Anyone know what will change now that teachers college is 1 year?

I wait for three weeks for an assignment to be marked only to be told my AIM isn't done. Except it is and the professor said we didn't have to submit anywhere or email as they can see who has completed it?! Apparently not.
Now i have to wait longer for the mark. Next assignment is due soon so no clue if I even hit the parts I was supposed to.
Another class took a full month to get the marks back and Im just flabbergasted how there is no feedback. I’m not expecting hand holding detail but how am I supposed to learn what was correct if there isn't feedback.
My college facilitators (where the college was their second job) had triple the students and gave great feedback on everything. I'm just annoyed and confused.
Is this just what I should expect?

What email to use? WES hasn’t provided one?

WES says - The school must not assign a PIN or expiration date to the document download link, or WES will be blocked from accessing it

But Lakehead sends password-protected PDF

What to do?

Hi guys! I’m currently feeling very homesick and lonely while at school. I’m living on res in orillia and I’m finding it so hard to make friends and to hangout with people. I’m so bored and frankly feeling super lonely. Does anyone on res want to connect to possibly hangout?

The Mental Health, Wellbeing and Lived Experiences Study

Theresia Bedard, a PhD candidate at Lakehead University that is working with Dr. Beth Visser, is seeking participants for her dissertation project.

In this study we are examining the lived experiences of people who have experience or victimization from an individual with high psychopathic traits. We are seeking anyone that has this lived experience, whether the perpetrator was or is a spouse, family member, partner, co-worker, friend, acquaintance, neighbour or stranger. We are seeking the lived experiences of men, women, and gender-diverse individuals to share your story.

Our research consists of two studies. In the first study, you will complete questionnaires related to your victimization experience from the individual with high psychopathic traits, the potential warning signs, victimization history (e.g., prior physical or sexual abuse), and the impact the experience had on you. Once you finish the survey, you will be invited to participate in the second study (optional), which will consist of 12 questions requiring a written response regarding your lived experience with the individual with high psychopathic traits. If you decide to participate in study 2, please be aware that you will be required to provide us with your email to access it, and you may wish to use an email account that only you have access to.

Please be advised that whether you choose to participate in the study, withdraw, or skip questions you do not want to answer, that you acknowledge that answering some of these questions may be emotionally taxing on you. Despite the potential for an emotional toll the survey questions have, you may find the process of sharing your experience is therapeutic for you. In addition to the resources we provide, you may want to consider following-up with a counsellor for further support.

You are also encouraged to have your own snacks and drinks while you take the survey, and be aware that they are estimated to take 45 minutes to complete.

hello, i am starting to study for the 1511 midterm and not sure where to start as it is kind of common sense could someone give me some tips for studying for this class

hi! I am a student at Lakehead and I want to get back into music. I play the saxophone, guitar, and a little bit of piano, but I’m always looking to learn something new (more specifically cello or violin)! I wasn’t sure if any students in the faculty of music offer lessons or if they get any incentive for teaching lessons? Or if there are any ensembles that accept amateurs? Just looking to build new hobbies and make new friends :)

As per the email that was sent out:

To the Lakehead University community,

We are very pleased to announce that Lakehead University and the Lakehead University Faculty Association (LUFA) have agreed to a tentative collective agreement. Both parties have been working together since July 2026 to negotiate a new collective agreement.

This tentative agreement will now be brought forward to both parties for ratification.

The University and LUFA thank the bargaining teams of both parties who have been working towards this new agreement over the last several months. Special thanks to the mediators from the Ministry of Labour for their assistance throughout the process.

So I made the trip to the main cafeteria and found some new places to add to my site! I didn't realise there was Burger Bar/Grille Works and Toum Shawarma tucked away back there! Such a welcoming zone I'm definitely heading back to sample everything! Love that I could get a smashburger before 0900! My white whale now seems to be Dan's Diner's menu.

Hey anyone else saw this? On the 17 October? Haha

Faculty at Lakehead is in bargaining and has been working under an expired contract for a while now. The student body has grown but the employer keeps increasing class sizes and decreasing stability for faculty members. A strike could be called as early as October 17th.

The following poster is being circulated by LUFA. If you're an alumni, a member of another union at the university, a student, or just a member of the community, you should sign to show your support and help avoid a strike.

Edit to add url: https://lufa.org/negotiations-2026/

When you click "start writing" you will be directed to LUFA's prepared statement. You can sign as-is or make whatever edits you want.

does anyone know any information about the strike that might happen?

For those who were accepted into the program, I’d love to hear what you think made your application stand out!
If you’re comfortable sharing:
• What was your GPA?
• What did you feel was the strongest part of your application?
• Who did you use as your references (manager, NP, physician, professor, etc.)?
• What CV format/template did you use?
• Were you an alumni of the university?
• How many years of nursing experience did you have, and what areas did you work in?
• Did you have any leadership, teaching, volunteer, or community involvement that you think helped?
• Anything you wish you had known before applying?
A little about me: I graduated with a 3.2 GPA and have been nursing in Northwestern Ontario for several years. My RN experience includes long-term care, medical-surgical, maternal/newborn, and labour & delivery. I’ve also started training in critical care and am hoping to begin 1:1 ICU training later this winter or early spring.
Prior to becoming an RN, I worked as an RPN for 10 years, with experience in addictions/drug and alcohol treatment, corrections (Solicitor General), medical-surgical, and long-term care.
I’m also currently teaching Anatomy & Physiology to Practical Nursing students and Health Assessment to first-year BScN students, as well as facilitating university courses in the region.
I know everyone’s application is different, but I’d really appreciate hearing from successful applicants about what they believe strengthened their application—especially those who were accepted with a GPA around the 3.0–3.3 range.
Congratulations to everyone who was accepted, and good luck to all the 2027 applicants! ❤️🩺📚

Hi everyone

l've recently received my Letter of

Acceptance from Lakehead University for the

MSc in Mechanical Engineering at the

Thunder Bay campus, starting January 20z

I'm looking for honest advice from current

students, graduates, or anyone familiar with

Lakehead, especially international students.

Would really appreciate it if current students

or alumni could share their experience about:

How much does monthly living cost come

to?

How easy is it to find accommodation and

what's the average rent?

Is it easy to get a part-time job as an

international student?

How is the co-op option and are there

good opportunities?

What are the job opportunities after

graduation?

How are the exams, workload and

academics?

Just looking for some honest advice before I

make my final plans. Thanks!

I think they were trying to start one up but IDK if it ever panned out

For the Chancellor Patterson library!

I’m strongly thinking about applying to the environmental management program and had a some questions. For anyone in it or graduated

How much are you/did you enjoy it overall?
What are some cool opportunities you got to do?
What summer jobs do you typically get?
what jobs are you in or going into after you finish the program
And one last one is on the webpage it talks about undergraduate research. So what research do you get to help with?

Thank you
