Out of curiosity, does the University monitor the content of your email exchanges?

I haven't done anything bad per say but recently one of my correspondences with a friend descended into a (joking) sexual-banter fest. And now I am getting paranoid that I will be expelled for talking about sex, lecturers and getting frisky on the 6th floor annexe. :frown:


Loool nah you're safe I think :smile:

hi everyone! i'm trying to choose my first year subjects and I was wondering if there will be time to go from one lecture to another if my German lecture ends at 2 but then Economics starts at 2. I mean, I can't be that fast :biggrin:
This is driving me nuts! I completed both the registration and financial registration easily enough but then I tried to stat picking courses! So confused, I'm attempting to located my History courses but they only have one up worth 20 points in semester one and none for semester two. Does anyone know if this is right because I thought I would see two history courses to give me 40 points :/

I've already registered and enrolled (just in case!), but I was wondering, what about the Advisor bit? Do we have to contact them or something, or only meet them the first week...?

Hi there, I noticed that you're also going to be starting German at Glasgow in September. Was just wondering if you've managed to enroll in both non beginners' language and culture? I wasn't able to enroll in both because the enrollment meetings clash (presumably they just do one meeting for the course instead of for both classes, but the computer system obviously doesn't get that!). I've sent an email to the arts chief adviser but I don't know how quickly they'll respond....
Thanks
I may have accidentally told the university I have a long term disability and that I would like disability services to contact me.

Oh dear. I think I preferred Websurf.

I'm having the same issue with a time table clash that shouldn't really be occurring either :tongue: The arts chief advisor is really awesome and he responds quite quickly! :smile:

Hi Rachel! My adviser told me that since it clashes only once it should be ok. I will probably attend German Language enrollment meeting and see what happens, may be they will bring the whole German class together. Anyways, it is not our fault since obviously everyone who's taking German is in the same situation :smile:

Thanks for letting me know :smile:. Did your adviser say anything about what to do in terms of enrollment on MyCampus? Sorry about all the questions!

Probably, yes. If it's anything like nearly every other degree then mech will only be 1/3 of your first and possibly second year of university if that.


I would imagine engineering will have more compulsory classes than that. Can't be sure though.

I just emailed him again since I couldn't enroll for the language class because of this one single clash. It's a bit frustrating, isn't it? I hope they will solve this problem as this is the only time that fits me. Have you already tried to enroll?

Yeah, I've enrolled for English Literature, English Language and German non beginners' culture but I wasn't allowed to enroll for German non beginners' language because of the clash. It is quite annoying as you'd think whoever uploaded the classes would realise the system wouldn't allow for 2 meetings at the same time! Will let you know what the adviser says when he/she gets back to me.

Does anybody know what's supposed to happen about the freshers events that happen before the 10th at the Unions since we won't have our freshers passes by then? Basically how do we get in without our passes? Thanks in advance

Glasgow clubs are classy establishments compared to Norwegian ones. I just thought I'd let you all know.

They're classy compared to Cambridge clubs...I miss Glasgow! Shall give an update on comparison to Calgary clubs when I'm out there!

I think those are available for everyone (even non freshers iirc) so you won't have any problem. Just print off a letter saying you're at uni or whatever just in case.

When you were accepted you were accepted into the Faculty of Arts in general (or I think it's called School now...) You could go do Czech and Italian if you decided, assuming it's the same as when I started. You do 3 subjects too, so you could do Spanish Russian and French if you wanted.
(I'd talk to your adviser before you did much with MyCampus though, maybe it's set to accept what you applied for in the first place)
