Congrats, @SunSeeker21! It definitely sounds like you're in as long as you complete the final outstanding requirements (stats, San'yas). Very exciting! Can I ask if you applied anywhere else, or just UNBC? 

Thank you @IslanderEllie! I only applied to UNBC because I need distance learning and can't commit to full time course load right now, limiting me to UNBC or TRU. TRU's start date of May 2024 was too soon and only their first year running the NP Program. If I don't get in to UNBC for their Sept 2024 start I will apply to both TRU and UNBC for 2025.

I applied to UNBC and just noticed a new notification on my UNBC portal (not the dashboard) that says "Academic hold - Conditional Admission Hold".  Not exactly sure what this means but I am currently taking my stats course through TRU and set to complete it in April. 
 

Yay!, congrats! May I ask where exactly you checked that ? have a hard time finding it on the portal

When you are logged into the portal go to the top right of your screen, you will see a bell icon. It had a red dot on it and when I clicked it this window popped up.

Thank you!  Although I am not celebrating until something official is sent because you never know! LOL.  Definitely making me focus harder on completing my Stats course though ?

I just spoke with UNBC's post graduate nursing advisor about it.  She says decisions are being put forward by the department and she "thinks she knows what it's about" and told me to email student info.  I will let you know what they say!

Their reply: "Good afternoon and thank you for your inquiry. We hope to have more information for you within the coming days. Please keep checking your application dashboard for further updates."  Looks like people should start hearing decisions soon!

Hi everyone, 

Has anyone started their STAT 301 course on Athabasca? 

Do you know how long it takes to complete this course? Also is anyone planning to start the course once they get conditional acceptance? I really don't want to spend 1K not knowing whether or not I'm getting into the program or not ...

Any insight would be much appreciated!!
