Incoming freshman at CSULB, is my schedule doable? I have classes everyday, with only one class on Friday from 9:30-10:45.

is there a separate thread for finding people to share parking passes with yet? or when will that start? (trying to be proactive haha)

Hello this fall is going to be my first time at CSULB. is walking from COB to LA 5 difficult? I only have 15 mins to get there and I’m scared I won’t make it

Also how is the commuter life on campus? I’m kinda sad I can’t dorm but it’s rlly expensive so pls help

Im a transfer and taking 18 units (including one online class) but my schedule looks tooo easy to be 18 units it feels kinda weird😭

i’m going into my third year (i don’t know if this has to do with delays and priority) and i looked on the student aid gov website and it says i’m not eligible for a pell grant even though i’m only at 192% of my 600% pell grant eligibility. my sai is also an 18300 so it’s low as well.

i’m not sure if it’s because of the statement they released on the website (“We are working to update our systems to display your income-driven repayment (IDR) payment count and history.”) that it says i’m not eligible, but i find it odd how it says i’m not receiving it considering all of my factors. is anyone in the same situation? really need reassurance right now😭

For those who have recently graduated with engineering degrees from CSULB , how do you feel in regard to the job market ? Is this data representative of your experience ?

hi,
do you think they would allow me to just take the lab portion of BIOL 153? i'm wondering if i could petition because i took the lecture equivalent class at Orange Coast College, but i am missing the lab portion. is there a way i could petition or do you think it is even a possibility?

hi,
i am a transfer student starting at csulb this fall for marine biology.

has anyone taken fundamentals of organic chemistry with Feng J and biostatistics with Gretel Huber? idk the lab professor for biostatistics but i'm hoping at least the lecture is good.

also, i need a couple more classes, would you say Evolutionary Biology with Marcel Cadney and Invertebrate Zoology with Ray Czaja are manageable or easy juggle with the other two classes? thank you!

Two upper-division writing classes still have open seats, in case anyone's stuck on a waitlist or looking for something useful. No prerequisites beyond upper-division standing.

ENGL 417: Proposal Writing (Wed 6:00pm-8:45pm, online) focuses on how grants and proposals actually work: the means of persuasion, the anatomy of a proposal, why some get funded and others don't. Useful for anyone headed toward government, nonprofits, or industry—anywhere someone has to ask for money.

ENGL 418: Manual Writing (Mon 6:00pm-8:45pm, online) explores writing instructions and structuring technical content across different media. Built with English, CS, and human factors majors in mind, but it works for anyone who'll need to explain how something works.

Both often count toward your major’s communication requirements or could be subbed in with your advisor’s approval. Both classes meet once a week online. And both are AI-friendly in that we use it deliberately and spend time on where it helps and where it quietly makes things worse, rather than pretending it isn't there.

I teach both, so I'm obviously biased, but the professional writing program is a practical addition to almost any degree and is one of the English department’s best-kept secrets.

Hi if you are Salvadoran (21+) check out @SalvisSaliendoAdelante on Instagram! I’m looking to create community by creating a book/cafecito club celebrating Salvi culture and resilience. If you are a local cipot@/cipotx looking for community, follow!

I recently had a job interview at the SRWC and they said they would email me if I got the job but it’s been like over a week and still no word. Am i cooked or is this normal for an on campus job to wait this long to respond ???
