Hello everyone, I am a international master’s student Currently i am at my last semester working on thesis. But recently my professor said that he thinks i need some more time to complete the thesis. So can i apply for 0 unit RCL to the international office for the spring 27?

I appreciate any suggestions any help i am feeling very conscious about the immigration policy and others things.

I’m an Econ major transferring in spring.

Any upper class men Econ major I can reach out to about upper div courses?

So Im not sure anyone else has had this issue where the school has made you complete documents for FAFSA verification, but because of it I still haven’t received anything and I’m not sure what to do. Last time I called they said I just had to wait, but with spring registration coming up, I fear it might affect my enrollment since my Cal Grant is on Hold.

Has anyone else gone through with this? If so what should I do?

When can we expect to see this hit accounts? 😩👀

Does anyone know why the MCS is not showing up at all in my awards? I got it last fall but I don’t see it at all showing up for me

I took a different car to class today and forgot to switch my permit over. Is there a way to check if I got a parking violation without the ticket #??

My MCS was accepted on GET!!! Im sure it won't disburse until monday the earliest though.

i got a ticket for parking $60, and trying to appeal it, but been 2 days they still haven't responded yet, does anyone have any ideas how long it's take them? and first time will it easy to get approved?

I don’t want to kill myself. At least, I’m certain of that right now. But I think about it constantly, and I’ve attempted it a handful of times; it’s frightening to live with thoughts that keep returning, even when some part of me still wants to be here.

I’ve dealt with depression for most of my life. I’ve tried therapy, medication, talking to friends, keeping busy, and finding things to care about. I have close friends, a best friend, hobbies, and my cat; still, the thoughts find me in the quiet spaces, especially on the drive home after spending time with friends. I hate that nothing seems to make them stay away for long.

I hate feeling this way. I hate feeling like an incel, like I need a relationship to feel normal. I felt most like myself when I was with my ex, and I don’t want to believe that I need to be with someone to feel okay again. What does it say about me that I miss feeling that way?

Lately, nothing excites me the way it used to. I’ve caught myself caring less about the future, telling myself I’ll probably kill myself someday anyway. But I don’t want to think that way. I want a future. I want to reach my goals and see what my life becomes. I’m supposed to graduate this semester, and I wish I could feel happy about it. I hope I get to experience it.

Earlier this year, after watching Project Hail Mary—a movie I’d been looking forward to after reading the book—I thought I was going to kill myself. I didn’t. I was scared, and eventually the thoughts passed. But they keep coming back, and I’m tired of carrying them alone.

It may sound small, but I hope I’m here long enough to see Godzilla Minus Zero, maybe even Dune III. I hope I get to see what else is waiting for me, too.

I truly hope no one has ever felt this way or even feels this way, but If anyone has felt the same way, how have you handled these thoughts?

It’s hitting soon yall. My gf called and they told her first week of November. We all thought it would come this month.

The only good thing about this whiteboard is the human brain diagram. Anything but studying for midterms 🤣✌️

What do you guys think my chances of getting in are for mechanical engineering

why did they add the word winter?? is it still just for spring semester classes.. im confused LOL! also what day did they assign for you guys?

He is my lab instructor for a biology course, and honestly, the only reason I ended up in his section was because it was the only one that fit my schedule. I genuinely wish I had picked someone else.

First of all, he basically teaches nothing. And I mean absolutely nothing. At least the professor who teaches the lecture portion of this course bothers to read from the slides. This instructor doesn't even do that.

He's late to every single class. I'm genuinely not exaggerating. The funniest part? He constantly sends us emails reminding us not to be late. Meanwhile, he strolls into class about ten minutes after it's already started, pulls up some exercises on Canvas, and leaves us to figure everything out on our own for the entire three-and-a-half-hour lab session.

And the dissection labs? Even worse. He just puts the specimens on the tables and tells us to find the instructions on Canvas ourselves. No demonstrations, no actual guidance, nothing. We're literally trying to figure out how to dissect something we've never worked with before, and if we make a mistake, he berates us. Like, seriously? How are we supposed to know what we're doing when you haven't taught us anything in the first place?

Second, he has a very heavy, low-pitched accent and constantly mixes Spanish words into what he's saying. If you're sitting more than three meters away from him, good luck understanding a single word. At first, I honestly thought it was just me because I come from an immigrant family. But then I asked classmates who grew up here, and guess what? They couldn't understand him either.

Third, and probably the worst part, he seems to love pressuring and targeting students. It's almost like we're paying thousands of dollars in tuition just to sit there and put up with his snide, passive-aggressive comments.

If he decides he doesn't like you, good luck. Unfortunately, I became one of his targets. He constantly singles me out during class, and during exams, he calls my name at least three times. Every single exam. It's honestly exhausting and incredibly stressful. I'm already trying my best to keep up with a demanding biology course, and now I have to deal with an instructor who seems determined to make the experience even more miserable.

Fourth, he's completely irresponsible. There's no contact information for him on Canvas, no office location, nothing. I even went out of my way to search for his email address on the official Cal State LA website because I needed to ask him a question. I reached out and never got a response.

I honestly don't understand how an instructor this irresponsible is still employed.

If you end up taking his lab, just understand that you're basically paying tuition to teach yourself the entire course. Don't expect actual instruction, don't expect useful guidance, and definitely don't expect much support.

I'm a first-year student, and this instructor has genuinely made my life miserable. I regret every dollar I've spent on this class. College is stressful enough already, and having an instructor who constantly targets you while barely teaching anything makes it so much worse.

And if you're planning to take a BIOL course with him, you'd better give him a real run for his money. After all, you're the one paying to be here.

If anyone wants more details about my experience, feel free to reach out. I'd also genuinely like to hear from other students who have been treated unfairly in his class. I seriously doubt I'm the only one who's had to deal with this.

Incoming Econ Transfer student.

Was wondering how upper division classes are?

I’m planning on taking about 15-18 units to try and graduate sooner than my expected grad date.

Can anyone share their experiences with upper division courses? And does anyone know about upper division Econ courses provided during the summer and winter term?Best professors? How’s the workload?

I got my CIN and my PIN and once I log in it says I have nothing to do on my to do list. Will this update? And how do I see application status?

Does anyone know how it works? Or will I have to wait until Spring 2028?

First semester at CSULA hence why I'm not sure how this works. My appointment is today. Just to clarify something. This day is just to put the classes and teachers we want on hold on our shopping cart? we can't enroll yet right? we have to wait until the actual enrollment appointment to enroll? because this seems a bit confusing to me.

Thanks.

My scholarship used to cover it but they put me in a double and now i have to pay a lot more than i can so my scholarship can at least cover my education.how are you guys doing it?😖

I am gonna be off this country for three months during the summer break and why do I have to pay for my absence with additional 550(1,277/7months*3months)
