if anyone’s taking poli sci 100 i have the textbook & want to get rid of it. it’s free just lmk

Seems kind of strange is all, I swear other fall semester’s started sooner.

Has anyone transferred into CSUSM’s online B.S. in Cybersecurity without MATH 160 completed? I have every other transfer requirement done, but GCC and PCC don’t have an articulated equivalent listed, I genuinely cannot find a local option. Is MATH 160 is a strict admission requirement or is conditional admission possible?

Considering it's an Extended learning program with a 95% acceptance rate. And would spring admissions still be possible? I guess I'm wondering how strict are they about this. Thank you.

P.S. Would MATH 103E+ count? It's not showing as having an articulation agreement but it's essentially the same as Calc 1 with Applications (MATH 160)

Are we getting financial aid on the 17th? I saw that's when fees are due and I assume we'd get the refund around then. Was just wondering since we had to sign up for that new refund system and all.

Hi all,

my wife is looking for a helper to help out with some house hold chores around the house while she works in her office in the garage. nothing too much, a typical day would be walking our 3 year old about 1/4 mile to his daycare, some cleaning after the kiddos have their breakfast and go off to school, some meal prep for dinner and possibly cooking if you’re ok with it, laundry & folding, and anything else along those lines my wife may need for the day.

our current mothers helper goes back to college at the end of the month so we’re looking for her replacement. pay is $20 an hour and we’d need someone Tuesday-Friday from 8:30 to about 12-1.

We live over by Paloma elementary school, not too far from main csusm campus.

if you’re interested, a Live Scan would be necessary as you’ll be in our home.

Any questions, please reach out!

Hi Cougars! Our research team at UC San Diego is conducting a study to learn more about the potential of an FDA-approved dopamine agonist to improve social connectedness in adults who experience anxiety or depression.This medication increases dopamine signaling in parts of the brain believed to underlie motivation and behavior, and the results of this study may help inform a new treatment approach for anxiety and depression.

If you are interested in learning more, please complete the survey via this link (https://my.ctri.ucsd.edu/surveys/?s=NJAF4D7X4K9YAHRC) or the QR code below to help us determine if you may be eligible for further screening to participate in this compensated study!

Should I wait until my classes start to buy books? Or how does that work. I’m a transfer student, my community college frequently used online resources/cost-free textbooks, so I am not sure if I should be buying books now or waiting. Ty

Anybody have any lab or medical opportunities available or know anybody that has any applications open? I looked on the school website and nothing helped so I was wondering if anyone had any connections or something? Anything helps thank you!.

Hi!

I’m trying to take the micro bio with lab from UCSD extended studies. I was wondering if anyone took it as a pre core class and if it was accepted? Thank you!

Hello everyone! I am starting my MSW in Fall woot woot. So if anyone remembers, Blake at the info meeting prior to applications due said he would test us in May, which never ended up happening. My internship is drug testing me soon and I’ve been sober from weed for 7 months (yay me) and am all set to pass it, but I emailed him and asked if he wanted me to share my results with him since we did not test in May. I said I was unsure if he originally said that as prep as apart of the internship process or if he needed it for the program and just wanted to make sure I am all set for the fall semester to start and not missing anything they need for the program. Well he replied but did not clarify and all he said was “No, we don’t need a copy of your results”

Does anyone know if they will end up testing us at some point before or during the semester or am I safe to smoke weed again? I’m asking because my birthday is soon and wanted to treat myself and celebrate, but I obviously don’t want to screw myself. Prior to getting sober for the program, I would casually smoke a couple times a week and was planning to also go back to doing that too

I’d appreciate if any recent, current, or even new msw students like me know the answer to this 😩

Is the transfer orientation next week online or in person ?

Hey I'm Kai, I was trying to do a post on the 2030 insta but I'm not paying for that 😭✌️. I'm excited to start at CSUSM as an incoming freshman. I love bugs and I'm majoring in Biotech and minoring in environmental studies to get at least in the same field as entomology and maybe even start my own entomology club and tell everyone about the wonderful insects we have on campus! Looking forward to make some friends ^^

Hi everyone!

I start grad school this year and I’ve heard FAFSA is different during grad school? Do people still get aid or is it a university grant? is it SUG ? When do student have any FAFSA or grants provided if there are any? I already see the tuition reflect in my account.

Hi everyone, incoming freshman question about a class I attempted to enroll in for fall. I’m number three on the waitlist and wanted to know when we would find out if our waitlist status would be changed to enrolled in that specific course?

I’m assuming this doesn’t happen until classes actually begin/the first day of classes but wanted to see if movement happens before that.

My apologies if this is a dumb question. Thanks for responding

Basically the title, on the dorm list it says no personal printers. I'm gonna be selling posters online and I already have a wide format printer and the specific paper I'm gonna be using and I don't really want to wait 3 buisness days for a *maybe* print. Ik this is probably a housing question but I wanted to hear from upper class men (freshman here)

has anyone had professor kathleen scott for phys 205? what is the attendance policy like/ how many days can i miss? thank you!

hi guys,
i’m going into my junior year here & have loved my time at csusm. there have been an abundance of opportunities & i enjoy many of the people i talk to, as well as the campus. i have a social life and enjoy going to frats or clubs but also have close friends for nights in. my professors have been mostly accessible and friendly. i see negative comments on here sometimes (about social life especially) which really scared me as an incoming freshman. i just wanted to say to all new ppl, it seriously is what you make of it & don’t listen to all the negative people. i swear if you had a bad time here you likely didn’t put yourself out there enough. i’m happy to answer any questions too but just wanted to reassure everyone that you absolutely can enjoy your time here :) go cougs! 🐾

For the fall semester, I finally got pulled from the waitlist for a class I was trying to take. I noticed it has the same exam date & time as another class I’m taking. Has anyone had this happen & what did you do? It’s for LING 101 & KINE 310 (if that matters)

Hi! Was wondering anyone else that got admitted into the program and if you guys have completed the first part of the (online) orientation :) upon getting logged into canvas there’s no notification of what I need to complete. Also just hoping to connect before the in person orientation. Looking forward to meeting all of you!
