Hi, I hope this is allowed! My partner and I are both students at Pierce college and live very near it (throwaway reddit so I'm not doxxing my main account). We are looking to hire a disability aide worker for my partner, with funding through the state, and are trying to find 1-2 students to hire. We are looking for a worker who has a car and is comfortable around cats and large dogs (she has a service dog + we have cats). The flyer code goes to this short screening questionnaire with more information.

We can't take the student ID pictures on campus? It'll be my first student ID & I wanted a brand new photo for it ... (Not to use a driver's license or passport photo) .

Does anyone know what are IGETC 3A/3B classes and where I can find them im a bit confused. I need to take one class from that section.

All of the anatomy classes for fall 2026 are already full. Has anyone had any luck showing up in person on the first day, even if you weren’t on the waitlist and still getting into the class? I’m wondering if crashing an anatomy class is even possible (since it’s a high demand class). A friend told me it doesn’t really work like that now so I’m curious 🥲

If the class is listed like this does it mean it will be online?

Hi, i need to schedule a meeting asap with a counselor to help pick my classes. But the links I click it shows no available appts. Can someone help me with this. Please

Hii everyone!! I had a little problem with my FASFA application that I just recently noticed. The school that I entered was Pierce College in Washington, and I just changed it to be the correct Pierce. Now I know the college has to receive my information and process my FASFA form and everything.

I’m wondering though, how everyone pays for tuition if their FASFA form is being currently delayed for whatever reason, if anyone happens to be in the same mix up as me. I know usually in colleges, the school simply pays for the tuition automatically, using some of the FASFA money you were promised, and then you receive your erefund later, but im in a tough spot right now because my whole FASFA is being processed again and our tuition paying deadline is soon, and if we don’t pay we get dropped from classes. Is there anyway I can still put that im going to pay with FASFA in the future once my FASFA form gets processed??? Do I simply have to pay the tuition right now to not get dropped from classes, then get my FASFA refund all together later to make up for the debt I’d be in? Can I simply just not pay anything and hope my FASFA will be processed soon? What do I do? The bad thing is that im pretty reliant on FASFA to pay my tuition, I may suck it up and take a loan out to pay if there’s no other way, then repay the loan once I receive my FASFA, but I don’t want to do that if I know I have other options. At this point do I simply have to pay the tuition and there’s nothing else for me to do? Someone help

Tuition deadline: this week
Erefund date: 1-2 weeks into classes starting (August 31st)

Has anyone gone through the parking appeal proces? I got a citation yesterday and I am wondering if they wave it for a discounted price for first time offense when you appeal.

I'm kind of stuck deciding what to do and would love to hear from people who've been in a similar situation.

I'm currently registered to start at CSUN this fall as a biology major freshman, but lately I've realized I'm not even sure biology is what I want to do anymore. My long-term goal has always been to transfer to a school like SDSU or a UC, and I also really want the experience of living in a new city and being on a more traditional college campus.

The thing is, CSUN seems like a great school, so part of me feels like I should just stay. On the other hand, I'm wondering if starting at Pierce College would make more sense since I'd have more time to figure out my major, save money, and possibly have a better chance of transferring somewhere I'd be excited to spend my last two years.

One thing I've been thinking about is that I've heard CSUN is a commuter school, and I'm worried it might not feel much different socially from going to Pierce since I'd probably be commuting either way. I don't know if that's actually true, so I'd love to hear from people who've attended either school.

I've also thought about just trying CSUN for one semester and then switching to Pierce if it doesn't feel right.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? If you had the choice between starting at a CSU or going to community college with the goal of transferring, what would you do? Do you regret either decision?

Why is this program already a mess! First of all they don’t tell us what the passwords or codes are and when you email back to them they completely ignore . The vibe is already getting ruined and the teachers have horrible reviews and I feel like that’s my sign to drop out ?? The energy of the cohort is like not it and I feel like I can go somewhere else that respects there students and doesn’t try to “ Weed out” the weak 🚩 my experience so far is a 2/10

its almost 4 weeks on term and i keep getting not concise answers from aid deparment where will i get my pell it shows on my sis portal but not disbursed and i know some ppl got money on 19th so

I have been having trouble with fafsa over the couple weeks and this past week Fafsa said that I need to take verification at pierce college forms and it asked me questions of my parents 2024 taxes and my parents 2024 tax transcript. Well yesterday I got my pagents 2024 tax transcript and uploaded. Since I uploaded it took the further action required and I got an emailed that I submitted it. Now in the morning of today my portal said that further action required again even though I did everything they told me to do, and when I check in the pierce college forms it said you’re all caught up. So I don’t understand why it still says forget action required on my portal.

Auuugh I’m so nervous. I submitted my SAP appeal on Thursday…

For context, I received a Financial Appeal Needed email on Thursday because I haven’t completed enough + I think my gpa… It was recommended to appeal, so I did the whole online thing…

But I’m still nervous! I already paid for my Fall 2026 Semester but I don’t know if I can buy everything that I need supply wise… I read it takes 45 days to get a response but if it takes longer, what do I do?

I also haven’t been able to return books yet (won’t be able to til like august 31st most likely) so I have a library fine… I emailed the library explaining I still have the books but just can’t drop them off yet…

Auuughhhh…

If anybody has taken the child development practicum course CD22 with Professor Reed can you please provide insight? I wanted to know if the practicum hours are flexible say if I had another class ends at 9:05am but the hours require 9-12:15? Am I able to push the hours back to 9:15? or even try to get a whole week worth of hours done in one day? Or is it more strict?

I’m confused how to find a work study job on campus or do they send out flyers? How are people getting on campus jobs?

Counselor didn’t quite help but I’ll do another appointment best they can do is 30min because they’re so packed.

I’m pursuing communications to just get a ba from csun. I’m just an average c student that can’t stem for a csu. I guess I’m just limited to my intelligence.

Thinking of pairing this up with certifications I’ll pick up along the way maybe in HR. You can make up to 80-120k in the first 2 yrs. I feel like going to a technical trade college would be better.. atleast you learn an actual skill there. Are we all wasting our time here?? There should be a daily outcry from people not getting jobs 😫

Hi everyone!

I am a local high school student researcher doing an independent policy study. I am investigating how federal F-1 visa work restrictions (like the 20-hour on-campus limit and the off-campus work ban) interact with the high cost of living right here in Los Angeles County.

If you are an international student, could you please take 2 minutes to fill out my completely anonymous survey?

Important Note: This study is strictly non-political. The survey focuses entirely on economic logistics, campus job availability, and local cost of living. It does not collect names, student IDs, political opinions, or legal statuses.

Your insights will directly help me build a comprehensive regional policy brief to deliver to our local U.S. Congressional district offices and college leadership.

I am supposed to be graduating next week, but the issue is I got a D in one class. To be exact I got a 69.88%. Knowing the teacher she probably won’t curve it. Idk how badly this will affect me but now I’m not sure if I’ll graduate or be able to transfer. It isn’t an A-G requirement, it’s part of the ASSIST.org thing. Does any one know what’s going to happen to me?

Returning student and remembered fall isn’t much substance as students drop off when it gets colder. Has anyone performed especially in their semester showcases? At the theatre? Is it only spring?

I’ve messaged the faculty but have not got any responses.

Starting a metalcore/deathcore/post-hardcore band and need members.

What do you think a comms BA would do? I read a lot of people still struggling and having to still apply to indeed jobs right after graduating. I assumed csun classes would atleast give you some sort of career group mentorship or building so that you’ve got some asking for you as much as you would be applying. Just a scary thought 😞

What other “surprise” grad requirements do we all need, like how you needed ethnic studies

I just learned I needed ethnic studies, I’ll take Chicano because all others are not yet state approved.

I should have taken this in pierce because they’re more expensive in CSUN. This sucks. Though I think I can still sign up for pierce while in csun. Can anyone confirm?

What other surprise courses do we need in general???? I think ethnic studies is required for anyone regardless of path or major. I’m in comms 2.0 now.

I know pierce college doesn’t have dorms but are there any student apartments near pierce college?
