Science, Applied Science & Engineering (SASE)

Welcome to the faculty of Science, Applied Science and Engineering - our nickname is SASE (pronounced "sassy"). We can't wait to see what you will do as a SASE student in year one. First year university is a big step and you will need to use new resources and information to negotiate some of the hurdles ahead.  Please review our First Year SASE Registration Manual for info on course registration and preparation for first year academics in SASE. You can also expand your knowledge of campus life by checking out the UNBSJ New Student Guide.


 

Do I have to attend an advising session?

2013/14 First Year SASE Registration ManualYes.  All new students entering SASE for their first year at UNBSJ MUST BE ADVISED by the Undergraduate Academic Advisor before they may register for courses.  You will not be able to register for courses without this approval.  At the advising sessions, the advisor will discuss course registration as well as strategies for having success in first year university.

There are several ways to be advised:

  • Group Advising Sessions - RECOMMENDED OPTION.  Upcoming dates - Tuesday, June 18, 6pm & Tuesday, July 23, 6:00 pm, Hazen Hall 239.  Group advising offers you the opportunity to sit with a number of incoming students and participate in a presentation on the 1st Year at UNBSJ .  These sessions often generate a number of interesting questions due to the group discussion format.  Students may stay after the session to register courses in our computer labs with assistance from student volunteers.  Pre-registration is not required for these events.  It is recommended that you arrive at least 15 minutes beforehand for online account approval.
  • Individual Advising Session - appointments may be made for one on one advising appointments by going to the UNBSJ online scheduling system.  First go to the create an account with your student id number, view the SASE schedule page and select an open time slot.  Selecting the time slot will send an email to both you and the Undergraduate Advisor reminding you of the appointment.
  • Online Advising / Advising via Skype / Telephone - this is reserved for students who cannot conveniently attend a group or live individual session.  To make arrangements, contact Scott Thomas the Undergraduate Academic Advisor.

The UNBSJ New Student Guide can provide you with more info for your first year university experience.

PLEASE NOTE - Register ALL COURSES at once - both Fall AND Winter sessions.  Changes may be made later if required.
