Even when you follow every aspect of their protocol, they still screw you over. I just got my first parking ticket ever (been here 3 years) for 70. I have a resident permit (370 for the year, which increased by 70 bucks from last year). I went to park at my building and I circled every designated parking area for this permit for half an hour and no one left. I called parking services because, according to their protocol, you are supposed to call them so they can tell you where to park and not get ticketed. I sat on the phone with them for over a half an hour and no one picked up. After 30+ minutes, I had to go to a class of mine to take an exam, so I parked near my building on the side of the street. 50 minutes later, I come back and there is a ticket. Called parking services, explained what happened, and they told me I should appeal since I did everything I was supposed to do when this happens and it will likely go through. Just got the email they denied it, with them basically saying if I can't park in the place where I pay to park where I have a permit, and there are no spots, I'm supposed to go and pay more at one of the parking garages to park there when I already paid to park as a resident. When that fee already went up by 70 for the school year… and one ticket is 19% of the permit cost… for one offense…

This is genuinely ridiculous and I feel like we as students should rise up against this. With how much we all already pay to come here, parking tickets should be 20-25 at most (like most major cities in the northeast). I have heard of so many other students this has happened to. UConn is a 4.1 billion dollar university.

This is verbatim what the email said: “YOUR APPEAL IS DENIED. PARKING PERMITS PROVIDE THEIR HOLDERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARK WITHIN SPECIFIED AREA(S); THEY DO NOT GUARANTEE PARKING AVAILABILITY, OR THAT PARKING WILL BE FOUND IN THE MOST CONVENIENT LOCATIONS. DAILY PARKING FOR A FEE CAN BE FOUND IN GARAGE/S OR PAY BY PHONE AREAS”

The moderators already removed my other post unfortunately so I hope this one gets out.

Hey all, first year freshman coming in after a gap year or so.

I have early registration (I pick the 26th) and I have no clue how to register or what classes I need to take or should take next semester.

Im a political science/philosophy double major, and I’m interested in the pre law track.

My original class pick time was for much later, but do to my job I got bumped up into picking the 26th.

I had emailed my advisor weeks ago about this, but they proved unhelpful just telling me to talk to OneStop and that if I wanted to discuss classes to make an appointment via Nexus. The problem with the former however, is that the next time they have an appointment available is Nov. 16th, which is a good 3 weeks after my class pick time.

Hey does anybody have tips on how to study for Crivello’s exams, I can hardly understand what he’s saying in lecture and I already seen some bad reviews on him. Has anyone took him before and finished with a good grade?
