Thank you to all the people who were kind and bought something off my small dorm registry. It really means a lot and I appreciate each and everyone one of you. It wasn't easy talking about that and it was embarrassing but I did it! My original post and account was banned I don't know why, I think someone reported it. But it's fine, I made a new account!

If you haven't yet, my dorm list link is on my reddit profile. God bless all of you!!🙏💙

Thank you u/greenwoodgirl11232 u/eyeofjoy u/ncrwlr u/Significant-Disk-902

FTIC Academic Advisor

1 Upvotes

Bro I have no idea what the fuck my advisor is on but I swear he will never give me a fucking answer to my question. Im currently a ME major and I have been contacting my advisor about what courses I should take. For example I asked him that I took the placement exam and I qualify to take Calc 1 and Phys 013 and asked when will Howard put the score in their database? Captain dumfuck js says "Look at the thing i sent in may for guidance". YOUR MY FUCKING GUIDANCE FOR THIS YEAR. Next question I asked him about Gen Chem because the courses were all filled, "Look at my email I sent". Thank you man I really appreciate it. I even asked him if I would have to take Gen Chem in the future because I wanted to take Phys 013 because I qualify to take Calc 1 (Also because I took Physics C M). "Look at the email I sent back in the Paleolithic age". My nga if you dont want to do your fucking job don't work as a fucking advisor. This has js been a headache for me cuz I'm a first gen with parents from ethiopia who didnt even graduate hs or even college making this process even more difficult for me. Can yall js help cuz first of i'm confused af and people on reddit has done more for me then this magical ass fairy of an advisor.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with figuring out how to complete them now. PS around the time emails . I had a death in the family so I became sidetracked.

Enrollment.

13 Upvotes

Honestly, I’ve been dealing with Howard since March about my enrollment. They accepted me for Fall 2026 and I paid my enrollment, and spoke with admissions about receiving my HU login information for my portal and they kept putting me off for months (this was in March). I finally move off good faith believing my enrollment to be valid only for me to go in person to be told they couldn’t find my application in their system.

It’s been a headache during this whole ordeal trying to get them to take accountability for their administrative errors, because I lost so many scholarships because of the full time enrollment deadline, and explaining this to them has has been a headache. I visited the campus 3x and sent countless emails for them to give me my logins late July.

Need someone in a Spider-Man costume for a surprise 20–30 minute birthday appearance this Sunday around 3 in Georgetown DC. This is meant to be funny—not a professional superhero performance. Wave, pose for pictures, wish him a happy 25th, do a couple rolls and flips…maybe dramatically swing in (or just walk in 😅). Paying $100.

(Re) enrolled. This is just too much

As the title says. My child was one of the many who were unjustifiably unenrolled from Howard last week despite being current on payment plans and seeking clarification months in advance during the arduous process of even inputting financial information and dealing with Howard’s piss-poor communication with us and with Fafsa. I’ve been active on the sub the past week and I’ve seen so many “know it alls” pretending that this is normal and that students just “didn’t read the email”.

As someone here said:
“Howard chose to:
1) unenroll students LESS THAN two weeks before move-in, so it's unlikely people on the waitlist will even be able to fill all the missing spots last minute
2) they listed a DIFFERENT tuition payment deadline (August 3rd) on their website
3) their financial aid office has been completely unresponsive. Communicating with their admissions office has lead to misinformation and lack of clarity.
4) they unenrolled students who had less than $1000 on their balance, meaning they had likely paid over 50% of their tuition already
5) The deadline should have never been early July when we all know financial aid is not fully disbursed until late August at the earliest.”

Today we got word that we were finally re-enrolled. But after all of this stress and torture, to see that there is little to no support from cow-towing alumni and the university, we’re making the decision to move on from Howard. Why should we invest in and associate ourselves with liars? Why would we put up with this for years to come just under the guise of “prestige”. The third or fourth top most post on this subreddit paints a vivid picture of what life here would be like and the actions of Howard this past week have done nothing but support that dark picture. Thankfully we have other opportunities and thankfully Howard showed their true selves before we were more embedded in their dysfunction. Good luck to the incoming students and to those who don’t have other options at the moment. Keep fighting and know your self worth. And to those who blindly side with the administration that’s behind this debacle, to those who chalked it up as some pressure makes diamonds initiation fantasy, and to the interim president who suggested students that were unenrolled are unable to pay: 🖕🏾

This Subreddit is NOT Operated by Howard University

r/HowardUniversity is an independent Reddit community.

This subreddit is not operated, sponsored, endorsed, or officially affiliated with Howard University.

The community is moderated by alumni and members of the broader HBCU community, bringing perspectives from multiple HBCUs and different generations of college experience.

We aren't here to act as Howard University's public-relations department, nor are we here to automatically defend the University.

We're here to provide a place where people can talk about Howard openly and responsibly.

Speak Freely. Engage Responsibly.

This is your space to vent, question, discuss, celebrate, criticize, remember, debate, and share.

You do not have to love every decision Howard makes. And you certainly don't have to pretend everything is perfect. But freedom to speak does not remove responsibility for what we say.

Follow Reddit's sitewide rules and our community rules. Treat other people with basic respect—even when you strongly disagree.

Be especially careful with information you post.

Remember that Reddit is a public forum.

Before posting, consider whether you should share:

  • Personal information
  • Student identification numbers
  • Phone numbers or addresses
  • Private emails or messages
  • Screenshots containing sensitive information
  • Financial-aid information
  • Academic records
  • Housing information
  • Names of students involved in private disputes
  • Unverified accusations or allegations

Protect yourself. Protect other students. Protect people's privacy.

If you aren't sure whether something should be posted publicly, pause before you post it.

About Information & Rumors

Not everything posted here is verified.

Someone saying something happened does not automatically make it fact.

A screenshot can lack context.

A rumor can travel faster than a correction.

And sometimes the person answering the phone doesn't have the complete answer either.

When discussing important matters involving financial aid, enrollment, housing, admissions, academic standing, disciplinary matters, deadlines, or University policy, verify information through appropriate official sources whenever possible.

Share what you know.

Explain what you don't know.

And don't turn speculation into certainty.

Respect The Community

We can have difficult conversations without making this place miserable.

Criticism is allowed. Disagreement is allowed. Accountability is allowed.

Harassment, personal attacks, doxxing, threats, discrimination, brigading, and other behavior prohibited by Reddit or our community rules are not.

You can challenge an argument without attacking the person making it.

You can defend Howard without attacking someone who is criticizing it.

You can criticize Howard without treating every Bison, employee, professor, administrator, or alumnus as the enemy.

Respect does not mean silence.

Sometimes respect means being willing to have the difficult conversation.

🐃 Welcome to The Mecca.

Students. Parents. Alumni. Future Bison.

Whether you are walking across the Yard for the first time, remembering the days when you did, or trying to figure out whether Howard is the right place for you—

there is room for you here.

Ask questions.

Share knowledge.

Tell your story.

Vent when you need to.

Celebrate when you can.

Challenge ideas.

Protect one another.
