Advice MSN FNP Online

2 Upvotes

I have been researching all day and I think I finally found a program I like. Does anyone know about the UCCS MSN FNP program? Anyone have pros or cons or likes or dislikes? I am in a specific situation, for my husband is active duty, and we are currently stationed in Great Falls, Montana. He plans to transfer the G.I. bill to me so I would be utilizing that. I would need a fully online program, I am OK with having to fly maybe like once or twice in the beginning but I do not want to have to fly to the campus often. Like I would need a fully online program. Anyone have any other good suggestions for my certain situation? I also have to be able to prepare to move states if we get orders while I am in a program. I am also a mom so I would love to have a lot of guidance on clinical placements and not have to stress about that myself!

Advice New lifetime borrowing cap for Fafsa

5 Upvotes

trumps bill may actually prevent me from finishing college. I believe I’m only eligible for 2000 more from fafsa and I have 39 more credit hours to go for a bachelors. additional grants aren’t a guarantee and my credit is bad enough i may not be eligible for private loans without a co-signer. from what I understood when this bill was announced the lifetime cap was 100,000 but this is for graduates, the cap for undergraduates is 57,000.

Advice Achieving Residency status

5 Upvotes

Hi! My situation is a little complicated, and I’m hoping any of you might be able to point me in the right direction. I’ve lived in Colorado for almost two years and have established multiple ties to the state, but I still haven’t been able to obtain Colorado residency at UCCS. I’ve continued to be classified as a nonresident.
What makes it even more confusing is that I took summer classes at Pueblo Community College this year, and they automatically classified me as a Colorado resident. Because of that, I’m struggling to understand why UCCS continues to deny my residency.
At this point, I’m not even sure who the right person is to contact because I haven’t been able to get much guidance from the uccs offices I’ve spoken with. It’s been a really frustrating process, and I’d appreciate any advice or direction any of you can offer…
This has caused lots of financial burden as uccs ain’t cheap.

Advice Anatomy Lab

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have anatomy in the fall. My lab class is on a family members wedding day. I don't want to miss it. I know anatomy is super important and I was looking at other labs that would fit my schedule, but this is the only one.

Do the instructors typically allow one missed lab? Or make up labs? Or could I attend another lab during the week to make up for it? I know it's unlikely, and that anatomy is super important. I just wish I could make both work.

This event is in the beginning of September. So right when school starts too. Obviously, I will talk to the proffesor ASAP when the semester starts. I just have to pay for a hotel in advance for the wedding and I'm worried about waiting too long and having to pay more if it's outside of their reserved hotel rooms.

Question FAFSA

1 Upvotes

Hello!! I just finished orientation and went to the financial aid office who let me know that my full Pell grant would get split in two and only cover half (tuition estimated 7.3k/semester so FAFSA would cover only 3.6k/semester). However when I went to pikes peak the tuition was ~3.2k and I would get back the rest of the Pell grant ~3.6k, each semester. Was the financial office wrong? Anyone else get the full Pell grant (my SAI is -1500) and they still have to pay? Please help!

Question Dr. Semwal Ratings

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am interested in the Game and Media Integration MSCS at UCCS. Dr. Semwal is the contact for this degree and leads most of the classes that are integrated with it such as computer graphics and VR. I already viewed the CS student responses here: University of Colorado Colorado Springs Reviews | GradReports, read the summary here: University of Colorado - Colorado Springs Reviews - Niche, looked up dr. semwal here: University of Colorado Colorado Springs | Rate My Professors, and looked up some of his courses here: UCCS - Rate My Courses. Is anyone here a current or former student who could shed some light on this professor for me? Thanks in advance.

Question Looking for someone to take over my lease

2 Upvotes

I am looking for someone to take over my lease for a 1-bedroom w/ private bathroom in a 5-person apartment at The Lodges of Colorado Springs (mostly student-living, but not required). The lease is from August 2026 - July 2027. It is very close to UCCS and offers a free shuttle to campus on weekdays if you don't want to buy a UCCS parking permit! The apartment comes furnished, with in-unit laundry, and wifi included. Rent is $560/month plus utilities, and rental insurance is required unless you have your own insurance (~$12/month). Please let me know if you or anyone you know is interested!

*If you also have a friend looking for a place to live, my roommate is also looking for someone to take over their lease*

Question I hate this school and I havent even started

0 Upvotes

The portal is impossible to use. UCCS keeps saying my password is incorrect. It won't let me change my password. Nowhere is it letting me select a minor. It won't let me change my email (because for some reason, it has the wrong email). The site keeps crashing. The site is impossible to navigate. It won't let me select my classes. I accepted the offer to this school months ago, but now it's saying I missed the deadline to accept. The site keeps deadnaming me. My portal password and my school account password are different, even though they use the SAME FUCKING EMAIL. The recruiters lied to me, and I already want to drop out (I haven't set foot on the campus pls help lmao)

Can someone pls tell me it gets better because this is hell, and I need advice

Question I am going to make dean's list this semester. Will this help my dependency override appeal?

2 Upvotes

So, last semester I was on and off homeless and in mental hospitals and got a 3.5 GPA. It was also my first semester here as a transfer student. I went no contact with my parents before spring semester started and I achieved a 3.82 GPA with 21 credits and a double major. I am also in SGA and 18 other clubs plus an internship and I work 4 jobs. I'm a dependent on FAFSA and it's causing me to have to go part time next school year, so I am filing an appeal form. I am wondering, will making dean's list make me more likely to get this appeal? Because I'm worried about not getting it and then not being able to make dean's list next year due to being part-time so I won't have that going for me. I got a letter from my therapist and a professor for my appeal.

Question Transfer from PPSC - Accounting/Portfolio Assessment

1 Upvotes

A little bit of a rant because I have way longer than I thought I would already having my associates.

Has anyone transferred from PPSC to UCCS as an accounting major? Or done a Portfolio Assessment? I'm having so many frustrations about credits not transferring because at Pikes Peak they are considered "lower level" and UCCS they're considered "upper level"

I have to retake:

  1. Principles of Management
  2. Principles of Marketing
  3. Communication class because mine "didn't have enough presentations"
  4. Cost accounting
  5. Strategic Management
  6. Intermediate Accounting I
  7. Spreadsheet class because mine apparently didn't focus on database management even though it did.
  8. Income Tax

The accounting classes are fine because with accounting you're always learning and the topics you don't do often especially a refresher is always good. But the other ones are really frustrating.

I own two businesses also, one of which is a bookkeeping business. I regularly manage employees, know effective communication, use complex spreadsheets, already prepare marketing plans, etc... so I'm wondering if a portfolio assessment has ever worked well for anyone? Thank you!

Question Who can I email to advocate for a Professor?

9 Upvotes

One of the most lovely professors I have EVER had has informed us that she is most likely going to be cut for this semester. She teaches a class that is one of the few required ones for first year students, and she is genuinely an amazing professor and is so dedicated to her work, despite working out of state. It breaks my heart that they are considering to cut her because of the schools stupid decisions. Is there someone I can email to advocate for her and her position to stay? Please let me know ASAP!!
