UBC In-person Lecture Schedule
Students are encouraged to check this schedule periodically, since there may be changes or updates. This schedule is found at Schedules, Fees & Forms.
Assignment Submission Update
Did you know that assignments are no longer due strictly at noon on Wednesdays and may not necessarily be due within an even two-week spread? Check the Assignment Due Date Schedule to ensure you have all the correct assignment due dates for your course so you will not be late in your assignment submission. Better yet, ensure you submit all your assignments by the due date so you have a better chance of qualifying for your exam (for courses in Levels 4 and PACE).
Important Assignment Submission Reminders
When you are submitting course assignments, it is important to note the following:
- The correct naming convention to save the file (assignment) is:
FirstnameLastnameStudentnumberAssignmentnumber (e.g., JoanMacDonald2222222Assignment2)
*Do not include spaces or non-alphanumeric text such as dashes (-) or pound signs (#) when naming your assignment
-
Your name, student ID and assignment number should appear on the first page of each assignment submitted
- Do not complete the multiple-choice questions within this Word document
- Do not include the assignment question(s) with your submission
- Ensure that the work contained in your assignment submission is your own.
- Assignments will be scanned for plagiarism. See the Assignment Copying Regulations for more details.
- While copying and pasting from Excel to Word—in Excel, highlight only what is necessary (not the whole sheet) and copy/paste into the Word document.
For more detailed information, please refer to the FAQs in the left navigation bar in the Assignment Submission area found in Blackboard OLE.
**If the above instructions are not followed, your assignment will not be marked and you will receive a grade of zero.
Backorders
| TX2 (Session 3) on backorder until Jan 30, 2009 |
Are you ready to graduate?
Have you just completed your final CGA course?
Have you completed your practical experience requirement?
Have you completed your degree requirement?
If you answered YES to all the above questions then you are a potential graduate for the upcoming session.
Last date to submit your graduation application - Monday, February 2nd, 2009
For more details, see Eligibility.
No More PEAQ Deadline
We have removed the deadline for submitting a Practical Experience Assessment Questionnaire and instead are requiring students at Level 4 and above to submit one PEAQ each academic year until the experience requirement has been fulfilled. The PEAQ is available under the Practical Experience tab of our website. In order to avoid any delays, if you are planning to graduate soon, please ensure you submit your final PEAQ six to eight weeks before the graduation deadline.
The demand for CGA members and students is scorching. For proof, see the Hot Jobs page updated weekly. If you haven’t already signed up to CGAjobs.org, do so. And don’t forget to post your resumé to the site.
What's New in Your Life and Career?
Fellow students, members and Association staff want to hear about your successes in school, at work and in other aspects of your life. Tell us all about it to be featured in Outlook, the all-member and student magazine. Or maybe you know of a student who is too humble to blow their own horn. Let us know of [jreid#cga-bc,org]story ideas and students to profile for Sessions, the student newsletter that comes in every issue of Outlook.
Heads Up will return on January 9, 2009.
Happy Holidays to You and Your Family
