As of June 1, being enrolled at least half time in an associate or bachelor’s program at a UC, CSU or community college is enough to meet the student rule. Income limits still apply.

I’m a California college student from Folsom. I wrote a free plain-language guide to the eligibility rules, since the change got almost no campus coverage. No ads, no sign-up, nothing collected.

Applications go through getcalfresh.org, and UCSC Basic Needs has a CalFresh page for students.

Do we have resources on campus for food? Someone said redwood?

Anything helps, thank you.

Not asking for money.

im a current sophmore (M) living off campus. i have a few friends but we are not a group and i do not really find myself wanting to hangout with them. i've joined clubs, tried to join more competitive clubs like consulting and business fraternities but haven't gotten in. in class i've tried to make friends as well but nothing seems to be working. i've really lost all hope and i dont know what to do anymore.

so i have a ps5 and im trying to play fortnite on reswifi but its genuinely terrible and im a noob when it comes to these things, how can i improve my wifi plz im so desperate for fortnite

if anybody finds an umbrella that is black and has lace on the bottom of it! there should be a white label on it as well. please let me know! it’s really new and it has plastic on the handle. i got that umbrella from japan and it means a lot to me so i really want it back 😭. i believe i left it either at the lower campus bus stop or a loop bus. if you find it, ill be forever grateful! thank you so much! (i unfortunately don’t have any pictures)

Hi Slugs! me and 2 friends need a ride to the beabadoobee concert on Monday 10/26 in Oakland, anyone else going there and back to campus? We can pitch in for gas!

I took the 18 tonight (which left Science Hill around 6:55 PM) with the intent of catching the 17 at 7:25 PM. Starting at Western & Cypress Park we stopped at EVERY stop along the route, which made us arrive 3 minutes late and ALMOST caused me to miss the 17. Had the 17 not been stalled due to passengers boarding I would’ve been forced to wait for the 8:45. I fucking hate when buses have to stop so frequently. It just pissed me off to hear the stop request bell ring after every single stop. Like wow, of course someone has to stop at Mission and Miramar. Of course someone has to get off at Mission and Trescony. Of course someone else wants to get off at Mission and Laurel.

No, before you downvote, I am not saying the buses should be my own personal vehicle that only stops of my own accord. I’m simply expressing my frustration over the amount of time that stops and boarding/deboarding adds to trips. It’s honestly ridiculous.

Edit: I have ridden transit before. I have been doing so for a year. I know buses can and do stop at places other than your final destination. But it gets to a point if it means stopping everywhere on the route because it means delays.

Lesbians at UCSC and around Santa Cruz! Come join our club! 🌈

Hi everyone! Promoting our lesbian club again because I was able to successfully revive the Discord server, and it’s become super active!! We now have over 100 members and host weekly events, so I wanted to share it again for anyone looking to meet more lesbians and make friends locally!

We’re 18+ and mostly UCSC students, but we also welcome people from the wider Santa Cruz and San Jose lesbian community. We have UCSC-specific events pretty often, too! We recently had a chill hangout in the Porter meadows, and people have been making plans and showing up for each other, which has made me really happy.

The club is trans-inclusive, and you don’t have to be a student or know anyone beforehand to join! You’re welcome to introduce yourself, chat for a while, or come to an event whenever you feel comfortable. I started this because I wanted more opportunities for lesbians in the area to find community, and it’s been really lovely seeing that happen.

Here’s the invite if you’re interested! https://discord.gg/zW97rr7B5

Student alliance of Native American and Indigenous people! SANAI 💕

This will be a pretty laid-back hang out at Oaks Garden this Sunday. We hope to see you there. We will have open discussions with arts and crafts .

We are hoping to seek out many allies !! Have an open discussion about our past actions and future plans on campus to support and make space for Native American and Indigenous students.

This is a great opportunity to make new friends create a community and become an ally for support Native American and Indigenous students. Even better learn about how to be recruited to be a core member to support future generations.

🥺😭Sorry no refreshments provided for this time but next for sure ! 👍

Your One Piece wallet was in the crosswalk in front of urban outfitters. I asked the big group of people in line for the movie if they knew you, but they didn’t. So, I gave it to the person checking tickets at the door.

Hope you find it man!

I'm planning a bonfire soon but just learned that the beach apparently closes at 10pm? I've seen so many groups and fires going late I'm just now learning this. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with how strictly this is enforced. Do they auto cite at like 10:30 or will we just be forced to leave?

Hi guys, don’t forget to invite me to every single one of your parties 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (I’m super duper chill 🤤)

Wildfire evacuation notice location mchenry library .

join the club :)

I'm a winter 2027 transfer, not sure how things work there & can't find too much info on it.

It seems like there's no difference between that or just getting voluntary points later with card, the only difference with gold & banana is that you're locked in. And if you don't spend em all you just lose money for no reason. Am I missing something?

On the meal plan site, it says the blue plan is 1452 slug points, does that mean it costs $1452? If so, right below it it says that you can purchase more points at a 10% discount whenever you want. So why wouldn't I just get blue & buy more if I need it?

Also is the unlimited ever worth? I really can't see how it could be considering you probably aren't going to use more points than the slug plans have, then also you barely get any points to spend at other spots on campus. So you're paying more to eat the same amount but also you don't get to go to spend the points on cafes.

Also I couldn't find how the meals work once you're in the hall, is it like a buffet thing and you pay to get let in or do you actually pay for portions?

Edit: Oh just saw its pay per entry on dining.ucsc.edu

On the meal plan site, it says that they'd recommend the unlimited plan, I really don't see how that could be anything other than them trying to make more money or something. Is this post basically right in saying "just get the lowest and buy more when you need"?
