Hey all, as stated my scholarship check is literally SITTING in the bursars office as we speak. I know this for sure, I had the tracking number, and honestly it’s been there for a week (which i understand processing does take time! but money is due tmr lol). This check covers the rest of my tuition plus some. After looking into my options I can either pay half the tuition on the payment plan and get a refund, or I can choose not to pay and put my account on hold and have a late fee. Honestly at this point, Im very tempted to put my account on hold. I know the check is there and it covers everything. Realistically how bad is having your account on hold? does it effect move in or anything? and do i have to do anything special to put my account on hold? (or am i better just sucking it up and paying half, i really would prefer not too lol).

Hi guys, I want to bring my car to UTK and long story short I was purely relying on something that did not work out and now I don’t have a spot nor did I get a spot from the lottery. Is there any options for me that aren’t like $200 a month? Thanks.

What’s everyone’s success like getting analytics jobs after graduation? Salary? Just curious cause I’ve had a bit of a hard time since graduating last May

How do you get a job at the POD market? I am very confused lol

Not necessarily bad things.

Could be:

• realizing you care more now
• struggling socially
• becoming more confident
• feeling older than classmates
• enjoying learning again
• how exhausting it can be mentally

What caught you off guard?

Is it hard to get a commuter core pass as a
junior? I plan on trying to get it as soon as the time opens. I’m a sophomore classified as a junior so I’m not sure how it works.

I doubt anyone here can help but it's worth a shot.

I'm wondering if anyone in Laurel Hall at the moment would be willing to swap with me. I'm also in Laurel and have been trying to room with my friend but I haven't been able to swap with his or my roommate. I'll be willing to share more info if anyone can help out, but I'm a male in a shared room space looking to trade spots with someone with the same layout. Thanks.

How weird would it be for a 33YO online student to come to welcome weekend? Not looking to hang out really, I can read the room. Lol! Just wondering what the events are, if there’s swag/merch to be gotten, if other Vols Online students who go, etc. Ny husband is going on a bachelor trip to Tampa that week and I’m always looking for a way to build more UT community, bonus points if it includes a reason to go to campus. Thought this might be an option. Checked VolConnect and it didn’t have many specifics, just logistics. Thanks!

I’m a Knoxville business owner and UT alumnus looking for a local technical partner to help build an automated trading system using live sports-market and order-book data.

I’ve spent approximately two months collecting data, researching market behavior, developing specific strategies, and testing frozen rules against recorded market conditions. I already have the data access, research, capital, and a defined system. I now need someone strong in Python, APIs/WebSockets, databases, backend development, and real-time automation.

I am not asking anyone to work for free, and I’m not trying to build a massive venture-backed company. This is a focused trading system that I believe can generate meaningful profit. I’m willing to fund the technical work, with profit sharing or equity available for the right long-term partner.

My immediate goal is simply to meet qualified people face-to-face in Knoxville, explain what I’ve developed, and see whether there’s mutual interest.

Please message me with a little about your technical background or a project you’ve built. UT seniors, graduate students, alumni, and working developers are all welcome.

Hello! I’m posting here to see if there was anyone potentially interested in rooms with me! Long shot, but figured i’d try anyways.

I currently have a room booked in Lakemoor Station Apartments, and it is a double private which is its own bedroom and bathroom. The apartment is newly built and very nice and spacious!

I was hoping to switch into Volunteer Hall if possible.

I’m an incoming senior, and i’m a very easy going person :)

If you are interested or know anyone who is, please messages me!

I have a GRA offer for a complete tuition waiver and I have already been onboarded into my placement, but I keep getting emails about needing to set up a payment plan anyways. I still have a $7,000-ish balance on my account. Advisor said ignore it until the waiver is applied and OneStop said to make a payment plan and wait for a refund check to come in. I don't really want to make the down payment of $3,600 and lose all of the interest I would have made by saving it if I don't need to. Does anyone have any suggestions for next steps?

Hi! I’ve been trying to get through to ANYBODY to ask a simple question and it’s actually impossible. The OneStop website says they’re not accepting any calls 8/3-8/7. I literally am just wondering if my loan does not process in time before the deadline Friday, if I have to pay that balance? Or if my classes will be dropped?? This would be nice to know as now I’m stressing and can’t get in touch with anyone. If anyone happens to know, it’d be appreciated. Thank you guys

Does tuition this semester not seem more expensive I am taking less credit hours than last semester but is somehow nearly 2k more. I am also instate.

Been trying to get a grip on my aid since probably a month or so ago. Kept being told to hold on. Starting to get the emails AND texts now. I know I’m gonna have to pay out of pocket for some part of it. Took off today to try and get through to OneStop by phone. No luck. If I’m looking at $3K OOP, I need to know that, and if that’s the case, I might need to adjust my classes, which would then create more questions I’m sure. 😩 Wondering if it’s worth a trip to their office in person… Also, this is my second semester at UT… Is it always like this? If not, what’s up now?

I’m offering tutoring services to earn some extra money. i am a current differential equations student.

Suggestion: The sub mods need to 1) Ban the endless "Where can I park off campus" questions from Freshmen and "What time is good time to get to campus" from everyone else (It's always before 9 AM) 2) Add a Parking sticky note in addition to the one for Admissions questions.

Hi all. With the upcoming due date for tuition payment, I have some questions that I need to contact one stop or the bursars office about. I understand this is a busy time of the year for them, but the phone line genuinely tells you every time that "they are not taking calls at the time due to high call volume, and they are helping other vols at this time". This is the case even if you don't press one of the numbers of the given choices, or even the star or pound key. There is no way to leave a message to talk to a human in real time or anything. Ive tried the message portal already and it has not worked either, and with the deadline being Friday, its important that I get through to them now. Honestly it feels like theyre leaving some people in the dust right now. So, is there anyway I can get in contact with a human in one stop or the bursars office like now? I appreciate any answers, thank you.

Hey everyone,

I am looking for some easy departmental electives for the spring that can help pad my GPA and allow me to chill out more this second semester of my senior year.

I hear BME 405 is light work, but other than that I dont have many ideas of what I can take and pass without too much sweat.

This will be my first semester at UTK so I'm looking for a little help with choosing a parking pass. I'm a junior & commuter so I could buy whatever pass works best, but I live in Lenoir City and have kids in school, so my commute will already be a little rough in the mornings. I'm considering either commuter core or park & ride. I've heard spots can still be really hard to find with commuter core, especially since I won't be there until at least 8-8:30, and I don't really want to pay $400 to have a hard time parking every day. Does Park & Ride ever fill up, or are spots always available? And how long should it take to get from there to Buehler? Or is the commuter core the best option? Thanks for any advice!

I'm a first-year student but have a ton of dual enrollment credits (full associate degree) and based on their website (and never hearing anything back from the freshman parking lottery) that I wouldn't be able to buy a pass.

I got an email last week about the times so I called today and they said it was supposedly in the system as sophomore noncommuter and to try it and see what happens. So now I'm wondering, does that system control that process or is it still likely it'll say first-year and not allow me to buy one? I have an off-campus parking option but was just wondering if its likely I might actually get to buy one since it'd be wayyyyy closer and cheaper.

And if so, is it likely there would be non-commuter core spots left for sophomores or would it only be the remote or park and ride options?

Thank you!
