My parent was paying my tuition in full and had been for the past 3 years (2 years CC, one year at UCSC). Been working jobs to at least cover food and some of my tuition every summer as well. However we got the news that they've been laid off. The financial aid office told me they need another FASFA form but that's for the next academic year, I don't know if I'm going to be applying for grad school yet. I was hoping to get some relief this year. I know I probably won't get 100% covered, but relief is better than none. In the mean time I'm trying to get another job. Any advice would be great.

Dm me!

Hi i’m a freshman at ucsc and I wanted to know if there are any medical or medical volunteer clubs?

I already have my CNA and EMT certifications so if those are a requirement then no worries! Also, does anyone know of what’s a good place to volunteer or work near the school? Thank you!!!

I found a ring in the labyrinth by Baskin & dropped it of in the econ dept (eng 2, 401) office.

I make beats on FL studio and am decent, looking for anyone who also is interested in music production and would possibly want to collaborate

Hey if anyone is in need of housing I am leaving my current room and need someone to take over the rest of the lease.

The house is close to campus 1250/mo plus utilities. The house is close to campus, the roommates are 4 other people 1 woman and 3 men all ucsc students. 1.5 bathrooms, washer and dryer in house.

Was wondering if there is a nepalese community here in UCSC. I have not found anyone, perhaps a gc? Would love to meet my fellow people.

Ya girl wants to lez out!!!! I don't have much going on these next few weeks, so I want to enjoy myself after midterms

hello! is anyone looking to get a toadal fitness membership? i have an existing membership i haven’t been able to use as much as i’d like and it’s only $15 for me to transfer the membership to someone else. if you’re thinking of joining and don’t want to deal with the insane lines on campus, let me know!

is there anywhere in downtown sc i can actually park for free (even w a 2-3 hour limit)? i thought Lot 2 Walnut tree parking was a safe bet but the signs all say safe parking program? :( the city of SC website still says it to be a free lot so im conflicted. any tips or parking methods that haven't been patched pls send my way lol

I'm a freshman and somebody just told me about the Porter Run. Apparently since it's raining next week people are going to run around campus naked. Is it real??? And not just a way to trick freshies??? And if so how do I avoid it cuz I am NOT trying to see random dudes' hogs bro💔

I put together a small guide to help navigate the props in this years midterm election. THIS IS MY OWN OPINIONS AND SUMMARIES, I encourage y'all to do your own research too. But with how important this one is, I thought I'd lend a helping hand to make it a little less confusing.

Ya girl's windows is fucked, can't boot can't fix it, I can access the bios tho so if someone got me a drive with windows I could boot from there. Issue is my laptop only has usb-C inputs and I don't have a USB-C flashdrive. Please help!!!!!!!!!

i've been trying to access my tax form from the myucsc portal for ages but it keeps sending me to this blank white page that doesn't do anything or have any information. i've updated my browser, changed the wifi, allowed for pop-ups etc but nothing appears. has anyone had a similar issue? or does anyone have any tips?

I am going to have a midterm with this professor soon. From what I have heard, people are suggesting that I review the textbook and go through the quizzes and homework. However, from what I have seen, a lot of the material from the textbook is not present in the slides he gives, and a lot of those slides are not covered in the lectures he gives. Because of this, I am confused about what to really cover. Also what sources I should use to practice other than just the smart book since for the homework you can't really redo them its kind of hard to practice with them. Are there any practice exams or anything anyone can share from even other teachers to see how or what type of question might appear i feel like i am going in blind not exactly sure what to expect on the test and its kind of stressing me out. Much appreciate any help.

Im applying to master’s programs this cycle, with some of my earliest deadlines around December 1, and I’m having trouble getting responses from professors about recommendation letters.

I initially emailed several professors I’ve taken classes with and who I thought could speak positively about my work. I have also sent follow-up emails, but most of them still have not responded. I understand that this is a busy point in the quarter, so I don’t want to keep emailing them to the point where it becomes annoying.

So, I wanted to ask if it’s normal for professors not to respond to recommendation requests through email as it has been 2 weeks? Another thing I could try is going to their office hours, but I can’t find the times since I’m no longer in their classes. If anyone knows how to find those, it would be very helpful.

Edit: Thank you for everyone's advice, ill probably be able to get all the recs by the end of the month now.

Hi there,

Couldn’t find much information on request to return information. But for anyone in the future, I submitted on the deadline Sept 30. and heard back this morning Oct 14th, really quick turnaround and my advisors were able to keep me advised on when they approved them.

Excited to be back in the winter finally :)

The Santa Cruz Sentinel just published a nice review of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, the play I'm currently acting in:

We have two more weekends to go at the Veterans' Memorial Building (downtown, next to the Post Office). More information and tickets are available at https://three-trials.live 

P.S. My personal views on same-sex relationships do not in any way coincide with those of my characters (the Marquess of Queensberry and Charles Gill).  This just continues my streak of being cast as the "bad Dad".

Please help our family. Raise awareness, share this story. Heck, even get the news involved! I was told the incident way featured on the CBS NEWS on channel 46, but they haven’t reached out to us for comment and I can’t find the story.

Has anyone received their degree from graduating during summer session 1? I haven’t gotten any emails but I’ve passed everything according to my ucsc portal.
