like a block south of Ryerson on the west side.

Currently at my workplace, I'm the only Ryerson grad. But I wouldn't say one school is better than the other. We all learn the same physics, thermo, mechanics, etc etc. I really feel its more about the individual, rather than the school.

anyone in or graduated Graphics Communication Management?

Entering my fourth and final year in Nursing.

Just fixed up my timetable, after they dropped me out of my PR and elective! But it's good now cuz I managed to get a day off. My first every day off in this 4 yr program! WOW! I'm so looking forward to all those days when I'll just stay in BED! lol.

Anyway, I'm taking PSY 324 Biological Psych and GEO 720 "The Inner Landscape of Culture". Anyone know how these courses are? And what txtbooks they require? Thnx in advance! =)

Hi all, this will be my first year at Ryerson and I'm going to take couple of courses in Continuing Education (chang school)......

My Q is if I opt to go part time next year into Ryerson, will they give credit for the ones I'm taking this fall? (If it's the same program and meets the courses that im currently taking)

Since I moved recently from states, I guess I missed out on PartTime Degree admission dates so will try next year....


(I'll appreciate if you can comment/advise on this...)
Thanks

im not 100% but u should keep the credits you earned, especially if u get above a certain mark, but i think the chang school is still part of ryerson. I don't have ny experience with it though.

[Sundin]

I posted this in another thread, but you guys from Ryerson probably didn't see it. Ill try here please answer thanks :).

Just got a couple q's...

I want to do Journalism at Ryerson University or Sheridan collage, my average was around 65 last year (grade 10) since I slacked off the ENTIRE year. I mean, I didn't do ANY homework, just did projects when they were do and got by the tests/quizzes.

In Journalism, you don't NEED to have a high average in Science/Math/Business/etc.. those courses. Going into grade 11 this year, I am gonna try this year + grade 12. I am really good in English, I can get 80-90 easily. In grade 9 + 10 I got 76 + 75 in English, because I didn't do anything.

If I have a really good mark in English, and just get away with passes on the other classes, will Ryerson/Sheridan journalism programs look at math/science/etc when I really am only going into an English program? For Journalism, it's going to be print journalism, so writing and such.

Just wondering because Math is my WORST subject and I took applied this year instead of Academic (grade 11 applied math this year). I am also dropping Science this year aswell (grd 11).

So can anybody tell me, would getting into a Journalism program at Ryerson Uni/Sheridan collage require me to have a high average in ALL my courses? Or just English?

Thanks pleaaase respond.

[winner2000]

I'm not in Journalism or anything, but you should keep in mind that the Journalism program (from what I've read) is a very challenging program to get into (read: lots of applicants, few spaces).

As a result, its in your best interest to keep ALL of your grades as high as possible because:

a) The higher your average is, the better the chance of you getting into the program (they also probably want some sort of portfolio or something I'm guessing, but grades are mucho important!)
b) God forbid you don't get into journalism, or change your mind (since you haven't even started Grade 11 yet), having high marks in other important pre-reqs (i.e. calculus) keeps a LOT more doors open for you in terms of what other programs you can apply to

Don't just rule everything out...I've seen people literally become new people by working hard. I knew this one guy in Grade 9, he was a punk, all he did was slack off in school and skateboard...this year he turned himself around and was mainitaining a 94 average. He just worked extremely hard...that's all. If it was Friday, last period...everyone's talking, he'd do his work and ask the teacher questions.

[rajab04]

any suggestion for a relatively easy to get high marks lower level liberal?

Some liberal studies are easier than the others. chance of getting good marks
are high if you take easier one's. for me, economics is the easiest. however,
if one spend more time on liberal studies, there is a good chance of getting less marks in the other courses.

GEO 507 Explorations of the Urban Environment
GEO 509 Food, Place and Identity: Geography of Diet

Hey, those were some of my choices too, if it didn't conflict with my core courses. Anyway, a friend of mine took 509 last year and she said it was fun. They discussed about different recipes and the assignment was to write a recipe of a cultural dish from your own culture or something. And at the end of the sem, they had a pot-luck I think.

Hope that helps with your decision!
..but don't forget, it always depends on your prof too...and I dunno who she had last year...but good luck!

I've always founded geography interesting and fun through High School, glad to see it may follow the trend in Uni :)

First year Electrical Engineering, ryEng! lol

My schedule is brutal, I don't know how I'm going to survive this year!!!!

It's really easy if one is smart. Did you hard about Trimentoring Program?
It's of really help for the 1st year students. . check the ryerson website.

[Jaysan]

really???

yeah..lol, didn't like it much...

transferred to itm..lol

[emz]

Good luck to all 1st year students entering University and those who have switched to Ryehigh from some other school :D

I'll be entering my final year in the nursing program. I'm minoring in Psychology as well. So feel free to ask questions regarding those 2 subjects. I'll try to help out as best as I can.

By the way, does anyone know if the new business building is open yet? I wanna check out the inside before school starts...

I'm going into my third year in the ITM program this september. Last year I think I spend about $500 on the textbooks. Big time rip-off. Its like $100+ for those accounting/finance books. My tuition this year is like $6400 or something.

I'm also going in to my 3rd year of ITM. I heard were getting Dells instead of Thinkpads. One thing I hate is the laptop fee... its so unreasonable. I use maybe 2 software packeges in the whole thing and yet I'm paying for a crap load of other garbage installed in it.

Did anyone here take pop culture as their elective course?

Also, for the math proficiency test...are we allowed to use calculators?

[wolf30]

spring courses marks should have already been released, but the summer courses are to be released on the 22nd of august

Any idea why there is such a huge delay for us Ryerson students to get our grades while some other universities get there grades like in a week? My class ended on the first of august. How the hell are students gonna make arrangments and adjustments for failed courses and such if they don't receive their marks on a timely basis? Me starting to wonder what the registrar ( you can see his pick at the ryerson website ) guy does all day at Ryerson :?: .

[Jaysan]

lol, usually, Ryerson gives their faculty about 1 to 1.5 weeks to finish marking all the exams, then Ryerson takes a few days to upload the marks..lol

wut info do u need on that bird course?

Tuition fees should be due at the start of classes. I think RAMMS sometimes doesn't work when there are too many people accessing it. Keep trying.

[TheGoods07]

Is our OSAP money ready to be picked up. if not when can we pick it up?

[x86asm]

Hey when do the Metro passes go on sale at Ryerson? I need to pick one up for September. Also wher eare they sold? in the SCC?

question for u, last year i got a bursary for $900, they sent out a cheque for $400 and said the reminaing $500 was left in my account, i decided to just leave it there, so i would get $500 off my tuition this year, but i got my fee statement and no sing of a $500 credit...any ideas?

Are you able to log into RAMSS? In 'My Account Summay', the credit should be listed under the whichever term you were given the bursary.

Hey whatsup, anyways my friend she is really interested in this nursing programs in ryerson but they put her on the waiting list, many people got into the program with lower averages then her, she's really frustrated, she also got into york university which she really does not want to go into, she planning to stay back one semester in highschool and try boosting her marks, to see if she can make it to ryerson next year, she says its the top program for nursing and stuff, can you give me any reccomendations or some stuff that i can help her out by or so, thanks!

go to york for 1 semester/1year and then switch to ryerson and transfer her credits over, 1:1 ratio...even if its a bad commute its worth it time wise for her academic/career course

just try to get york courses that have equivalent in ryerson so it can all be easily transferred...ie liberals + core nursing courses of a 1st year student

no point wasting anymore time in high school...she stays for 1 semester in high school, then reapplies for ryerson next sept...thats a year wasted...ryerson nursing doesnt take students mid year...plus it doesnt guarantee her acceptance again next year

she goes to york, transfers into 2nd year of ryerson, shes on the right time track....and the transfer has a better chance...still not guaranteed but much better chance than a high schooler

ps worst case, she goes to george brown college nursing since its joint program with ryerson and then transfer into ryerson

Did she just apply to the Ryerson site or all 3 of the joint sites (Centennial + George Brown)? She can apply through the college applications to either the Centennial or GB "collaborative nursing program" and it will still be the same. And unlike the previous poster who said that you can "transfer" to Ryerson after two years, it's the same program. So you don't really have to "transfer" you automatically are at the Ryerson site for the last two years of the program. Somewhat you are treated equally, but there are it's disadvantages of that as well. ie: original Ryerson students knows where things are located and what certain policies are, whereas students from C or GB would need to adjust to the new environment and class sizes. And if you remember that College strike last year, the students originally from C or GB got screwed over! Other than that, there is no difference.

And also as the previous poster had suggested about taking courses at York then exempting out of them next year at Rye, I'm not sure if that would be possible with the core nursing courses, although I'm sure it would work for the electives and the professional related courses depending on which ones she chooses.

Hope that helps! :cheesygri :cheesygri

[Jaysan]

Marks are up:D

[wolf30]

When I click on My grades spring/summer 2006 isn't even there. This is pathetic. 4 frinking weeks of waiting to get our marks and It ain't even on my ramss. I think the registrar should be fired and replaced.

[timbs]

Has anyone taken ENT726 - Creating a Business Plan?

Let me know please!

[Electricute]

No I don't work there. You should contact the cashier's office regarding payments. I have no idea how that works sorry. :|

i called the cashiers office just now, and supposedly they have been charing me a late fee on my last year's second semester payment, although I paid that last september, so i had $100+ in late fees. they reversed it, and the bursary is showing onhte account now.

can't believe tuition is at $6,300 now. not including books/rez....

Don't leave anything to your account - it's bad for many reasons beleive me.
contact the cashier with a copy of all the documents you have. she (cashier)
fixed my late fees from the spring courses which i never take. (i cannot even
think of it - i never fail/drop courses)

[wolf30]

Anyone know when we can add winter 2007 courses? Stupid ramss won't let me.

yup it used to be ~5900 for me. I guess the same for you as well.

[lilbumblebee]

I'm also in my final year of nursing at Ryerson. I personally hate the system, and Ryerson altogether, but its too late for me to switch schools. I also don't agree that we are treated equally as original "Ryerson students". There are actually differences if you come from the colleges rather than starting out at Ryerson. Theres just alot of politics behind it all.

Also, my beef is with tuition. Honestly, to pay 5000 something dollars and to not be at school for half the time, thats ridiculous.

Note to first year students, check your tuition fees constantly, Ryerson tries to sneak in a few dollars here and there for "late fees" if you dont' get them corrected, and dont' notice them, you might end up paying an extra 20 dollars every now and then.

[ze-ta]

Anyone know when we can add winter 2007 courses? Stupid ramss won't let me.

You should be able to add courses right now. I had some problems with adding courses (invalid enrollment appointment) since yesterday, so I went down to my dept. main office this afternoon, and they entered the W2007 courses for me. But, if I log into RAMSS now, I can remove and add courses without any issues.




Sigh, I just noticed the total tuition this year for me is $6200. I'm so boned. >:(

[D-Sisive]

Anyone know when we can add winter 2007 courses? Stupid ramss won't let me.

go check your "my enrollment appointment" and it should tell you when you are allowed

ze-ta just bypassed it by going to the office to do it in person but usually you have to wait till your enrollment time (cause they can do this since they are doing it for new registered students or students who will be gone early and have no chance to pick courses)

you would notice this because sometimes you see a course that has a couple of spots left, then you wake up during your enrollment time only to find them closed already since ppl got it registered in person and it takes a bit to reflect online in ramss the class open spots

[MrWizard]

Hmm, this W2007 enrollment is news to me. I haven't heard anything about it, but maybe it was a decision made and they just haven't informed us....

Originally we were thinking sometime between now and September 15th, but if not then end of September-ish.

Guys, PLEASE do not come to Registration and Records (or Enrollment Services and Records as we are called now) to be put into your day-time classes. YOU have to do it on RAMSS, we cannot, and will not put you in. If you are having issues with your account, then we can try to fix it, but we won't put you in your classes.

Many of you are coming to the counter complaining about the 'Transcript Verification' hold. Do not worry about it, it will not stop you from doing anything. It is something put up by our staff for internal reasons.

We are trying to get Spring/Summer 2006 grades for degree students up by Saturday.

As a side note, this Friday is my last day there, so if you guys have any questions, get them in now. If you pm'ed me before and I didn't give a response, send another and I will try to respond.

Haha very true, I checked me statement one day and found 80 dollars outstanding even though I paid off everything, sure enough I called them and they removed the charge saying it was an error.

Also for first years, if you're covered under your parent's (or guardians) medical/dental plan be sure to opt out of the ryerson student plan to get back like 200 dollars. Once you opt out in first year I believe its automatic for the rest of the years.

[mack]

Once you opt out in first year I believe its automatic for the rest of the years.

i'm second year and have opt out already since first year. how does that work? do i just go pick up my check or do i have to fill out the form again?

[grego9198]

Yea pretty much, from the RSU website:
"If you opted out of the health or dental plan last year, you do not need to opt-out again. Your reimbursement cheque will be automatically processed and available for pick up in early November."

Ya I hate when that happens. I would wake up at eactly the time they opended and all the spots would be filled up and I would be like WTF? Damn registrar pi$$es me off. Him and his stupid idea to implement ramss when the old rows was much better and faster. I wasn't even able to add some of the courses for the fall and winter term during the course intention period back in march thanks to this A$$wipe and had to go down to the office to do it and even they couldn't add any liberals for me and then there's the student fee's. They charged me late fee's when I paid all my fees before they were due and then they refused to give me cash back even though I paid them in cash and they said they could only credit my account. This university is pi$$ing me off more and more each year.

[TheGoods07]

Hey all. I'm going into my third year as a marketing major and I am still deciding if I should take a minor. I just wanted to know anybody's opinion on taking a minor. Is it really necessary and will it help you out in the future when it comes to trying to find a job? Thanks.

Hi all, I'll be going part time next semester at Ryerson, missed the deadline for this one so I'll be taking couple of courses through CHANG SCHOOL....

My Q is,does anyone know what program(if available) or route i should go to become business analyst (i see they offer 1 course for this called Buisness Analysis and Design) will probably take it in Jan for saturday session....

or do i have to go through the ITM route for this position?

You think ROWS was amazing right from the start? No, like every system, there are faults in the beginning, and they are worked out as you go.

RAMSS is a great system, many of you just don't know how to use it properly, and when something goes wrong, you get pissed at the wrong people.

[ZeroFlares]

Hi,

So, im entering Ryerson for the first year and was just wondering how the everything works.

in the booklet they sent me, it says I had to pay

1000$ by July 14 (which I did)
2000$ when i get my timetable

and the rest somewhere in Jan

I was wondering where i will be getting my timetable and if i willl be paying the 2000$ before or after I get my timetable.

[MrWizard]

You get your timetable on RAMSS.

Hey, I'm going in my first year for biology and I'm not too sure how RAMSS works. So I got a few questions...

How do you know if your enrolled into a class? Cuz under "My Class Schedule" on RAMSS, theres already a list of courses there. Am I suppose to attend to these classes? or choose from this list?

I've been away on vacation, so I have no clue what to do :|

More than likely your courses were preselected for you minus an elective.

To check your timetable go to "My weekly Class Schedule" and then choose to view the week of Sept. 11th. That should do it, you might want to compare it to the week after as well just in case you have labs or something that are bi-weekly.

Can someone help me, trying to find out the new location for the classrooms.

where is "285 Victoria Street Room 105" is that in the OLD business building?

and "Ryerson Business Building Room 3147" in the new business building?

Does anyone know where i can find the map of the new business building for the inside and outside?

[batman321123]

The first one is the old building, the second one is the new one.

Heck, I don't even know what's going on inside that new business building. So you won't be alone in being confused and lost. If you REALLY wanted to know, go there before school starts, if you can. Find all your classroom locations so you won't have to peek into every class to find out if you have the right room number or not.

I've been in situations before when I would enter a room, sit, then realize I was in the wrong class ;) Oh the good old days...and I was in my 2nd year!

The earlier is the old building and the later is the new building, there was an email sent out... and about the rooms ya, going before school starts doesn't hurt, I don't wish to get lost on the first day... besides if there's an attractive girl and she's lost you wanna point her in the right direction, and possibly get her number lol.

[Yukikaze]

So does ryerson officially have two Business buildings? or the old business building into Victoria street building and the other new building as the "official business building?"

[MrWizard]

The first one is the old building, the second one is the new one.

It's separate.

Ryerson has 2 business buildings, whether it remains that way forever is yet to be seen.

[angela44]

WAIT! I'm a bit confused here.

So the old business building is the one across from Tim Hortins
and the new one is on Dundas beside Eatons and above the new CT and BB?

[emz]

So the old business building is the one across from Tim Hortins and the new one is on Dundas beside Eatons and above the new CT and BB?

Yes, that's correct. I passed by the new building last week and I couldn't get in because they were still doing stuff inside...but I did see some staff and faculty go in through the side doors... *shrugs* :confused: Good luck to us all trying to figure that place out next week.

I went inside to check it out today. Its pretty nice but I found the classrooms a bit dull because the walls don't look like they're covered in concrete/wood like the ones in the engineering building. However, the chairs/desks are similar to the ENG classrooms (that I like).

From what I saw, they still have work to do on the escalators, cleaning, and touchups. I think its pretty much finished.

also, if i have a scholarship, will they send me a check for the amounts that left or does it carry over to next term?

You get your student card during Orientation Week.

For a complete fees breakdown (if you can't get it on RAMSS) then go to the Student Fees office.

For scholarships, it will likely just end up as a credit on your account, I can't see them giving you the money.

I went to pick up a MetroPass yesterday, there wasn't many people in the SCC building at all, though tons in and around the campus...

[flyingdutchman]

The Engineering Frosh rocked hard today!

[fonefreak]

are the metro pass still on sale? casue they get sold out pretty quick.

[ZeroFlares]

Another question..... I have a departmental ancillary fee which is suppose to be due by Sept. to avoid late fees... where do i pay that?

[trixR4kids]

when do we get our ids? how abouts do we get it?

whens the next fee due? (for undergraduate $1000)

[x86asm]

are the metro pass still on sale? casue they get sold out pretty quick.
Yup there still is. I got mine yesterday. Go fast though cause usually the lineups start at the very last minute.

[trixR4kids]

how much is the pass?

[coriolis]

It's $87.

Was going there to get another for my sister today(got mines on Monday at noon, it was empty), the lineup was pretty huge at 2:30~ or so, decided to get it tomorow during the Orientation.

isn't it only 1 per student?

[emz]

isn't it only 1 per student?

Yes because you have to show your student card each time. So unless you have a friend who won't need a pass, you can probably get more :)

[coriolis]

Or you can show the Student time table + offer of admisson instead of the One Card, which is what I brought. My sister is sick, so she couldn't come downtown.

[isom3tric]

angrydutchman do you have a nickname yet?

IF IT HAS THE STUDENT ID IT WILL PROBABLY WORK.

I'm guessing this is no different than UofT, but I'd like to double check anyways: Lab classes don't begin until (at least) the second week, right?

i logged onto RAMSS, but i dont see a fees breakdown anywhere..

i think im not registered in their system yet to show up :(

they usually sold out before the end of the month.

[A_Nana]

nah i dont think so, the person infront of me in line bought 2 and showed student card only..

[DaVibe]

I'm hoping because it's September, they were anticipating the rush. I've even seen them run out and then get more, so maybe they'll get MORE if they're out.

With that said, I'm heading down to Ryerson tomorrow to try and pick up my pass ... I'll update when I can (afternoon/evening) on whether I was able to pick one up or not.

If anything, GET IT SOON! (or call?)

[AnubisReturns]

thought i'd hop onto this thread as im going into first yr architecture. hi everybody.
i was able to pick up a pass yesterday, thought i was late and wouldnt be able to get one :S anyway.. goodluck 2mrw.

haha.. the lines for the One cards were ridiculous during the orientation. luckily i got mines early in the morning when it was a 20min line. i went back later with a friend and the line went down the hall turned the corner and down another hall lol.

[trixR4kids]

im having a hard time choosing courses for itm,
so i have a couple of questions:
1) any1 no what im suppose to be picking?
2) where do i pick up the laptop that im rentin from them ? and when

So they're closed on Friday's and weekends during the summer? Now I know.
Just get the MetroPass at Shoppers if you need it ... Optimum Points.

Question. Do I need a new student card as a second year student, or do I use the same one from last year? Just thought I'd ask :p

i think we get our old card renewed @ the ONE CARD office, they prolly just put a lil sticker on it

[coriolis]

I hate my one card, I had the booth with the Web Cam(LOL! The others had camcorders...) so the pic in mines looks awful! Plus, the camera was crooked, which turned out in the card as well!

I'm thinking of ditching it and getting a new one, sure I have to pay but damn, I look awful :p

I am a first year student for Ryerson's ITM program..

Perfect. Now I know.

Is all this "Need to know" information on Ryerson's website? Or anywhere for that matter?

I just don't want to be missing out on anything ... maybe I'm asking for too much but where's the checklist at? Everyone just assumes you know everything. School wise and learning wise, fine but when it comes to finding out what needs a sticker, what needs to be paid, and whatever else, they could help a LITTLE.

[DaVibe]

Seems like there was a lot of confusion with the buildings in what's what now ... anyone have an updated map of the campus?

Probably search for it a little later ...

I've recently found this out by looking through RSU's agenda and it's quite interesting. We're all charged about $272 for dental and health insurance and it's included in our tuition. If you are already covered by another company or like how I am, through my parent's company insurance, you can opt-out of this and claim your $272 in November. To do so, you have to show either a benefit card, letter from the employer or previous benefits statement as well as signing an Opt-Out form before Friday, October 6th at 5pm at RSU Members' Health & Dental Plan office.

about the one card thing, i transferred in to 3rd year, last year, and now im going to my last. Do i have to renew my one card? they put a sticker on mine when i went to the osap place in the lower gym.
edit: i finally looked at the sticker, which says "expires aug '07". why did they have to put that? haha seems pointless ...

Is Ramss correct? Were supposed to pay the entire year's worth of tuition by Sept 9th?? I thought you paid approx half in Sept and the rest before winter term starts? I'm going into 2nd yr urban planning.

http://www.ryerson.ca/studentguide/MoneyMatters1.html

3. Payment Schedule:

Full-time Program Students:

Your full year's tuition fees are payable prior to the start of fall classes (due date: September 8, 2006). If you choose not to pay your full fees by September 8, you will be charged a late fee of 1.5 percent per month (19.6% effective annual rate) on any outstanding balance effective on September 9, 2006.
And I've been told that there's a grace period until the end of Sept.

[coriolis]

I've been told that they are being a bit lenient, since most people still have yet to get OSAP money to pay for the tuition...

[gq_fuzion]

last year... i payed my tuition 3 weeks late without any interest charges

my buddy didn't pay his til january without penalty

[atomicwinter]

On my RAMSS it also shows that i have to pay my full tuition..It shows on my due charges that i have to pay by the 8th/9th o_O which is 4,736.03 in total. where as my account summary for fall it says 2,790.54
So yeah. I don't quite understand it, and my OSAP doesn't come in till next week with only $3000 loan for the fall. and the 2000 something in the winter.
I'm first year Business Management btw, and for my winter semester I have an overlap of ACC 100 and QMS 102, so if i drop those two courses does my tuition fee go down?

[gq_fuzion]

why do you have an overlap?

ACC100 and QMS 102 are fall semester courses
in the winter semester, you take ACC406 and QMS202

[flyingdutchman]

Does anyone know how much RESS sells past mid-terms for? Also, do they have past labs and other stuff or only mid terms?

[atomicwinter]

why do you have an overlap?

ACC100 and QMS 102 are fall semester courses

I have ACC 406 and QMS 202 in my winter semester lol, i also have ACC100 and QMS102 in winter too for some reason o_O
*edit*
okay I'm just gonna drop them, hopefully my tuition will go down.

[coriolis]

I got my OSAP today, but I only got $2800, when my course fee due in Fall 2006 is 2,754.80! And I still need to get textbooks...

If you're a full time student, I'm pretty sure you can't pay by credit card. I could be wrong though....

Time to check out at the cashier's office.

You can't. I went in there planning to pay on credit card so I could get some nice Aeroplan points, but they said only part time students could.

I just ended up doing it via online banking.

[rajab04]

It's truely barbaric :mad: . I get 1% back on my CC. some other universities do except CC for the full time students though.

Its quite sad that Ryerson is asking donation again. Once they call back again i'm going to give them the F off to them and argue what they have done with the money.. What i see on their spending is shameful, truely sad. They spent it all on the business building but couldn't repay much of it and then put a retail store in it. :mad: :mad:

Ya I get that stupid letter each year along with 5 phone calls from the school asking for donation. They aren't getting a single penny from me for the donation so they might as well take their letter and shove it up their A$$es :)

[DaVibe]

I don't understand why the school would call CURRENT students. Every student I know will tell them to get the hell away from them, since they're already paying out their a$$es in tuition just to attend the school. Everyone knows that there's debt accumulated, so why would they ask the ATTENDING students.

THEY SHOULD ask the ones who have graduated, likely have careers and have the money to shell out. Have good things to say about Ryerson and maybe can even be "thankful" with a donation. Not the ATTENDING students.
That's just me though.

But even so, they can try but my guess is they get very little. I'm at home so my Mom read it before I did because she already knew what it was. Opened it, read it, we threw it away. She tells them forget about it if they call. I think every parent would feel the same, especially if they help their kids out with the tuition.

[SoGood]

despite the fact that tuition is raised, and so many people are saying its too high and stuff, i do consider us lucky that we're only paying about 5G's a yr for school, not saying thats chump change or anything but in the states its like 20G's a year.

[DaVibe]

And parts of Europe are free. If you're willing to take the steps forward and want to educate yourself further, why are we not able to do that without paying? Why must the funds be an obstacle?
By Canadian standards, it's high comparison or no comparison. It's the type of thing we expect to get better and not worse.

does ryerson even have a recongizable business school ?? never knew they had one... i know they churn out undergrads in business but anything above that? like a Rotman, Schluich or Ivey level business school?

[rodneyc8063]

I saw a post or two talking about the ITM program and giving it a general comparison to other programs.

Im a recent graduate from the program as well, and while I agree that the over all program is not technical heavy, it has an excellent balance between business theory as well as the technical side. The education gives you a solid foundation to build upon, which a lot of employers have commented to me about. The program in my opinon is broad enough to give people in it the choice to go to either the business or the more technical side depending on the individual.

If you want to be very technical, just go to college and take some data base courses. Those are probably the most technical, but then the field is narrowed vastly if you limit yourself to just one choice. ITM i have found has allowed me the freedom to apply to a variety of jobs. While at times i felt a bit inadequete in some of the jobs i applied to (applications developer for example) I never felt that I wasnt capable of at least learning the material if i was hired and trained.

A lot of the employers also noticed how enthusiastic i was about the jobs when i did interview. It really depends on the person and what you make of the degree.

Also i switched from Civil engineering to ITM and i find the job prospects to be a lot more diverse and intresting. One job required me to travel within north america like every week to do consulting. Not for me, but for some very fun.

My two cents

[DaVibe]

If you're thinking about dropping a course, this is the week to do it.
If you drop before the end of this week, you should be able to recover 50% of your money back for that course (in good academic standing).

If done after this date and before November something (10th? - Check the Calendar), you get 0% of your money back but leave in good academic standing.

Something to keep in mind.

speaking as a ryerson grad student now...

i agree...compared to a lot of other universities, especially the more established and higher echelon ones. it sucks big time. facilities, faculty, student body and resources is not on par with the more prestigioius ones.

but as an undergrad place to go get a bachelor's, it's not that bad, not much different than high school; especially if you've never attended a better university.

You can't just open up a University and not be running up to par ...

I'm at Ryerson now and enjoy it ... can't say I'd want to be at York or U of T, but I have a feeling you're not comparing Ryerson to those Universities either.

[D-Sisive]

dont wanna go here but really depends on the program you are in

ie School of Early Childhood Education is pretty good program at ryerson

radio & television is good too

business...not so much as they just churn out bcom students like crazy

engineer, not so much as the other bigger brand name unis for this

etc etc on the other programs

overall uni rep only goes as far as the front door, once u get enough experience, it doesnt matter what your alma mata was

plus some ppl dont like to commute to the middle of nowhere (york/utscar) so downtown it is :D

What program were you in? And care to elaborate and how its facilities and faculty do not match up?
You can't just open up a University and not be running up to par ...

I'm at Ryerson now and enjoy it ... can't say I'd want to be at York or U of T, but I have a feeling you're not comparing Ryerson to those Universities either.

what do you mean you cant be not running upto par?? of course you can, that's why there are the ivy leagues and the bottom barrel uni's who cater to those who got rejected by top and mid tier universities.

just look around the campus and facilities as in libraries, equipment, buildings and the people around you (high caliber student body does make a difference to overall education). and then the prof's, there are some good prof's, but ryerson is not going to attract nor able to attract the top tier prof's simply because they are not interested in it. for many students, this may not make a difference, but even in undergrad profs do make a difference, not in mere course material but interaction and their breadth of knowledge and experience.

York i dont have first hand experience to, but having been there a bit, i'll say faculty wise the two are even, but facilities wise, ryerson is way behind.

and U of T downtown is a good few levels above ryerson in faculty, student body, resources etc...

Attending Ryerson is like attending high school/college, if you ever do get the chance, go study at places like McGill, U of T downtown, Queen's, UBC, even Guelph, WAterloo etc... very much different and much less HS type environment ryerson fosters.

ryerson do have some good programs in specific areas, but so do colleges. ryerson doesnt resemble universities IMO in traditional areas of faculty, facilities, innovation and student body caliber.

but with its location and very limited resources, ryerson is doing not too bad with what it has.

[gilboman]

overall uni rep only goes as far as the front door, once u get enough experience, it doesnt matter what your alma mata was

plus some ppl dont like to commute to the middle of nowhere (york/utscar) so downtown it is :D

uni rep is not the issue here, its the education experience. of course, it also depends on whether the student will take initiative to communicate with profs and so forth, if they dont, ryerson like seneca will be just fine.

but if they want to gain most from education and absorb what profs of high caliber and leaders in their field can offer, ryerson is not even close.

but for non commuters who couldnt get into UT Downtown, ryerson is not a bad last/second choice at all. especially if they are in specific programs where ryerson is good at.

but as a unveristy and overall academic institution, ryerson is second to third rate.

and dont get me started on the jurassic period student web service and administration of the university. it is appaling and too bad most ryerson students do not know how much better it is at other universities in terms of adminstration and ease of use and features for records and other matters.

Ryerson has some good programs with good design and structure (Hence why i chose it for post graduate studies in the first place), but no ability to implement them to the level of the top tier canadian universities.

Quick question:

The requirement for admission to the Business Management program at Ryerson is ENG4U and 1 4U Math. Does this mean the math course can be any math course (data or calculus)? Will it have any affect on the admission if I only took Data? Will calculus give me a better chance at the program or not? I'm asking because alot of programs only require 1 4U math, do they have any "bias" towards people who only take data and not calculus?

Thanks

To get into Business Management at Ryerson they do not care what 4U math you take. I would actually recommend taking Data Management in high school as you must take it first year at Ryerson. However, if you wish to major in Economics I highly recommend you take calculus in high school because you will have to take many calculus courses in the future.

[DaVibe]

Someone who goes to U of T will tell you Ryerson is garbage, while someone who's graduated from Ryerson with the job of their dreams will tell you it was the key to their success.

I don't even think it matters. You can be the brain all you want, if you can't hold a better interview than I can, then good luck. Not like that in all cases but ... very much depends on the program, the situation, the job altogether. That's life. I chose Ryerson and I'm liking it, the end.

[ninemillie9]

I'm about to graduate from College with Business Administration Co-op Diploma.

I've been looking into transfer programs.. and after checking the Ontario Credit Transfer guide, I found that there are 2 Direct Entry program i can get into at Ryerson..that is ITM and Business Management program... and it'll only take 2 years for a Bcomm Degree

From what I've notice so far from working as a Co-op student i realize that the Business aspect comes natural to me... but I feel like im lacking in the technical side of things... I would like to learn more about web developement, data base management, creating simple programs etc.. I just want to know if ITM would teach me some of those things...

On the other hand, the whole story about renting the laptop for $1000 sorta threw me off..

here are my questions:

Approximately how much is the tuition for a semester?
What kind of computer skill would i acquire?
what are the pro and cons about the ITM and the Business Management?


THANKS!

What he said. I turned down UofT St. George (commerce), and I'm loving it at RyeHigh. I'm currently holding down a part time job in my field while schooling full-time, so I'm not complaining about the lack of job prospects available to Ryerson students.

Is anyone here in the Journalism program at Ryerson?

I would love to hear about their experiences. :razz:

I know the journalism program was mentioned earlier on but I would appreciate if someone could go into a little more detail about some of it.

From the reading I have done in Macleans and reviews I read (don't know how accurate they are:cheesygri ), it seems to be the most competitive program in Ryerson.

1300 (approx) people applied
150 (approx) students admitted....

Does anyone know more about how strict they are in terms of average?

From the website, they only stated they wanted an English mark above 75 but it is obvious to me that the English mark and the portfolio has to be top-notch.

Can anyone shed any more information on that? Thanks in advance.:cheesygri

Yes, Ryerson does not have a football team like most U.S. Universities or northern Ontario Universities.
But what else ... I'd like to know what the big differences are.

Dedicated campus? U of T has the same problem ...

Please explain.

first, the prof's. they are decent teachers, but ryerson profs are generally not the same caliber as say McGill, Queen's or UT in that they are not at the forefront of their fields. this is because rye high is not a traditonal university but basically a glorified college and do not focus on research and thus, do not get/retain/hire the leaders in the field that they teach.

there is no alumni support, no heritage, no history, no distinguished alumni that come back to talk with the students. the student body is very much like the profs there as well, but this is due to the programs and limitations of ryerson, it is just like a HS/college and to churn out paper/students without regard to personal development or engagement.

the entire campus is a joke, and is the same as a big high school in the US, certainly not a a university.

basically rye high describes the "unversity" to a tee. its not post secondary education but better to think of it as gr. 13-16 instead of university.

you really need to goto a Queen's, McGill, UBC, UT (St.George), even guelph to know what you are missing at rye high. having been to the aftmentioned uni's for undergrad, going to rye high for grad studies is quite depressing but i've made my choice so i have to stick it through.

i just feel sorry for those who goto rye high and never get a chance to experience real university academics and life.

walking around rye high now is like i'm walking around seneca or as previously mentioned a big US HS. not that there's anything wrong with rye high or their programs, for churning out designations and diplomas and niche programs, rye high like specialized colleges like sheridan etc.. is good. but dont for a sec think you can get an uni experience by going to rye high.. b/c you cant

[Immortal]

I'd like to add my piece to it. I graduated from Ryerson's ITM program in 2006. To tell you the truth, I hated ryerson for the school but not the program or teachers. The school's admin/enrollment/any system and the people at the help desk are absoultely garbage but the profs and what they teach u is pretty good.

Like anyone would tell you, it's what you make out of univ not what the univ is. The experience I had there is good and that I learned a lot not just in the academic sense. I joined clubs which gave me loads of experience and helped me make friends with the profs. I still email them to wish them a merry xmas and all that. They also helped me apply to graduate school here in England.

I am now currently doing my masters in Univ of London. I also got a grant to visit 3 countries and attend the conferences. Going to be in Switzerland in Feburary. All my friends that graduated with me already have jobs as well.

Oh as a comparison, my sister went to UoT so I have an idea of what they do there. They do have nicer campuses, facilities and profs but she basically went to school and went home... so it really depends on what you make outta it.

I don't know what is more stupid.. the utter and complete B$ you posted above or the fact that you are doing your graduate studies there.

It is amazing that someone would spend so much time and money to complete their graduate studies yet have such negative feedback and false impressions of the university..

What sort of "personal development" or "engagement" do you expect from a university undergrad anyways? It is almost like you people expect the professors and academic personnel to mold a dumba$$ into an Einstein or something.

[gilboman]

just because i goto rye high means i have to love and it and become a fanboy and not see it for what it is? so by your reasoning, if i drove a car from XXX automaker that was a lemon, i should still say its a wonderful car and great reliability just because i drive it or have invested in it? did/do you goto rye high or HS? even rye high shouldnt churn out such proposterous reasoning in their students.

it is not BS, rye high because of it not being a research or first tier university, dont have the same caliber profs as the research intensive UBC's, UT's etc... when you have high caliber profs, students who are there to engage and be interactive in their learning benefit from such profs.

no, i do not expect profs and personnel to mold undergrads, but atleast have profs and personnel who can because the profs have a passion/dedication to continually move up in their field and be concentrated in academics and their own growth as well as the students.

i feel sorry that you do not feel it is nescessary to go beyond just the hand outs to gain from university. as i've said, if you do not care about personal growth or learning beyond the course sylabus, rye high, like any college or HS will suit you just fine and there's nothing wrong with that.

but again, all the first tier universities are about molding/shaping the student and giving them access to profs who are passionate about their area of studies and where the school takes research and faculty improvement as a big priority.

if you talk with your profs, you will realize which ones are in it for the love of research and their own academic improvement and which are there to just kind of coast or what not. there are some very good ryerson profs that i've personally talked to, but a larger proportion of them fall in the latter group. whereas in places like UT, UBC, a lot of the profs are leaders in their fields and lead research. for general business programs, i suppose the chance to find such profs is more rare, but in any other fields, you will notice a big difference between profs.

below is just a very very general picture of how each university's faculty is in terms of academic recongnition by the number of canada reserach chairs the universities hold.

CRC Allocations, by Institution Rank Institution # of Chairholders

Does anyone know when the RSU's used bookstore opens up again? I'd like to dump my books off before September.

[samir805]

I am 4th year mechanical student in ryerson. I was on internship last year. Average fees for a year for mecheng. is somewhere from $5200-5700, lot less than uoft. However, the material covered in mecheng in uoft and ryerson is absolutly same. In addition, ryerson requires more elective courses than uoft. Finally, the students are very friendly and helpful in study. All my friends who didn't do intenship has a job as of today. Thats right, the job percentage for mech grad from ryerson is very high. Hence, I encorage everyone to consider Ryerson as a good option for Engineering programs in TORONTO.

[Zoul]

anyone heard anything about the RSU bursary for this year? I sent an email to RSU in september and they said the due date will be early november and the form will be out during late september, its mid october and I can't find it, anyone found it?

but the disadvantage is you have to suffer 4yrs in the dreadful prison that is ryerson. probably the most depressing university campus in canada:lol: good thing i only suffered my grad school there, if i went for undergrad there, i'll probably be messed up for life:lol:

goto ryerson if you cant afford or cant go elsewhere, otherwise stay away. It is true the stuff most unis teach is the same.. but that doesnt mean the education is the same. Just like you can teach fluid dynamics to 5year olds that you would in 3rd year uni, but that doesnt mean the 5year olds learned the same or had the same learning experience; and they definitely would be friendly to each other as well.

If you hate ryehigh soo much why are you going there? Is it because u cant afford to go to another university?
I dont know how other univ. are like but I must say ryehigh is a great univ. with a lot of helpful people. Yes the profs do suck but then again tell me one univ. where every prof is amazing....you gotta give a little and take a little man

The campus isn't that bad. Yeah, some parts resemble a high school but overall it's pretty decent and right in the downtown core. it's definitely not as depressing as York imo.

Hi, I'm in first yr science. I'm contemplating if I should transfer over to York for more selection of science programs. Because in here, they only offer 3 programs in science and that I believe they are of more general than other universities. However, it would be favorable with a general degree if I want to go to grad. school afterwards due to a slight easiness to score a high GPA in Ryerson (maybe??). But if I end up not going to grad. school, then I'd want my degree to be helpful to find a job and be successful at it. Basically I'm interested in all human bio and would love to find something specific to specialize in. So, what should i do? Stay or transfer?

Any bio students in senior years here could give me some ideas of what this program is like? Thanks.

In my program, in the third year there is always a trip in September, and if I recall correctly, 3 years ago it was Ireland, then Vancouver two years ago, last year was Italy/Germany, and this year it was Austria/Italy/Germany. Why the same place? Apparently, my profs found great places to drink at ;)

I'm in my final year of the Applied Chem & Bio program. It hasn't been too bad so far. Ryerson has a really good co-op program. You can earn some valuable work experience that'll probably help you when looking for a job later on. I'll probably do my masters at ryerson too.

I know that Urban Planning and Geographic Analysis both have their separate trips, so I can't comment about UP. But I'm pretty sure you have to be in the program to be eligible for the trips. As for where? The trips are optional but count as a % of your final grade in certain courses, and from what I've read, the trip itself is a course. A course that is 7-10 days long, a daily journal worth 80% and a pre-trip test thats worth 20%. I'm assuming its pretty much a free paid credit LOL!

I'm only in second year, but apparently there'll be a field trip to Detroit next semester. Third year, I'm not sure where to for me, but I know that there will be a 7-10 day fieldtrip, this year it was 9 days in Europe, all accommodations, round fare, etc. for $1370, which isn't bad I guess.

However, if you want to know about trips in general(open for all students), perhaps inquire about it, but I don't think it exists, or I haven't seen it. Though it'd be a nice way to go travel while meeting new or old Ryerson students...

how useful are minors ? do they show on your degree ?

[wilkens]

how useful are minors ? do they show on your degree ?

Minors at Ryerson do not show up on the degree itself but on your transcript.

In terms of usefullness I am still debating whether or not to complete one. I already have most of the courses but I still would have to take a few extra and I am not sure it is worth the time. But I guess if its something your interested in or could help you in your career go for it.

Its really only 6 courses and I don't think most employes would care that much but if you can fit it in your schedule over time why not do it?

[krypton]

Would you say that taking 6 random courses from the list is easier rather than taking 6 specific ones for a minor ? I looked through courses for different minors and all those courses include major projects and presentations. I think that's too much effort to put in in addition to your major.

[jopojo]

Good luck to all 1st year students entering University and those who have switched to Ryehigh from some other school :D

I'll be entering my final year in the nursing program. I'm minoring in Psychology as well. So feel free to ask questions regarding those 2 subjects. I'll try to help out as best as I can.

By the way, does anyone know if the new business building is open yet? I wanna check out the inside before school starts...

Hey! I'm a first year Nursing student at the George Brown site, and was just wondering if you know whether or not you have come across a case where you got an incorrect mark for a subject. In nutrition class, I got perfect on both assignments (35% of mark) and scored an 84% on the midterm (30% of mark). Mathematically, there is no way I failed the course, considering that 50% is passing. Who can I go to view my final exam and appeal to if indeed someone did make a mistake inputting my marks?

Hey! I'm a first year Nursing student at the George Brown site, and was just wondering if you know whether or not you have come across a case where you got an incorrect mark for a subject. In nutrition class, I got perfect on both assignments (35% of mark) and scored an 84% on the midterm (30% of mark). Mathematically, there is no way I failed the course, considering that 50% is passing. Who can I go to view my final exam and appeal to if indeed someone did make a mistake inputting my marks?

Ryerson has a policy in most courses where you fail the final exam you fail the course. Of course many teachers will pass you even if you failed the final but had strong marks during the semester. From what i can see, they probably made an error and you should go report it right away.

As far as saying hello goes.....i am currently in my 3rd year in the Human Resources Major so any questions feel free to ask. I am also part of the HRSA (Human Resources Student Association) Link: http://stw.ryerson.ca/~hrsa/ so if you have any questions regarding that dont hesitate to ask, thanks!

[smuncky]

Yeah. Dec 4th they deposited a certain amount into my ramss account. I went to fill out a withdrawal form during exam time...but when I went to pick up osap yesterday they said it was still in my account...so I'm assuming that they are going to mail it to me sometime this month since the holidays just passed =)

[solidxxx]

If your talking about photocopied versions of the textbooks, it's not legal to have them as it infringes on copyrights of the authors and you can be suspended or something if caught.
Otherwise, no clue what your referring to, unless it's books that are given by the course or offered by the Ryerson Book store

Hi everyone. Anyone a recent graduate or currently enrolled in the Graphic Communications Management? If so, what's it like?

[bonchii77]

Hey...im just wondering..for business at ryerson...which 2 maths are the most important for say retail management or BA...cause right now im in a bit of a dilemma trying to decide which two to take in high school

[DaVibe]

So McGuinty and Ontario donated 45 Million for a better library and "study space" at Sam The Record Man ...

We're getting a new li-bra-ry ... we're getting a new li-bra-ry ...
SING A LONG!

So ... when do we get it? :D
Or better yet, when will classes take place in the theatre at Yonge & Dundas? Probably in the fall?!?!

Oooh ... and Jack Astors is going to open up at Yonge & Dundas ... THAT should be interesting.
The new lunch spot :)

not getting a new library prob for another 2 years so its not like ill be around to use it...
But they definatly need some student / study space
Ryerson really lacks in that department

[nx6288]

does anyone know if the library gives out free earplugs?

i was visiting a friend in waterloo for the weekend and had to get some studying done and stacked up on free earplugs (the inner rfder)

[CanadaBoy]

I applied to the new Biomedical Engineering program @ Ryerson :o

Any thoughts ?

[DeimosBeros]

I didn't want to start a new thread for this so here goes...
I'm worried that I might not get into the graphics communication management program at Ryerson. I'm applying as a mature student since I've been away from university for 2 years now.
I didn't do spectacularly in my first semester in sciences but I passed my classes then left as I figured it wasn't what I wanted and have been working since, so I've been a little productive.
My average back in highschool, or best 6U courses(combination of eng,math,sciences, art) came out to low 80's. But the GCM program only accepts 100 students first year on grades only requirements. Having gone to the GCM intro seminar last week, the presenters said the porgram gets somewhere around 800 applicants per year.
The odds are against me I'd say as the kids are coming from all over.
I always had expectations of myself and feel like I'm falling behind with what my parents getting older and sooner or later wanting me out of the house and married and my girlfriend completing school next year and working in her field of study.
I feel like I'm in limbo right now with nothing to my name except 40G's as I go from job to job never satisfied. I want to be in school and I feel this program is the only worthwhile thing to shoot for. I'll be 22 later this year and if I get rejected from school, I have a vague idea of what to do next. Apprenticeship in the trades? Apply to Eva Phoenix's school of print? Upgrade courses and apply again next year?

[breezyo1]

anyone know the average you have to have coming out of high school to get into ryerson management, itm, or itm co-op?

[luual]

Can anyone tell me about the International Economics and Finance degree? I chose this program as my back up to Business Management and my guidance told me to search it up on the E info site. It says the cut off last year was 72-74 but I'm confused because it only accepts 70 students?

[jwei]

75-80 for Business Management

[breezyo1]

thanks. anyone know the average you need to have to get into itm co-op as this is what im really interested in. is the co-op option worth it? how is the program in general? thanks in advance.

[Piccolo]

I am thinking of going to Ryerson for a pt Degree program (I work full time so can only do online/evening courses). Good to know this thread has some useful info about the University.

lol heaven forbid!
You might of meantioned it already, but what program are you in? I'll be sticking with Accounting/Business/Finance courses. This is what I want to do, but I need to get more details from the school:
http://ce-online.ryerson.ca/ce_2007-2008/calendar/default.asp?section=program&sub=ptd&cert=BCOMME00&mode=program
I am going to try to transfer credits from my Accounting Certifticate from George Brown. If all goes as planned my 1st class at Ryerson will be in September. FA3 aka Financial Accounting II. If I can't get directly into the pt degree program I'll do complete their Accounting Certificate and apply those course to the degree program. It's ... a plan in progress. Still lots of little details to figure out. I have been looking at Humber College as well, but I really need a DEGREE if I am going to move forward with the CGA program.

[G to tha T]

how is the social life @ ryerson?

[calcuu]

Anyone in Graphics Communication Management? I'm still in grade 11 but I want to know what goes on in this program and how easy is it to get in. I saw the minimum average to get in was 70% but what would be a safe mark to get into this program?

[cell567]

Currently I am attending high school and am set to graduate this year. I applied to Ryerson's Business Management program and had a quick question. I am currently taking online school (grade 12 university course). I understand one university math, university English will be factored into the overall top 6 as they are prerequisites.

My question is, if my online school mark is better than a course I am taking during day school, (other than that one math or English which are obvious prerequisites), will it be factored towards my top 6 average? I emailed Ryerson and am yet to receive an answer so I thought I should post here.

Thanks and cheers!

EDIT: Can anyone also comment on the social life amongst Business Management students? Also, how much does a full years tuition, fees and books come to for first year students? The website was a bit confusing in terms of costs. Thanks for any helpful information guys!

[kylewilson86]

Has anyone here applied(seriously) to the film studies program. By serious I mean actually sending in a portfolio. If so, what are your marks and do you have history in the film profession.

Just a few questions to see where I stand.

I'll try to help, but I would really recommend going to the Ryerson open-house events, they provide you with alot of answers.

Which course are you taking online? Do you mean you are taking two of the same course, in school and online("online school mark is better than a course I am taking during day school")?

The Business is one of the most active departments in terms of social activities. I'm an Arts student, so I'm usually in Jorgenson Hall, and every few weeks we have activities like Paint Ball, Pub Nights, and....uhhh, some other random things, but not many department organized activites. I have marketing as a minor, so when I got to the Ryerson Business Building, it seems like almost every week there is some sort of activity and it seems like its always a party. However, I know that the business courses have a large number of students, so they aren't as tight as smaller departments in Arts, so getting to know people can be easy or hard depending on how much of a socialite you are ;)

As for tuition, it varies, it goes from 4-6 thousand per year, depending on what you are going into. It's pretty much $400-$550 per course, then you add the health plan, etc. Here's a good place to look at: http://www.ryerson.ca/essr/programfees/

Then there are textbooks. They cost quite a bit of change, and buying them is optional, even if the prof tells you to buy it. Obviously, I would buy it since it often helps alot, and you ca always refer back to it in the future(like Statistics for me:p), but look around for cheaper alternatives, go to the bookstore to write down the book's title, author, version and the cover, as well as the price. Then start surfing and browsing for prices, at online stores or used from past students.

hi everyone, first time posting on this thread

here's my dilemma...im a b-comm majoring in finance entering 4th year in fall, need some help in deciding which of the three finance courses i should choose. i dun need them to be necessary easy or slacking ones, i just want a straight-forward course with not so much trickiness. here's the list that i have to choose from, i have FIN810 and FIN812 in mind

REQUIRED GROUP 1: Three courses from the following:

FIN 710 Advanced Corporate Finance
FIN 711 Advanced Investment Management
FIN 801 Financial Risk Management
FIN 810 Corporate Financial Analysis
FIN 812 Advanced Personal Financial Planning
IBS 621 International Finance


any advice would be appreciated
thanks

[dimlight]

^bcmh: How do you like Ryerson's B.Comm. program? I got accepted into that program and I'm just wondering how you feel about it and could you tell me what it is like?

[Dark_Danny]

oh man, its between IT management or Business Management for me. what do i choose? any advice?

[tekki]

I was at ryerson last year for Business Management. Its a good program, though, business isn't for me. Im switching into biological sciences at ut.

[smolek]

does anyone have any suggestions for easy upper level electives?

[spidy06]

Easy upper electives:

GEO 702
HST 701
CHST 504 (Online course)
SOC 603
SOC 505

[killoverme]

Easy upper electives:

GEO 702
HST 701
CHST 504 (Online course)
SOC 603
SOC 505

geo 702 was okay, wasnt super easy (as in automatic A) but you could get a B, just go to class, i was doing night class though.


GEO 820 was incredible easy, i almost dropped it listening about what the course was about, but after the assignment/test, the teacher was an INCREDBILY easy marker. if you wrote a word, anything she would give partial marks on the test. so that was good. ended up with an A- and skipped most classes and didnt even open the text book (didn't buy it either)=/

I'm also a 4th year finance student and I've taken some of those courses already.

FIN 801 and FIN 812 are the hardest out of that group from what I've heard.

FIN 711 is a joke with Blinder. If you want a easy A+, take that class. From what I've heard, FIN 810 is all cases and no midterms/finals so you need to make sure that you have good group partners. And its offered in winter. FIN 710 and IBS 621 are not hard and are relatively straight forward. You get unlimited amount of handwritten cheatsheets in both those classes with Sergiy. I'm taking FIN 710 this fall.

Make sure you get a decent prof. It matters a lot if you have a good prof.

Hope that helped.

[Joker12]

Can anyone give me some insight on "direct transfer" students? of if anyone is a DF student can they give me their overall transitional experience from college life into university? The small hand-ons classrooms vs. the huge lecture halls? etc etc.

If anyone has the chance to take this course, do it.
I took it and man it was EASY.
She made her own notes, put them online and you could print them out.
Then take them to class and highlight what she says will be important to know (ie, exam).
The topic is also interesting.
One thing this class requires though is attendance.

[calcuu]

Anyone in GCM? If so, any general tips on what I should expect as I want to get into this program next year when I graduate HS. Also, is it turning into a Science degree? I heard it from someone. Also, what's a "safe" average to get accepted. If anyone answers I would be soooo happy :D

I'm taking it now with Jen Hubbard, it's interesting but heading into a midterm, I'm really confused in what to study(there is alot of notes that I took and she never really emphasized on anything). Have to read the text and go to seminars though.

I was wondering, how is the criminal justice program at ryerson?
Right now im a 2nd year student, and i want to switch into this program. Also, how hard is it to get in?

GCM is about print. You spend your time learning how the ink goes onto the paper and how to successfully make the ink go onto the paper. It isn't a science degree but they make you learn a lot about how ink, paper, air, etc affects a print ~ BORING! If you are a design, art type of person and think this is a graphic design course look else where. If you are passionate about learning how to put ink on paper it is a great program! GCM isn't hard to get into, about a 60-70% should be fine, but you just have to pass the interview and written paper (if that still exists). Oh BTW the industry definitely isn't growing for that field.

This is pretty much how I feel too, great location, can find anything you want within a few minutes walk/drive/subway, however i travel an hour and a half, which is the only negative

gpa is "up" you dont see the mark you get for your course yet but you see your term gpa

Is that the cGPA of this winter term only or cGPA of the entire year?

I see the same GPA for winter 09 as fall 08.

Is it in the "Term Statistics - Winter 2009 " ?

Thanks.

does anyone have a "in progress" grade addition?
are those the liberals?

[kasianman]

I have 10.000 units as "In progress units"

[Shimso]

Is it in the "Term Statistics - Winter 2009 " ?

Thanks.

RAMSS -> Grades/Standings -> Winter 2009

I have 0 in progress units; 10.000 for grades towards GPA.

Cumulative GPA should be your total grade points with the corresponding GPA underneath; the middle column should be your total grade points and GPA for winter 09.


Although the fact that you guys have it showing 10 in progress units might be the reason for the confusion, I don't know why its like that.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

I haven't had any discrepancies with the GPA value they put out on RAMSS early. Should be fine if the number of courses used towards your CGPA matches what you've taken.

[Shimso]

Its not fake. I don't know anyone who has had it change on them (although in rare instances it could be subject to change).
As far as I know the main reason its like this is because they wait to check everyone has paid their fees, and cover other administrative issues

Just take a look at the online Course Calendar on the Rye site, then choose accordingly to what you are interested in. Might as well take a look at the minors as well in case you have an interest in one of those.

[Skip2MyLou]

whats the gpa range for deans list?

[man_alone]

whats the gpa range for deans list?

According to the Ryerson's student guide:
"Each Dean will establish a GPA requirement for their Faculty. While this GPA must be a minimum of 3.5 GPA for the academic year, a Dean may establish a GPA requirement that is higher than 3.5."

[SoGood]

I think I remember the dean giving a speech saying the cutoff for admissions was 83, so maybe you need to wait a bit longer. Its been a while since I applied so I forget the entire process and when what should happen.

damn. 83 as cutoff now.
thats a drastic boost from the 74 minimum about 5yrs ago

my cgpa went up a full grade point this semester :)

[Skip2MyLou]

damn i swear one of my marks are wrong.
i calculated it and the only way i couldve gotten a B+ in mkt100 was if i got less than a 63% on the final, which is highly unlikely. i should at least have an A- in that course, but they gave me a B+. great.

I kind of want to check my final exam as well. Does anyone know if I can do that? I mean do I just set up appointment with the professor and check it with him, or I have to go through all that procedure for appealing a grade? Has anyone done something like that before?

[OpportunityChaos]

congrats to everyone that managed to improve their CGPA.

all i gotta say is that i'm satisfied going into my final year with a 3.xx CGPA. my entire goal this semester was to not fall to a 2.xx CGPA and i met my goal.

[Raptors4Life]

Usually in cases where I want to know what my final exam mark is... just email the professor and set up an appointment. They'll either email you the mark or you have to go in person....

[heartsndanger]

i believe the prof can't email you the mark, so you'd have to set up an appointment to see how you did.

yea same thing, i should have gotten a A in mkt100, but got a A-, when all I needed was a 73% to get that A, and I am pretty sure I did better then that, is it possible to curved the marks down

I doubt it. no prof in ryerson will mail you marks. because they always treat you "good" and "respect" you.

[Shimso]

i believe the prof can't email you the mark, so you'd have to set up an appointment to see how you did.

Its a lot better than having to pay $17 to see an exam (IIRC that's what UofT does).

[blazing_royale]

I feel your pain, especially now when I don't have my GO monthly transit pass anymore. Well, maybe I shouldn't be too concerned about not getting A+ instead of A.

[nx6288]

my prof emailed me my mark for the final exam 2 days after i did it...i don't know what you do if you want to see and discuss your exam with your prof though

[heartsndanger]

Its a lot better than having to pay $17 to see an exam (IIRC that's what UofT does).

oh wow.

[Raptors4Life]

Yeah it varies. Some profs will actually post your final exam and final mark through blackboard. Doesn't hurt to ask them via email either... now that final marks are posted.

[omchow]

For some of my classes the prof posts what we got on the final exam and our final grade before its released on RAMSS.

[highvelocity]

A+ in ECN104
me happy. :D

[kasianman]

I just wish that Ryerson will post up % as well instead of just GPA.

Is there any way that we can find out the % for each of our courses?

[XxXSnake23XxX]

you can convert each GPA to a % using the converson on the ryerson website, but if you want exact, i would think you have to contact your profs?

[nx6288]

I just wish that Ryerson will post up % as well instead of just GPA.

all you do is email the prof what your mark was on the final exam and you should have your marks for your quizzes/assignments/midterms and just add it up....not hard

cant u just ask ur prof what you got on ur final and then calculate your % yourself?

unless if its some stats class that has an assignment every week, then it's pretty easy to calculate your % urself.

[kasianman]

Thanks guys. I will ask the professors. :)

hi, why does Ryerson Business suck so much?

3 years of this useless program, I have never met so much washed up, useless, lazy pple who call themselves professors...

for the most part:

classes are either too easy or too hard
the amount of pointless stuff being tested on is quite ridiculous
half the profs dont even "teach"
the marks system is COMPLETE BS. profs are completely bias
"lets change the prerequisites for 3rd/4th year courses out of nowhere and screw students who are almost graduating"
profs and supposed "chairs" of departments DO NOT CHECK OR RESPOND TO COUNTLESS EMAILS

That's kind of sad because all of my professors are very responsive and while not all are best at teaching, there is always another professors class you can attend who will be satisfactory or excellent. Although, I think I have had the choice between two or more professors because I am in first year Engineering. Hope it doesn't get worst as I move into upper years.

[rooney11]

has anyone been able to email their prof and get a reply? still waiting from 3 different profs/ta, and its been a few days

In my experience, we've always had an exam week following the last day of courses in regards to 14 week summer courses. They should release an exam schedule near the end of your course.

[Mystix]

The last day should be the exam date. You can check the outline, all mine indicate that my last day is an exam

no separate weeks, not to my knowledge. last day is exam day for the courses since they're run by the chang school and not ryerson regular session.

On My Condition it says 74 avg i got accepted with like a 71.33 average

but it seems i m not gonna be able to get 74 avg on the dot
i m gonna end up with like 72.5

do you think they will revoke my offer ??

Or does it depend on how much ppl want to come to ryerson or that program the competition ?


but i already accepted myoffer for Mechanical Engineering if i call them do you think there will be possibility of me switching up to that one

or should i just keep Mechanical Engineering

sorry about all the question i m a lil stressed just wondering if Undeclared has less Competition which will increase my chances or that dont matter ?

Oh yeah b/w I have met all their required marks like

you know how its says u need over 70 in fucntions
i have met all of that

its just my overall is about 1.5 % off

[Fluid]

I had the same condition as you to get 74%, few days before final marks came out our school had a day when we could go around and get our final marks from teachers. I found my avg and was very worried, so I walked into guidance, and the head guy there looked at me and said well dont worry, and changed a few marks and got me the 74% I needed.

[Waruna]

Are u serious

how much below were you really on the average i jus need like 6 more marks if i can get a boost 1 mark on the all the subjects i m good

[sukidasuika]

Hi I'm a student from a different univeristy. Some questions:
- Is it too late to apply to transfer? (I think so)
- Does the Food + Nutrition program have a competitive entrance average?
- Should I take classes (that are part of the curriculum) at the Chang School so I'm not so behind when I apply the next year?
^ The problem with this is that I'm taking courses without guarantee that I'm in the program

Thanks in advance- I really need the advice. Oh btw so far I only have 7.5 credits (technically a 2nd year still)

[frankie123]

dude i accepted business management and the condition is 77 and i have a 82 right now but i think i have a big chance of screwing my exams and one the six isps up...... can someone lemme know what wud they actually do if ur like 1 or 2% off the condition's requirement?

[Waruna]

Frankie i want to know the same thing

but i think it depends on ur course and how much competition there is

is ur course full right now if there like waiting list for it then u can be unlucky but if crouse is not full and there not much people waiting ur good i guess unless they be bitches bout it

[frankie123]

^^^^
fk i kno some kids at my skoo r on the waiting list for the same program fking **** so i gotta work my ass off now to keep my avg up fk my life

dude make you sure you are above the conditional avg..or you're F@#ked, basically..because Im in the program and they drop people like flies based on competition..and it is really really high..so make sure you are equal to the conditional offer or higher..

I don't know if this is the correct thread to ask, but have you guys/girls noticed how much the union charges you for their AMC tickets? It is stated as 7.61 for a ticket... I bought 2 today and it came out to $18.50... Altho the sum should of been 17.20 with tax included. Is there some hidden charges or something because I see that it says "+Admission tax" under their pricing, so I didn't want to complain and such.

Thanks!

Student centre as the student union/metropass place right? If so, I bought it there and on the wall it states that it is 7.61 per ticket... So if the calculation is right, that cashier is scamming cash?

Chances are the cashier wasn't scamming cash, remember if he rings it up on his till it'll be in his log at the end of the day and he'll have to make up for it anyway.
So in the end the cashier wouldn't really benefit at all.
It's much more likely that the guy accidentally hit the Cineplex button instead of the AMC which are slightly more expensive.

If you are screwing up your exams in high school, that is a problem. Either way if you get in or not, you just have to try your best if you really want it.
You have a 5 Percent mark above your condition. They will take it away even if you are 1 percent below it. Work hard and hang in there. Good luck.

What I have noticed about students entering first year, the majority who just make the cutoff tend to struggle first year and go on probation or are just have a clear status.

Am I the only one here who strongly believes you do something whereby you are good at and not just running around and struggling just to survive?

just wondering how much of trouble i m in i m gnna be like 1.5% or a lil less below my condition

but i have all the other condition met for the individual subjects

and my course is still open to apply for , its not closed which means the competition on this is low

"If your average comes in below that (but above 70%), there is a chance that your admission could be cancelled -- it will depend on competition. "

this was said by one of the Ryerson people i emailed

My course is Mechanical Eng between
I applied for summer school i didnt get anything back such a confirm letter that they have got my application or nothing like that

should i apply again?

there are spring/summer courses at ryerson. the proper course code has a 'C' before it, for 'chang' school (ie: CPSY102)
the best bet to figure out which ones are available (if they're online, on campus, which days, what time, etc), go to their website. (http://ce-online.ryerson.ca/ce_2009-2010/calendar/default.asp?id=5&section=search)

My advice if you were in Computer Science or planning to get into Computer Science, ENJOY the hell out of your elective courses... if you're living on residence you'll have a great time regardless so do not worry.

Now with that said, don't take it the wrong way, if you can spend your undergraduate years working with guys all the time by all means, right? :D

thats when classes actually come out, is there anytime we can do course intentions before?

[DAdvocate]

I'm wondering how long it could take to get an admission for someone who applied for part-time direct entry. It has said under review for the longest time and still says it now.

I applied for full-time originally but changed it to pt and submitted the supplementary app long after changing to pt, but on the app status site I see the supplementary form in the first one I canceled not sure if that means anything.

[Computer500]

thats when classes actually come out, is there anytime we can do course intentions before?

If you are a year 2, 3, 4 student, course intentions were done long ago back in March 2009. I don't think you can do anything until those dates in Aug.

If you are a new student, you don't need to worry. Just pay your tuition fee and follow instructions in your acceptance package.

If you want more accurate answers, go to Ryerson or give them a call.

What program did you apply to?
The only direct entry part time programs I know of are: Business Management Information Technology Management and Early Childhood Education...

When did you change it on OUAC?
Business Management takes longer. ITM quite fast with acceptance. When you change it, you should expect it to take an additional 2-3 weeks from my opinion. Call Ryerson and ask if you need to submit another supplementary form...

I don't think you can set it up until sometime in August, I tried, no luck - and on this page I saw you can only activate it in August.

[staka]

I got an offer of admission for ITM (with summer school extension).. but then it got removed and moved to waiting list...

Still going to summer school, and marks are pretty high compared to what I sent them as my final top 6 marks. So I'll send them.. update them with my final top 6 marks.

Does anyone know how likely you're going to be in from being listed on the waiting list? Less chances now, probably... I bet the spaces won't become available in July...

I just finished my first year in the business: marketing program at George Brown but i did not enjoy it so I have been contemplating going to Ryerson.

hopefully you have done this already
i'm not sure if theres a deadline. in past years i always bring it in late june/early july and get the money in my account in late august..i tihnk there is a penalty if you don't bring it in on time...i'm not sure when that is though

also, you gotta wait in one line...tell them what you want them to do and they'll charge you $15 as a 'processing' fee

and then you go to the other line to hand in the form.
hopefully it will take you less than an hr

avoid taking itm100, itm200, cmn124
replace qms204 with business qms

and take only 1 liberal, ask ppl wat business coruses u have to take

I think you have some of them right.. I believe itm100 is equivalent to itm102(business management course, so you can take that) and cmn124 is equivalent to cmn279 so you can take that too. Itm200 is a programming course I think (So you don't need it if you are transferring program).

does ryerson choose our time slots for the required courses? or do we get to choose?:confused:

does ryerson choose our time slots for the required courses? or do we get to choose?:confused:

by default ryerson will have a pre made schedule for you and depending on availability you can swap your classes for different times, days and profs near the end of August. When you log on to RAMSS click on enrollment appointments near the right side so you know when you can do that ... it depends for which yr you are going into.

Hey Guys,

My friend has been boasting about how he got his acceptance email around July 11th, and he applied to Computer Science program. I applied to IT Management, and am still waiting for the email. Is there a deadline for them to send an email, or have they just not gotten around to me yet? Does anyone know the LATEST date you get a response? And what if you don't get a response at all???

Sorry lots of questions :P

Just applied to the ITM program 2 days ago and still need to send in my high school transcript. Wanted the Business Management going into the Accounting stream but registration was closed. Anyone applied recently? And will I still have a chance of acceptance before September? And also can I switch programs after the 1st year? ....

[hitman09]

I am in the same situation as you; I also want to change into business management. I asked Ryerson and they told me I can. Good thing about ITM is that all the courses can be substituted into business management after 1st year, except I think the BUS course. So try to maintain a 3.0 GPA and you will be good to transfer. Good Luck.

[aw305]

I'm first year student in retail management (anyone else here doing this program?) and i have recently just acitvated my RAMS acc and looked at my preassigned courses is it normal to have 8 courses in one term ? ... i'm really confused and I had a summer school extension and going in tuesday to hand in my marks but i havent received any letters concerning august 18th for classes and etc ... i hope my offer hasnt been revoked but my biggest concern is my courses any help would be nice, Thanks.

if IT management has a waiting list then you may wanna consider applying for retail management, if you plan to just switch over to business.

If you couldn't get into the main program from high school, getting a 3.0 maybe hard for you. Just a heads up!

I heard it is smart to have your timetable "set up" to what you might want it to look like in terms of timing. What i dont understand is HOW we can do that if we dont know which classes start at what time. Doesnt this mean we will have to arrange our schedule from scratch on enrollment day?

After 3 years, staying up til 5:30 in the morning tinkering my schedule hasn't been that bad :P I've always gotten all the classes I want.

Best thing to do is to plan out everything you want ahead of time(I planned out every course I wanted in 1st year and printed it out). Of course, remember to have at least 2-3 extra upper liberals and professionally related courses in case they get full or in case you lose interest :)

The tuition fees are due on Sept 11, but my OSAP account said that the fundings are gonna be release after Sept 8, so am I gonna make it? Like can I make Ryerson's deadline?

And about the "Confirmation of Enrolment form", do we go to our financial aid office on the first day of school and complete the form, then they will release our funding right away? Or they need a few business days something like that?

How do they release our fundings? Do they directly put the money to our bank account or they give us a cheque/cash or they first apply it to RAMSS for our balance...etc? How does this whole thing works? Cuz me & many of my friends are so confused!

What my fd told me that about what he did last year for the confirmation of enrollment form thing...... he said requested it during the summer and they mailed it to him.....and he paid like 10$ for it...something like that.
Is that true?Isn't the form are avalible in the financial aid office?You can guys mail it to us?Like when?After or before school starts?

[TechRock]

-no you will not make ryerson's deadline, it takes a week or a week and a half for them to release the funds
-OSAP will ask if you want to put all the money into ryerson or all the money into ur bank account or 60% ryerson and 40% bank account
-the school will do the confirmation of enrollment for you, u dont need to worry about that
- you can just pay off all ur tuition with credit card and them wait for osap or you will need to ask parents or your friends to cover tuition and pay them back when u get the money from osap

So you said the school will do the confirmation enrollment form for us, so do we just have to go to the financial office & sign the form/pick up the loan papers?

just wondering how is roy ng and vasiliois bardis any reviews on these teachers??

Roy Ng seems like a new teacher, but if hes teaching ITM do not worry about it, its a relatively simple class, where professor bias will not play a major role in your mark or learning.

vasiliois bardis seems like a spelling error, but also a new prof to ryerson


my question is do we get to choose any courses in the first semester or will they all be given to us?? this is for business management?

most of the courses are given to you. However the times and profs are up to you. Look at bus100 or acc100, there are 4 - 6 different sections with different profs and different times. This allows you to choose a schedule with a mix of taking what your friends are taking, along with easy profs, and times that work for you

my ramss is saying that i dropped 2 of my classes so i only have 3/5 classes im supposed to have. wtf? anyone know why this is?

sometimes you sign up under intentions and the classes end up not being offered because not enough people took it. The other reason is if 2 or more classes you chose cannot fit within your current schedule due to scheduling conflicts.

it just means that you have 2 seperate sections to one class. i.e. one is 2 hr lecture and 1hr is a lab.
in ur case its 2hrs with some dumb student who signed up to be a TA and will be all professional and lie to you, and 1 hr with a prof who will tell you how great ryerson is

It depends on your program I believe. Commerce Students got their schedules yesterday or today. Engineering got theirs earlier this week I believe. I don't know what program you are in, but I am sure on Monday or Tuesday it will come.

Schedules are harder to make compared to first year last year :(

[OwedALife]

Yeah, but why would you? It will bring down your GPA.

[FilleDeJanvier]

Roy Ng seems like a new teacher, but if hes teaching ITM do not worry about it, its a relatively simple class, where professor bias will not play a major role in your mark or learning.

vasiliois bardis seems like a spelling error, but also a new prof to ryerson




most of the courses are given to you. However the times and profs are up to you. Look at bus100 or acc100, there are 4 - 6 different sections with different profs and different times. This allows you to choose a schedule with a mix of taking what your friends are taking, along with easy profs, and times that work for you



sometimes you sign up under intentions and the classes end up not being offered because not enough people took it. The other reason is if 2 or more classes you chose cannot fit within your current schedule due to scheduling conflicts.



GAWD IM AMAZING...

yes but i checked the shopping cart search thing and the classes that i searched WERE available and they were not conflicting with any of my other classes?

[OwedALife]

Yeah, but why would you? It will bring down your GPA.

Cause Im still missing a few courses and I dont intend to slack off.

You are CLOSE to being Amazing, Bardis is not new to Ryerson. He has been there for 3-4 years. Ng was at Ryerson last year as well.

Acc 100/ACC 110 you have to decide which accounting is right for you. ACC 110 is more advanced designed for Finance/Accounting majors, while ACC 100 is basic not designed for a specialization in Finance or Accounting.

Profs. for ACC. Cheryl Dyson or Else Grech.
Profs. for ECN. Eric Kam
Profs. for ITM. Farid Sharzi

[CatDog]

hey, undergrad student here.

I was looking under RAMSS, for information about scholarships... couldnt find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or give me an idea when Ryerson usually tells applicants?

I read the mass email they sent out, didnt have any specific dates in it, thanks guys.

Looks like theres a ton of us from RFD at Ryerson, hopefully Ill meet some of you next year!

[samhad]

Cause Im still missing a few courses and I dont intend to slack off.

Good Luck. Just remember GPA is more important than just catching up on credits. Some can only do one of them, not many can do both.

Last year I was going into first year and don't worry if you received a letter in the mail that is awarding you a scholarship you will get it. It will be credited in your account during the last week before school starts. So on the first day of school you can log on rams and see it with a - whatever amount.

Congrats and Enjoy!

[heartsndanger]

its probably due to the class being cancelled or it is full. your gonna have to re-enroll in that during your enrollment period.

Or it could be because the only available section for that class conflicts with a mandatory class' section (that's happened to me a couple of times before). I guess you're just gonna have to pick another class.

[whoa-albert]

it just means that you have 2 seperate sections to one class. i.e. one is 2 hr lecture and 1hr is a lab.
in ur case its 2hrs with some dumb student who signed up to be a TA and will be all professional and lie to you, and 1 hr with a prof who will tell you how great ryerson is

I think it's the other way around. The professor will talk for 2 hours and that 1 hour is with your TA and your assigned group.

how'd you fix that problem?
aren't all sections similar if theyre all the same course code?

Fluid is right in this case, well in regards to BUS100. Whoa Albert is correct in terms of how the majority of Liberals are set up. And Fluid is dead on about BUS100, what a terrible/lazy class it was.

Mastering chemistry. You do your homework online (and don't you dare cheat). Basically you don't have to show up anywhere on Sat at 9, as long as you complete the problem set by the deadline set by your professor.

[hitman09]

Ok I am taking ITM and I just wanted to know, how much courses are required of me to take per semester.

I think Ryerson Is very lazy. They want the students to search for all the answers whereas other universities send emails and letters explaining everything.

[Shimso]

Your required courses for all 8 semesters are on page 583 of the calendar:
http://www.ryerson.ca/calendar/2009-2010/PDF/2009-2010_business.pdf






And holy **** for once I didn't get bent over in the schedule Ryerson gave me :D Last semester I would have had 11 straight hours of classes followed by one day with a 9 hours break had I stuck with what they gave me.
This time, I actually get Fridays off!! With any luck I won't have to panic come Aug 26th morning.

[smolek]

Anyone else recieving this message when trying to add a class (this has been happening to me since the original intentions in like march):

``Unable to find Tuition Calculation Control record for this term. (14811,54)

Record has not been set up in Tuition Calculation Controls page for this term.``

I always get that message even though my classes did switch anyways in March. Just press Ok and continue. Right now you cant switch any classes regardless, gotta wait til aug. 28, well for me anyways.

Is there any date that we can change the schedules around because I am going for Business Management and the reviews on my teachers are bad. I want to change the time of my classes and teachers, so is that possible?

I was pissed at my timetable schedule when I first saw it, if I tried to switch for better profs my table would be all over the place, if I get rid of LAW122 and do it online, I have both Wednesday and Fridays off, which is okay but would prefer Monday off, at least I be motivated to get some work done.

[smolek]

How the hell do all you people have all these days off?

For ECN 104 i got Eric Kam for my prof. Has anyone had Amy Peng as their prof?
I might switch Kam for her since I hate morning classes...
Same thing for QMS 102. I got Don Tavares and am thinking to switch to Clare Chua-Chow. Anyone have either 4 of these profs and can give insight on this?

How to swap classes (E.g. change from Friday to Monday)?

And what is this dropped courses? Says I have a few courses dropped but none that applies to the one through the e-mail posted above?

I think Ryerson Is very lazy. They want the students to search for all the answers whereas other universities send emails and letters explaining everything.

Ryerson is not lazy. They do just enough for you to be fine. It is university you are on your own now. They even sent an e-mail to your Ryerson account telling you about where you can find the link to the academic calendar for your courses. The point of university is to be aware of things and find it on your own. If you can't find the 5 or 6 simple courses you are suppose to take each semester first year, then how are you suppose to find a job on your own. Do your own homework. Call the school, look on the website, call a friend.

How do I switch classes and is there a specific date?

I want to switch Roy NG – ITM 102 for

Also how do you find out what time a teacher is teaching?

[icemasta]

Was wondering which I should take:
ACC 100 Introductory Financial Accounting
ACC 110¶‡* Financial Accounting

if I havent done accounting before, but not sure if I'd want to major in it yet.

Anyone have any comments on these profs:
David Schlanger , Thomas Barbiero , Raymond Moss , Nirmal Gupta

[jattunit]

Don't take introduction unless you never took it in highschool....I guess it teaches you about accounting if you have never taken accounting in high school

Do a search for that in RAMSS. Type in ITM in the first text box and 102 in the second text book and click search. It should populate the professors and the times they are teaching. You can switch into one if its available and during the enrollment date ... which is sometime near the end of August.

[omchow]

GET KAM AND TAVARES, no questions asked.

I agree Kam is a good professor, had him for micro and he makes sure you understand the concepts as opposed to rushing to complete every chapter listed in the course outline.

He repeats the concepts over and over again so you have time to write it down, his midterm and final may have some questions with a twist but overall very good hands down.

[jattunit]

K so on the 18 to change the time of a course(And teacher) we have to go on RAMSS and click the swap button?

[airworks]

Ok, can you guys give me your opinion on these instructors whether they are good and should I switch to a different prof?

My schedule is brutal with 8AM classes and 4 hour breaks in between classes. Anyone know why some courses have a 2 hour lecture and 1 hour lecture, but another same course has 3 hours straight?

Looks really good, post your timetable with your profs, will allow us to give you any advice/etc, If I were you I would try changing your Bus100 Class to any sections between 251-321 (these sections have BUS100 on tuesday 1-2 and wednesday 2-4, saves you 3 hours combined compared to your current table, they all full at the moment, but add them to your shopping cart, and hopefully when one of them has a green circle, you will be able to swap the two classes)

Hopefully, your liberal (elective) wont screw your timetable too much. PM if you need help or have any questions, I am currently going into 2nd year Business Mgmt @ Ryerson.

You get 10 minutes in between classes.

e.g. if a course is a 2PM course, the course will actually start at 2:10 to allow everyone to settle and get to class.



I think monday mornings I have 10 minutes to make it from the Engineering bldg to the Business bldg, that could suck...

Sorry, he/she is correct you need to add another business class, assuming either ACC100 or ACC110 and an elective, so in total you should have 6 classes.

eco, a 1 hour class, from my experience this is normally to take up weekly questions, which most of time finish early anyways. And the majority of the classes start 10 minutes later, to allow these students to make it between their classes.

correct...you have the first 10 mins of class to make it there. so if your class is at 9am. the class will start at 9:10. And some teachers let you out a few minutes before class is done. you have plenty of time to get across campus. well at least when its not snowing out there.

he has a heavy Chinese accent so you mnght laugh at first. i did. but after a while is all good. He is SUCH a good prof. He is very passionate about math. He also does wonders in during his office hours. If you even need a little "boost" in your mark he will see what he can do. Such a chill guy. I wish i get im again in the coming years.

For chem.. I had him overseeing our LABS for chem II and he is an alright guy. I dont know about his teaching, but he seemed like he was laid back. I didn't see very much of him.

Hey everyone, well I’m starting Ryerson Business Management this September and I’m having a hard time deciding between which professors I should take. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ITM102
It is between Christine Brown, Tony Van Krieken and Farid Shirazi. Mr. Shirazi has really good reviews on Ratemyprofessor.com but I read he has a heavy accent and uses pure abbreviations on his notes? ITM is not my thing so is his accent really heavy that I wouldn’t understand him a lot of the time? Plus who has the easier course outline?

QMS102
It is between Don Tavares and Beth Hamilton. I read that Don Tavares is really good but is super attentive to detail and will take away marks whereas Ms. Hamilton would be more lenient. Do any of you know if he tends to bell curve up and has easier course outlines?

ECN104
I’m having trouble narrowing down any teachers for this subject in particular.
The teachers that I can work into my timetable are Robert (Eric) Wright, Eric Kam, Thomas Barbiero, Paul Missios and Amy (Chen) Peng. I read that Mr. Kam is the most entertaining but the hardest. I also read that Mr. Wright is the easiest and practically gives away 20% of the course mark through assignments but is disorganized and doesn’t use overhead notes, etc. Do any of you know which professor’s exams are more theory instead of calculations? I’m leaning towards Mr. Kam but I read his exams are killers and are mostly calculations and graphs while Mr. Wright’s exams are almost all about theory (I would prefer a course that used the minimum amount of graphing and math as possible). So overall, does anyone know how easy/mathy are the economic teachers I listed above are and may someone possibly write out each teacher’s course outlines? Like, for example, Mr. Kam – 40% Mid term exam/60% final exam, gives 5% bonus and rarely bell curves.

Finally, my liberal elective class begins at the main campus right when one of my class at the Ted Rogers Building ends, will I be able to make it in time to the main campus during the intermission?

Thanks!

If your going to try and get by University by picking the easiest prof you will most likely fail. Profs play a little part in your education since everyone in university teach themselves the course. As long as your read the material and attend class the accent of a prof will not make you not get that A.

[Hsurreality]

Can anyone comment on my schedule? I am in first year engineering.

I like how I have Mondays off but 8 hrs of lecture on tuesday might be too much? Also how are the profs?

i agree with this. I had classes where a majority of students complained about the prof and the mark they were getting, but i took time to actually understand the material and ended up with an A. I choose classes based on how well they fit into my schedule rather than how easy the profs would be.

on my schedule...every 2 weeks i'll have this class from 8am-11pm friday (on my weekly schedule it is red instead of green). I want to take intro to astronomy but one of the classes is from 10-11am friday which mean they overlap. What should i do?

According to the ryerson website, intro to astronomy is not available to engineering students. Is this true?

There's an astronomy class on monday as well (with a 1 hr tuesday tutorial), try that instead.

Remember to unselect the checkbox on the search page that says something like "open classes only".

Good luck getting astronomy, though, because its a very popular course and is hard to get into.

Yup. I think if you really want to you can take it, but it won't count as a course towards your degree, so it'd be pointless.

[Shimso]

can anyone answer this for me?

I haven't had Chau, but I've had Tavares. From what I've heard, Chau teaches better, but she also seems to rub people the wrong way. Tavares is a nice guy, but its frustrating because he spends way too much time repeating simple things and answering the dumb questions, and then once I went to QMS202, it turns out we weren't taught a few things that my 202 prof said we should know...

thx but too bad the monday one conflicts with my schedule too :(. And i dun feel like going to school on monday :P. I still have some questions.

i know enrollment starts at 4:30 am, and you said astonomy is popular do you think i will be guaranteed a spot still if i if i enroll in between 4:30-4:35?

also if i choose astronomy which conflicts with my current schedule, can i enroll in astronomy first then rearrange my schedule afterwards so that it won't conflict?

1) Tons of people log on at 4:30. From my experience, its going to take more time than 5 minutes (last 2 semesters I had changed 11 out of the 12 courses I was assigned :D but it took me a few days of just staring at RAMSS to get what I wanted). One time the server had major issues and I couldn't get on until 11am while others were able to get in right away. Its pretty much luck.

2) I'm quite sure you need to make the changes to accommodate astronomy before you can add it.

[OwedALife]

When do they release the details of the chang courses at night. I find they have better instructors.

noone is guaranteed a spot in any class, as the system usually crashes for some, works for others and most pple r already awake at 4:30 so u dont have any advantage. Like the above poster said its all luck

Secondly, astronomy is popular, WHY IS THIS?

If I did not get what I want on Aug 18 because that class don't have any space more, what can I do if I really want that class?
Do I have to just stare at RAMSS(like refreshing the page over & over again) to see if anyone drops out, and enroll into that class at that moment? Cuz I really want to get Astronomy, and its really popular!!! I want the MON&Tue time slot, and there's only 36 spots left.
If my computer's ram is better, would it help on Aug 18?

Yeah I'm in that class :D


Funny thing is, last year everyone said POL128 would be easy, and even though I did all the readings and was interested in the course it was my worst mark of the year :lol:

I need something too offset ACC414, FIN300 and LAW122, so this better be a decent course!

[Shimso]

My.ryerson -> RAMSS -> Enroll -> Fall 2009 ->
From there you have Add; Drop; Swap. (go there now to familiarize yourself a bit with the site)

Add = to add a course (such as a liberal you wanna add) as long as you meet the prerequisites (if any)
Drop = to drop a course
Swap = to switch one course for another. HOWEVER, any error (such as a schedule conflict that would result from a change, or if you try to say swap ACC100 for ECN100 despite already having a ECN100 in your timetable) will not let the change go through.
You select the course you want to swap, and then enter its course number or choose from your shopping cart.


For reference, the course number for this course that I searched for is 10362
http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3527/picture6t.jpg

Also, the shopping cart is where you can basically have courses you want to add quickly on tap so you can add them quicker rather than typing a number. Someone on RAMSS (I can't remember where) you can use the shopping cart to see if a course you want has opened, closed, etc.


****, I have pol128 next semester.



I think it depends on your prof. For me, I had Saloojee. Interesting course (although some parts were kinda odd, he didn't use blackboard, etc). We ended up watching Wag the Dog, Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda, a movie about the FLQ crisis, a Chaplin movie and something else. The midterm messed me up though. Despite doing all the readings and have a bunch of notes, I aced the essay part, but totally bombed the multiple choice that was worth more marks...

Not a bad course, just don't expect to get an A in it :)

[hitman09]

If i want a GPA booster, what course would you guys suggest.

[rooney11]

truthfully, do something you have interest in, it will make the class worth more and will allow you to work hard on something you can relate or have a passion for.

[d.n.d.]

just verifying, the enrollment time for each of the dates is 4:30am right? i have gone a few pages back but did not see what i was looking for. and for future reference, where can i find the specific time? i tried checking RAMS but its not working for me at the moment. i got the dates, just not the time.

last few years the time was posted at 4:30am, however this year I also do not see the time posted, so I just assume it will remain the same at 4:30 am

Ramms is closed everynight at midnight and usually opens around 3 - 4 am again so it would make sense.

[smolek]

A word of advice to first years (or anyone) changing there schedules based on ratemyprof.com

That website is idiotic. Bunch of bitter students trying to get back at their profs because they were not able to keep up with the course, or were simply lazy. Maybe one in 10 comments is legitimate, about things like accent or something like that.

I've never changed my schedule due to what I read on ratemyprof and have a friend who always does. And I always get higher grades. If you are a good student, you will survive. Besides if you really don't like a prof at the end of first week you can still switch sections or even just attend another profs lecture if they are teaching the same things in the course.

[omchow]

This yr "first yr students' enrollment date & time are now posted on RAMSS.

Yea its 8 am now. I think its good cause getting up at 4:30 or staying up till 4:30 finding out the server crashed was brutal ... Even if the server crashing at 8 am (hoping it doesn't this year) then at least you can stick around and try later rather than going back to sleep and timing yourself to wake up every 10 minutes to check if its working.

[bbraganz]

hi all, just wanted a bit of help if anyone can assist.

I had done course intentions for ACC 801 and LAW 529 (both for the fall semester)

when schedules came out a couple days ago, RAMMS removed me from ACC 801 automatically because it shared a time slot with LAW 529.

What do I do??? I would much rather choose another LAW course as I am an accounting major.

Thanks and if anyone could PM me advice that would be awesome!

The orientation is free from what I have heard, and I think each department has their own group activities, but in some cases the departments all join together.

-Not sure thoe, my reply is based on information I received from my friends.

When you go into RAMSS --> click on details on the right side under "Enrollment Dates" --> select Fall 2009 and that should show you the date and time.

There are department specific frosh events like the commerce, engineer, arts you mentioned where you have to pay $80. Then there is the free frosh events.

I went to the one where you didn't have to pay and although i didn't go to all the events, it was quite boring. And from what i heard the commerce frosh was worth going to. I advise you to still go to either one since you'll meet many people from your program.

Hi all! Question:

I read somewhere upthread that you can have up to 7 classes without additional fee; (can I have a link to the source pls)

I see first year science students are automatically enrolled for 6 classes for the first semester. Does that mean I could add 1 more for free?

[hitman09]

yes, but why kill urself.

welcome to science, PM me if u need any labs or such!
but honestly DONT ADD nothing.. you will be swamped and honestly i dont think u can find one liberal that will fit in the 1st year science time table.

but i thought that the "7th course, no extra cost" is only for UofT?

[bb320]

I couldn't agree more, ITM is over rated...and too many students think they can land a 6 figure job...haha

I'm going into my third year in the ITM program this september. Last year I think I spend about $500 on the textbooks. Big time rip-off. Its like $100+ for those accounting/finance books. My tuition this year is like $6400 or something.

[Eminson]

but i thought that the "7th course, no extra cost" is only for UofT?


I read my program's fee detail pdf, and on the pdf it said the whole year tuition fee includes 5-7 courses/each sem.
You can go check our the fee detail of your program.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

so if you're in engineering/sciences, u dont need to take that 1 extra liberal?

P.S when do we pay for our tuition? And how do we know how much to pay?

i can only speak for science, engineering can might be different
first sem, no you dont need to add any courses since you do have 6, 1 not being for credit (pass or fail), that course being "orientation" Its a BS course that you absolutly DON'T need to attend. Just check RAMMS often to see if there is an assingment and they are easy! M/C common sense stuff.

For second sem you do need to add 1 liberal

idk when u need to pay.. october maybe?
for science, the year costed me 4,437.16 in tuition, not including texts & lab stuff. The good thing that i found out is that the texts you get on day 1 will last the entire year. Also if you opt out of the health/dental program that you are already paying for in that 4,437.16, you get around 300 back in the form of a check in january. BUT i didn't learn about this until it was too late :(

Why are you not charged for Athletics whereas I am?

[hitman09]

Ok for those charges due on mine it says I have to pay $1,625.58 all together for ITM is that all for this semester or is their more to come.

[airworks]

I have a feeling it's more to come. mine says term: fall 2009.

[airworks]

Why are you not charged for Athletics whereas I am?

i think i have to pay athletics separately.

[rainmaker89]

hmm i got a couple question..and will gladly appreciate it if someone could be kind enough to answer them....the first is a basic one, what is the full tuition cost for first year business adminstration...second one is do we pay it in full, or do we get to pay by semester....??

[nx6288]

Full tuition cost: around $5.5k I think. By semester.

[descent1]

Since last couple of years RSU kept fighting for tuition fee to be split and I heard that starting this year Dean has allowed to split the tuition fee.

What does Splitting tuition fee means?
- NOw, the fee for each semester is due seperately. As compared to last years, where the whole year's fee (2 semesters) was due at the same date somewhere at the end of September. But, now Fall fee will be due End of September and Winter fee will be due in Jan. So in that way you dont get charged interest for the Winter sem right away.

Pm me if you need more clarifications.

Regarding extra fees, ITM guys are a bit different because they pay for their laptop that they get for their program, otherwise others have much lower additional charges (athletic, dental plan, etc)

Last year I paid just over 6K for 1st yr business.

We pay by semester, thankfully.

Hi I just have a couple questions if you could all give your suggestions and advice.

Not like my program, 4 out of 5 of my mandatory courses only have 1 time slot.

Yeah I should be able to choose the time slot but on RAMSS it does not have that option. Also a random question can you guys enroll in your courses yet? I tried enrolling in accounting but it says I cannot do that operation right now for some reason

"Option"? You have to use "search" to look for different time slot of your courses.

Business students first year should have 5/6 courses per semester, making it 10-12 a year.


Your courses should already be given on default. All you can do with it is drop it if you decide to take it at a later time/date or swap prof/classes.

Fall is more expensive because of the 280 health and dental fee, which some students opt out of and get their money back.

[CheapDude]

it looks like they raised tuition once again for the ITM program.

Whats up with that, extra $40 for the laptop rental. I remeber last year, they said something about the rental fee being cheaper every year and they mailing us cheques if they had money leftover. Must be the new laptops the 1st and 3rd year students get.

only $40 more for you? I'm paying $450 for fall and another $450 for winter to rent the laptop. So $900 in total which is $100 more than what i paid last year.

I haven't bee following this year's one much, but there should be 3 froshes.

One for all Ryerson 1st years (free), one for Commerce students (pay), and one for engineers (I'm guessing you have to pay).

Events for the general frosh:
https://runner.ss.ryerson.ca/orientationevents/events/index.cfm
You don't sign up online, you go in person and go to the Aug 31 initial get together. One or two events might have a nominal fee ($2 for burgers, etc) but they should mostly be free.

Commerce frosh is different, you pay and there's limited spots so its first come first serve.

I paid $400 a term last year and got billed $420 a term for the upcoming year. I'm guessing it depends on which year you are in.

[Ayre]

I'm just curious what it says on everyones RAMSS. I've heard that Ryerson automatically enrolls you in all your required first year classes so, does anyone have any classes that they are already enrolled in? Under my academics tab it says you are not enrolled in classes.

I know the open enrollment date is on August 18 but I'm just wondering if the university already enrolls you into the required courses.

[aw305]

yea, your required courses have already been assigned to you on RAMSS, it should've given you a schedule.

Can someone help me with my schedule, it seems i have been enrolled in 7 courses for some reason for first year retail student, i am enrolled in ECN104 once in fall 2009 and winter 2010, should i be concerned, or should i just drop it and take it next semester?

[OracerO]

Damn i miss school.........:cry:

i wish i was still at Ryerson doing my undergrad.

[Ayre]

Yeah thanks, I just got off the phone with them. They said that if you were accepted from the wait list then you have to choose all courses (including required) manually on the 18th.

Another question, for my required courses, there are three different lecture sections each with the same classroom, professor and time. Can I pick either one or is there some difference between them that I'm missing?

-Thank you

Check again, You should have 6 courses (all together) for the Fall 09 semester, 4 courses plus ACC and a liberal.

If you still have 5 courses at the moment, post them on the site.

Your timetable for Winter 2010, will given to you later on in the year, dont worry about that yet.

i really thought that i moved away from this after highschool.. guess not... ppl are still crying over a locker

If every locker is used, why would someone not cry over a locker that they signed up for, they can't really just move on to the next free lock can they? Then again, I never used lockers in University.

I'm also not familiar with where lockers are located, for my program/department we were located in Kerr Hall and I've only been in so many buildings that have lockers.

Let’s say I took the acc100, can I still minor in accounting or do I have to take the acc110 course in order to minor or major in accounting.

According to the ryerson website you only need to take Acc110 if you MAJORING in either Accounting or Finance, thats what it says on the ryerson website. It might be a good idea to call them up, just to confirm it. None of us can confirm it, as its a new thing they doing this year.

Hey guys just have a few questions. I am taking first year electrical engineering and it mentions taking a course from table A. Do I have to take it this year or could I take it at another time? Also can you guys recommend a good course to take from the table?

[icemasta]

Quick question, if I want to switch times/profs for courses do I click the Swap button and then pick the new time/prof class or do I have to drop then add? Just want to get it confirmed because the 18th.

yes you can swap.

Any suggestions would help.
Which should I take: ACC100 or ACC 110?
I didnt do any accounting in high school, so I'll be new to it. I'm wondering if I should take ACC110 just to keep my options open just in case I considered majoring in accounting.

[hitman09]

I'm having a dilemma. On Monday I have one class that ends at 2 and another that starts at 2. Would this mean that I would have to be late for the second class?

No you wouldnt be late...classes start at 10 after usually. Just means you gonna have to do some fast walking if you want a good seat =P I'm in the same scenario for 3 days out of my week lol.

Yeap, classes start 10 mins after the hour, so class ends at 2pm, then the next one starts at 2:10pm. Have to rush and hope that the lecture doesn't go overtime!

As becoming a first year ITM student, when can you begin choosing your electives.

Also, I want to transfer to the Business Management program in second year, what electives should I take?

Anymore advices / suggestions, regardings to first year ITM -> second year Business Management, or just first year ITM in general?

Thanks in advance.

CHRIST!!!! im screwed...need some help right away from anyone!!!, i transfered from last year engineering to this years first year business management..so i initially had to manually do my own schedule as i was told from the office, i presumed at Aug 18th just like other first years...but now WTF!!!!!..it says my enrollment is from Aug 26th..this is just bs, i should get the same treatment as other first years..and now im not sure im gonna get into the classes that are in my cart from aug 26!!!!..THIS SUCKS!..any advice????

I'm in the same boat, transferred from ITM. Just hoping there's plenty of open classes so I can shift around my schedule to whatever works.

BTW, anyone know where I might be able to find a ACC 100, ACC 406 course outline? I need them for transfer credits, I've emailed instructors I had courses with and got no response, and have no idea where I might be able to find them.

[Jordan81]

So we have to pay our full tuition by September 11th? There is a $70 deferral fee if we do not pay both Fall and Winter by the due date.

Fees Information

Updated Fee statements for Fall 2009/Winter 2010 will be available next week via RAMSS for all returning students who participated in Course Intentions and to all newly approved students who have confirmed acceptance of their approval. The final date for full payment of undergraduate tuition fees for the Fall 2009/Winter 2010 academic year is Friday, September 11. Students who choose to defer payment of all or part of their Winter 2010 undergraduate tuition fees until after September 30, will be assessed a $70 Deferral fee. Late fees will be assessed on unpaid Fall 2009 undergraduate tuition fees as of September 12, 2009 and, on unpaid Winter 2010 undergraduate tuition fees as of January 6, 2010.

yah..but you were in the business program, so you are second year regardless, im suppose to be like brand new first year student because i dont have any business courses etc..just start fresh so i should have the same privileges of having open enrollment at Aug 18th..hopefully i can get it resolved by Monday.

Anyone else have any opinions? I was thinking taking ACC110 just to keep my options open just in case I enjoy it and want to major in accounting/finance. If I take ACC100 now, then I'd have to take ACC110 in summer school or something if I wanted to major and waste another $500ish.

[tnguyenviet]

Just take 110. I believe now they scaled it so 100 isn't as hard anymore - which means you won't have the full benefit of knowing truly how an accounting major would be because it would have that babied/catered feel to it.

Beats me. When I was in first year 2 years ago we just had 100 and that wasnt even hard at all...why they went this route I am completely puzzled.

[Fluid]

ye but how bout for people with no accounting knowledge whatsoever. I wrote my midterm based completely on high school knowledge and ended up with one of the highest marks in the class.

anyone know whats going on with that?

here's what i gather:

If you pay all of your fees before September 30 there are no extra fees or interest.
- If you pay your fall fees before September 30 then you will be charged a $70 deferral fee on your winter fees
- If you pay your fall fees and only part of your winter fees before September 30 then you will be charged a $70 deferral fee on your winter fees
- If you pay only some of your fall fees before September 30 then you would be charged a $70 deferral fee for winter fees plus interest on your outstanding fall fees.

This is how Ryerson financial aid office replied me in the email: "The due date is Sept. 11, 2009. However, we do allow students until the end of September to pay off their fees before we charge any interest/deferral fee."

Not really, its a pass or fail course. Its basically a course that teaches you how to do well in University. Basics to most people, such as how to study, do multiple choice, read textbooks, etc.

Hmmmm...course selections are tonight...what are you guys taking?

I heard intro to astronomy's good, but I can't choose that because I'm an engineering student. Thinking of taking ECN 440 Booms, Busts, Panics and Manias but I haven't taken economic courses in high school before.

It isn't necessary for Ryerson. If at all possible, they rather you pay all before September Ending.

Ryerson is just taking a method similar to other school where they are allowed to pay one semester at a time - in case of insufficient funds. But in doing so, they are going to be *******s and charge 70$ cause they are gay like that.

if you are commuting via go transit... then check your ryerson mail they have sent a message regarding getting a go transit id card (to get a discounted pass/10 ride)......the last day to get one is Aug 21.......the application is simple, you just have to follow the instructions in the email and send out a reply to them.

Yeah thats how much your in debt to ryerson. You have to give OSAP your blank cheque or w/e so they can deposit it to your bank account. You can use it on whatever but its your choice to go in more debt or not.

[tnguyenviet]

I have a back to back class from business building to KHE is that possible to make.

Yes. Classes dont start until 10 minutes after the hour. You will probably be let out of class 5 minutes at least before that hour. Leaving a total of 15 minutes to walk to the other building - plenty of time.

As someone else pointed out, that's how much you owe Ryerson- that's your tuition for the year. I believe starting at the end of August, you're able to get your OSAP papers (there was an email sent out with details) and get the money by the first week of school. As for the entrance scholarship, it will be automatically put into your Ryerson account.

Hi, I was wondering whether it is alright to have one class finish at the Ted Rogers building and have my liberal elective course start immediately after. Is the 10 minute in-between time enough to make it to the main campus?

Plus, if I'm not fast enough to get into the classes I want, I can be placed on a waitlist and not loose my spot before the swap right?

Finally, what Economics teacher do you recommend for ECN 104?

Thank you.

Second I was just wondering what would be better. A schedule with a few hours of gaps in between or straight back to back courses?

Also Early morning classes or afternoon classes?

Last question does the homework come from the lectures or the labs?

People usually follow their program's calender, so if on the calender it said I should be taking one elective this fall, I would take it then.

For myself, I prefer a schedule with all straight back to back courses, just don't wanna waste anytime, cuz I really don't know what to do in the few hours gaps. I think early morning class is better, cuz I can go home earlier.

A buddy of mine finished first year mechanical and what he did was take his elective in the summer, and made his fall/winter a bit easier. It's up to your preference in a way...

As for classes with gaps or no gaps...id say gaps arent always bad...when you get 3 hour classes back to back...you'll start going nuts after a while...a break is needed sometimes.

Plus also keep in mind that midterms are usually written in class so if you have classes one after another that means when midterms come around, you might have them one after another too....meaning you'll have to study for all of them 2gether as you'll have them the same day. I had to go through this past year and i had a day when i had 3 midterms to write one after another. It went allright but i didn't like it that much.

In other words, think ahead not just about lets get it done and go home. After all you're going to school to succeed not just get it over with.

Hi Guys,

For Business management, I just wanted to know , do u know anybody who has done or is doing a double major by taking extra courses...

if so can u please give me his or her contact details...

see the thing is, my first choice is Finance, but then for post grad studies Eco & management Sci is a good major. So, I was thinking, why not do both majors if the school allows. As for the extra load, I'm pretty sure I can handle it - I just wanna know whether its possible.

Thanks for your responses. I appreciate it.

Have a good one.

Other people answered but I'll answer anyway, with my own experiences.

1. Lower liberals you can also take in the summer if you want to lighten your course load, in either spring or summer session. Mind you, some people prefer not to take up their vacation with school so they work instead, but it is an option. Last summer I did both, so it's not like you will kill yourself.

2. My suggestion is if you want back to back courses try to get a nice hour or so break in between. Trust me. Last semester I had a crazy Monday straight morning till night- but I made sure to have a couple hours in between the blocks. That saved me. You might go nuts otherwise. 3 hour lectures tend to be trying!

3. Early morning or afternoon depend on your preference. Lots of commuters prefer afternoon as coming in at 8 in the morning or so is a monumental pain in the ass. But then you finish faster, so it's up to you.

4. Homework generally comes with labs or tutorials, however it really depends on your classes. I've had it where the assignments are handed out in lectures and collected in labs, and vice versa, however generally it is handed in on labs. Up to the prof and TA's really.





PS, I'm not sure how much this will help people, but I figured it might help someone at least. This is how I did my RAMSS course enrollment every year, and I always got the courses I wanted...and this year it's even easier:

1. Print out your current schedule [print out the weekly one starting on the 14th so you have a full week of courses].

Most likely it is a very crappy schedule right now. So:

2. You have two choices here:

a) either go on to www.ryerson.ca and search for Ryerson's 2009-2010 course calendar, and open the online version in a tab for reference, OR

b) Under RAMSS click on the 'Enrollment Advisement' or something similar...I forgot, but it does say 'Advisement'

Both will tell you which courses you need for the upcoming semester. Under option A, if you search under program of studies, eventually you will find your exact major and click under the semester you are enrolling for- it will tell you in clear terms exactly what courses you need.

3. Now armed with this information, it is time to open a tab in RAMMS and search for your courses, with the times you want!

-Let's say you want to go for a HST liberal. Search up the exact code under the course calendar, see if you find a nice slot [there are usually some different choices], and if you see what you like, add it to your shopping cart!

That way, when enrollment opens, you have all your options already there and ready to click 'enroll' for.



A couple of pointers:

1. If a time you want is already full for a class, be patient, a spot might open. People are swapping like mad for the next two weeks, so you might get it. Have other options in mind.

2. This swapping is good for other things than liberals too, so see if you can move your core courses around if there's more than one lecture.

OR, alternatively, you can move around your tutorial section only...that might help.

3. Rate my Professor can only go so far. If you think about it, it's an internet platform, and really the judging of profs go from ridiculous to informed. Some people negate on stupid stuff like appearance. Take it with a grain of salt. Also, in exception to some horribly bad profs, I have never seen one that will kill you on marks if you do your homework and be smart about school, and I'm going into 4th year. I'm not talking about butt kissing here, I'm just talking about diligence.

If you're using Rate my Professor as your sole source of course selection, perhaps you shouldn't be in university.

4. Go to orientation! If possible, try going to orientation cold, WITHOUT someone you know. I find that people who go to orientation with a group of friends never really make any effort to get to know anyone else, and it becomes a crutch. Try attending the events and so on, it is worth it, trust when I say that the school works all summer in attempt to make the transition easier for first years. Take advantage of it.

Cheers guys

Great post^^

I have another question though...I'm going into first year business and on the calender it says I have 4 courses and I choose between intro to economics or regular economics (could be finance, I didn't memorize it), and then it says to choose one frmo table i (Which I assume is lower liberal courses).

So how do I choose that finance/economics course? it isn't included on my thing online, do I have to look that up my self and choose a course?

[hitman09]

Thanks for the INFO.

[hitman09]

I have QMS from 10-1, ITM from 1-4 and BUS from 5-6 on Tuesday. Will this be bearable or is it too much!?

[Chilipop]

From I remember my bf telling me about ITM, the lectures might take a toll on you. Honestly, I wouldn't advise it, but then again I have no idea what type of person you are, you might be able to stand it.

That said, if you find in your first week you have a problem with keeping up, you can try to fix your schedule then.

Unfortunately I'm not in the Business stream, however, from what I can see, the second course is preparing you for an entry into Accounting and Finance as majors.

So therefore, if you don't' plan on taking Accounting or Financing as your final major in Business, then the introductory course is fine. If you want to keep your options open, take the second one. That said, I suspect the second one is more advanced than introductory...however, let's see if someone from business can confirm it for me.

And you are correct, Table A is a list of lower level liberals you are allowed to take. Mind you you still have to check up on it, as not all the courses are available for both semesters, some are only second, and some are first, so you have to check under RAMSS to see if they are there and if they fit your schedule.

Also, if you have crazy troubles trying to figure it out, it might be a good idea to find out who your program advisor is and give them a call.

When I had a lot of trouble during first year, I went to them and they set me straight. It's their job to make sure you're in what you're supposed to be in.

...only if you go yourself and ask however...welcome to university!

where do you see regular econimics or intro to economics?? want to post the link you are looking at? thanks

[1barginxhunter91]

also does anyone know what kind of jobs global management can lead into?

[circumventer]

I dont know if this has been said yet, but you all hail rye High.

If you can't handle that, your in the wrong type of post-secondary.

I say this in not a mean way but;

QMS102 = really calculator based, its not a stressful course
ITM102 = you will learn what a computer is, and how it functions... what is a mouse? monitor?

and your BUS class is not even a class you are graded on, you just have to attend it. The worse you do in that class is make up your own time schedule to organize your self.

[tnguyenviet]

You look it up on your own under ramss, and add it on your own. The methods have been posted on the ryerson website and explained here.

First Semester

"Required Group 1: Select One Course
Intro. Financial Accounting
Financial Accounting"

So my question is HOW do I choose one of them, do I just do it in RAMMS manually?

Precisely.

You will either type in ACC100 , or ACC 110 and enroll into it.

[arbab01]

everyone goo to sleep. enrollement will start at 9 am, not 8. so please sleep in and dont wake up early to try and enroll in class. wake up at 9.

I meant the timings and the daily routine not the course difficulty or workload.

[v-unit]

thanks tnguyenviet

lol its still 8 right?,,,?

How come I have two BUS 100? One on tuesday and one on wednesday. this is a problem because ACC100 Which I need now goes only on wednesday during the timeslot where BUS 100 is. Also, BUS 100 , whenI search it, only comes up on tuesdays...wtf?

[tnguyenviet]

I meant the timings and the daily routine not the course difficulty or workload.

? Whats wrong with the time? The time is really up to you as a individual. We can't tell you if that is a 'sick' time or a 'bad' time. Breaks are not needed for 2 classes... poor excuse. It's really easy to handle two back to back classes.

[tnguyenviet]

It beats me. If it still says 8:00 on ramss then it is. Use to be 4:30am the past 2 years i've done it but beats me.

Bus100 is broken up into two, because like many courses you will encounter, is due to it being a lecture and a tutorial. The 2 hour one, whichever day that is, is where you learn the stuff from the 'book' and the 1 hour one is where you just take attendance, talk about transitions , how to be a better student... etc.. Usually, for most courses, the 1 hour tutorial is in smaller groups, of maybe 20-30 people whereas the lecture will consist of 150+ students.

Your dilemma, is a dilemma all students go thru when making their schedules. If it doesnt fit, then you have to find ways to add other courses, move certain courses, take courses on a diff day, take a night course instead... etc. You have to research what class is offered what day and plan you schedule according to that. All on your own.

How is it an excuse when I am asking for advice, since I am new to this process and I am entering my first year.

[NightBlackDelta]

Funny, I called the undergrad office today and they told me it was 4:30AM, even though RAMSS said it was 8AM. Ah...

By the way, I'm just wondering. I have Changping Wang for Calculus, but I also have the option of taking the same lectures at the same time with Anthony Bonato. Not sure which teacher to choose, though swapping the calculus course is the lowest priority right now.

[tnguyenviet]

Never did I say YOU were making it an excuse. I was speaking in broad, general terms.

[hitman09]

Understood, but reword your replies next time or people might misinterpret them.

[tnguyenviet]

lol ok , but my responses have been nothing but help , not troll.

[frankie123]

does anyone happen to know where to look at what text books we need for each courses? im sure its out there but i just cudnt find it

[tnguyenviet]

It's not. Not until the final week of august when the course profs post up on blackboard the outline , stating which book you will be using. People are selling books from last year/ last last year for courses in which you can buy now, but you take the risk of it being a older version because they might switch to a new one, new program.. etc..

[frankie123]

^^^^ thank you.... im guessing we are all awake waiting for the course selection!? lol i slept at 930 n woke up just now at 230

[tnguyenviet]

I have had bad sleeping habbits for some time now... My course selection isn't until the 24th, just on RFD seeing if any of you guys need answers and what not.

Good luck to you.

alot of classes dont have wait list option .. just keep doing it over and over again until the class is open .. thats wut i did and i think you're spouse to do that and try and get lucky

[TripleH13]

just wondering I want to swap one of my classes and the class I want to go into is full. If i click swap would it boot me from my open class and put me in a closed class?

[Eminson]

no.. they "suggest" that you apply for waitlist but alot of classes dont have waitlist.. you just keep retrying till it opens up.. and it wont kick you out of your original class it will say "Error ###" and explaination

[NightBlackDelta]

RAMSS is still working for me. Got my courses and everything set. Noticed the server lag as soon as the clock turned to
