UFV Sept 2013

World Canada CA Programs

Published

I am starting a thread for UFV, Sept 2013 applicants (thus the title)

I am a Jan 2013 reject and hoping for a spot in the fall. Is anyone here a repeat applicant?

Also, has anyone's status changed from 'Accepted Conditionally' now that our additional documents have been submitted?

Hi chinchilly--yes all our nursing classes will be held at the Chilliwack campus where the interviews were! The only classes that will not be held there are the non-nursing courses/electives (English, stats, anthropology/sociology/psychology, etc). I also read in an old forum that pharmacology (I think) was an evening course in Abby, but maybe that's changed now. (Tonysn, maybe you could confirm which ones may not be in Chilliwack?)

My status hasn't changed either from accepted conditionally. My registration date is on Thursday, so I'll let you know if it changes after I register.

Also, everyone make sure you pay your $200 deposit a couple days BEFORE your registration time to allow for them to receive it. I checked myufv on Monday and noticed I had a hold on my account and wasn't going to be able to register because my deposit wasn't paid yet. I did it online yesterday morning and the hold came off this afternoon. I know this rule changed from last year (you used to pay the deposit as you were registering), so just want to make sure no one has to wait longer than necessary!

The classes will all be held in the same building that you had your interview in. There are both labs, and lecture halls. Eng 105, may be a different story. I think you will have to take that in Abbotsford. My status has changed to conditionally accepted.

Paraston beat me to the punch- lol, and she is right, all other electives will be in mission or abby. Pharm is also in abby.

Hi Chinchilly and the rest,

Courses:

So yes, your core nursing classes will always be at the UFV Chilliwack CEP campus (where you had your interviews). Your other elective courses needed for the BSN degree (ie. sociology, english, psych, stats etc.) will be at either the Abbotsford and/or Chilliwack campus, as Paraston has mentioned. Pharmacology has typically been an evening course at 1800 on Thursdays at the Abby campus. I don't think that this will change.

Living Arrangements

Chinchilly - if you are looking to move to Chilliwack, I suggest looking for places soon. Since the increasing development of the Sardis area where the new campus is, there has been a lot of condos and such being built up. And they are filling up very fast! I was very very very lucky to get a bachelor suite in Garrison Village. And if you are able to, I would suggest getting a place either in Garrison Village and/or near Garrison Crossing. Not only it is a beautiful location, you literally have all amenities very close to you, such as the gym (which all UFV students have free access to!), Cooper's Foods, Waves, Subway, liquor store (definitely need that glass of wine sometimes!), etc. It also helps since it's only a

Let me know if you guys have any other questions :)

Thank you all for your insight and thorough replies! Much appreciated :)

Does anyone know how registration times were assigned?

You're fortunate to have yours on Thursday Paraston!

I wonder if there will be any issues/conflicts with registration or if they have allotted the correct amount of seats for all of the applicants?

I THINK registration times may have something to do with how long you've been a student at UFV? Or maybe when you got your application in? Not 100% positive. But either way, I've been a student there since 2007 (not every year though) and I got my application in last July.

As for the seats, there should be no problems registering. They have 48 seats for each class (the amount of students accepted). You're required to be accepted to the bsn program before being allowed to register in any nursing class, so there's no competition from other students.

That is good to know, thank you!

This means there is no need to plan a timetable then?

Seeing as how we only have one option for which courses to register in?

Yupp exactly! :)

Your timetables will be given to you guys on your first day of classes!

It shows the 16 week schedule, week by week, because it will change!
