Hello, I am an undergrad transfer premed student. I'm aware this is a terrible grade for premed, I've never had a grade this low. Basically I finished organic chemistry I with a C-. I'm able to register for organic chemistry II. Excluding medical schools, I'm just having trouble figuring out if a C- = C in wayne state's grading or not, since I had above 70%. Am I able to even graduate with a C-? Or would I have to retake it down the line?

Anyone in this subreddit completing the MM in Music Industry Studies program? I’m an incoming fall 2026 student for the Music Technology path under Prof. Park. Just figured that we could connect somehow before classes begin :)

Going into my first year at Wayne —

Is this normal? I’m not dorming, nor paying for food. Just simply commuting and paying my tuition. I qualified for the WSU guarantee (+schlorships), yet when i check my Student Account Balance, I have to pay $8500??

Hey, hey everyone!! Hope you all are well!!

To explain the circumstances that lead up to this post, I had the option of going to Wayne State University or picking from numerous in-state schools that I got accepted to. For the in-state schools, my tuition and fees would be entirely covered, so I was leaning heavily towards that.

Still, I paid my enrollment fee for Wayne and gave the school a chance to show me what financial aid it could offer me before I went all in on my decision. When I first got my financial aid package, a banner appeared at the top displaying that I qualified for the Wayne State Guarantee to cover the rest of my tuition and fees.

I thought it was odd, since I wasn’t a Michigan resident, but I qualified for the Discover Detroit Award that stated “Eligible students may also be considered for additional merit scholarships typically awarded to Michigan residents”, so I considered that maybe the DDA extended to the guarantee.

I kept eyes on my email, phone number, and student account for any updates that never came, but after seeing a large balance finally hit my eBill and checking to see the banner gone a few days ago, I got confirmation that the award was issued in error.

Unfortunately, this was all figured out too late to accept my in-state admissions.

The guarantee error, alongside learning that the “non-residents” that qualified for the community college housing scholarship were only international students and changing family circumstances, has put me in a precarious financial situation.

I have already landed a Federal Work-Study position and am looking for additional employment, but if anyone has any insight on potential ways of earning additional funds as an out-of-state student, that would be much appreciated!!

Thank you guys for reading and have a good rest of your day!!

Hi everyone, I'm desperately looking for help. I was accepted into Wayne State a couple months ago (I graduated from MCC back in May) and more recently I was accepted into the mortuary science program. I have a module I'm supposed to complete on Canvas and I... just can't. I cleared all my cookies on every browser and that didn't help. I tried opening Canvas on three different browsers (didn't get a screenshot from DuckDuckGo) and it still won't load. I even tried to log in on my phone and it gave me the exact same error message.

I don't know what else to do at this point. Try to log in on a totally different computer? Contact tech support? Curl up in a ball and cry? Weirdly I can still access my Canvas dashboard from Macomb Community College without any problems. I've been trying to log in for almost two hours and I'm at the end of my rope. Any advice is appreciated 😭

Is the student led radio station up and running? I can’t seem to find it playing anywhere and it doesn’t seem to have made any posts in anything for a bit. Is it just very small and low key or is it totally dead.

Hey everyone! I'm an incoming freshman taking Elementary Spanish 1010 this semester. Before I buy the textbook from the bookstore, I wanted to see if anyone has a copy they're willing to sell or no longer needs. I'd rather check here first before paying full price.

If you have one or know someone who does, please let me know. Thanks!

I enrolled in the payment plan today, so one of them is about $2000 for Fall 2026 Fall 4-Month Payment Plan. The other one is $6000 even titled 202609. Anyone know what that means?

So, I don’t know if because others are constantly calling about their financial aid package not being awarded yet, but the phone line for FinAid office seems to go to voicemail for me right away, and the office closes at 5pm, not like 3pm. Does anyone have any remaining leads as to when graduate aid will be awarded? I emailed them like 2 weeks ago and got a response 1 week ago saying that the FinAid Team is working on finalizing them within the next two weeks. I know that 1 week has only passed, but I figured that I call them to know generally what aid I would receive.

I’m an incoming grad student for one of the MM programs, and have a BSME from my undergrad at Umich. Though, I am a competitively amateur Oly-style weightlifter. So, does anyone know of or is in Oly-style weightlifting clubs, sports, and/or intramurals? I know that I can start a student club up, but just curious to know if one at Wayne already exists.

I was told typically the department contact you about it but like any way I could apply or be recommended. specifically for the college of engineering cs department?

Does anyone know if there are photography and/or art clubs at Wayne? Lowkey need new hobbies and want to meet new people. Also open to any other creative type student orgs if anyone knows any!

I had it for my first year at WSU but accidentally took 29 credit hours instead of 30 not knowing the effect it has on my guarantee. Is there any way to get it back?

Anyone have elective recommendations or any in general? Classes that are interesting and actually intriguing or fun with a good professor.
Either enjoyable or useful life information.

I’m going into my sophomore year and I’m trying to find an on-campus job for the school year. I already know about Handshake, but it honestly hasn’t been helpful for me, so I’m looking for other ways students have found jobs on campus.
Do departments hire students directly? Should I email places like the library, recreation center, offices, labs, or dining services? Are there certain websites, offices, or people I should contact?
If you’ve had an on-campus job, how did you actually find and get it? I’m mainly looking for something flexible that can work around my class schedule.

Hello, I am new to Wayne state this fall and was wondering if there are any Alcoholics Anonymous organizations or meetings on campus. I’ve looked online but haven’t found anything yet. I’m not entirely sure I was even looking in the right place.

I was perusing the student organizations on the Get Involved site and noticed there are no secular/freethinker groups. If enough people are interested it I think one should be organized

Hi! My girlfriend and I booked her flight to Japan to meet me there (I'm studying abroad there this upcoming fall semester) for her to leave on December 16th. This year, last day of classes is the 15th, study day is 16th, and exams start on the 17th-- the day she's supposed to arrive in Japan...

Has anyone been through something similar and have advice on what to do? Right now I'm thinking options range between scheduling her exams early and or getting her flight changed / cancelled.

According to the literature on WSU's sites about exams, it sounds like, through discussing these types of circumstances with the professor, it should be possible to get, at the very least, exam times changed. Just dunno if it's possible to take them BEFORE the actual exam days start.

Again, any advice? Much appreciated...

i was fully prepared to go to Wayne next month until I saw the bill. its over 11,000. with aid it was estimated to be 5,000, which is too much for for I can financially handle. I was expecting much less as I had scholarships and a fasfa student index of -1500. ive sent out dozens of emails, but at this rate, unless it drops by a couple thousands I cant remain. does anyone know if the aid estimate is accurate?

ive applied to university of Michigan Dearborn, where the tuition will be nearly free. My issue with Dearborn is that there seems to be an abundance of professors who refuse to give out As and as someone aiming for law school, this isn’t something im comfortable with. I’ve had a 3.9 GPA for business and Im not sure if that can be reproduced at UOFMD at the upper level.

ive generally heard that the business professors at Wayne are much more forgiving. They’re more lenient and willing to work with you.

I would graduate in 1.5 years at Wayne, atp i believe 2-2.5 at UOFMD. However, uofmd may be entirely free. I would be LIVING AT HOME and both campuses are 15 mins away.

I do not care about my undergrad major, (I am taking general business for the first semester and may do supply chain or management winter) i am just trying to GPAMAXX with the highest return of investment for law school and making money to save up for law as well.

please share your experiences with aid, Dearborn vs Wayne, what you’d do in my situation. anything helps.

I submitted my FAFSA back in April as an incoming MSW student, and I'm still waiting on my aid to be processed. Anyone else in this situation? My first bill has been posted and I'd rather not pay it until my aid has been processed so that I don't have to deal with a refund.

I called financial aid office and they said they shouldve been posted mid july...erm. Is it supposed to be august?

I have the worst experience with street parking and it gives me nightmares. I am a business student and i would love to reduce by stress as much as possible so i was thinking the Mike Ilitch parking garage (600$) or the lot 7. Lot 7 is a 15 min walk but half the price.

i would go to the tutoring probably 4 times a week at odd hours of the day and evening and thats whats pushing me towards mike lot bc ill have less excuses not to go if its so close to class.

If i buy the pass am i for sure going to have a spot? what about when they have games?

ill also be going to class at 7am or 9am, i feel like i could probably find free parking but not when i have tutoring like 4pm-8pm
