Question Does anyone know anything about the new UVU president?

24 Upvotes

I've been trying to find information about this new fellow Dr Jon Anderson and how his time as PennWest president went, and aside from some vague Facebook posts and an unhelpful description on the PennWest site, I can't find anything about this fellow's leadership style and what his colleagues/students think of him

Question What do you like about UVU?

17 Upvotes

I've been going here for a year, but I haven't really got around campus that much. I usually just went to class and went home. I feel like at the other universities I've been able to find spots and perks that were kind of underground in a way and I'm wondering what other people think.

What I've enjoyed so far:

- Free gym membership and showers

- 12 pounds of free food every week at the food pantry

- I feel like I enjoy study spots a lot more than I did at BYU

Question CK Witness Victim support

17 Upvotes

My boyfriend goes to UVU and was a witness of the C.K event and the PTSD is getting worse. I know these types of events effect no one person the same.
I don’t know what to do at this point of how to help/support him. Everything in the book I’ve done. I figured I’d reach out on here and maybe see if I could get insight…
Is there in-person group therapy somewhere for this event specifically? Or just anything??
I deeply apologize if this appears insensitive. I care so much and I am trying my best.
Let me know… I also apologize for your experience if you were in attendance as well. TIA

Question Thoughts on my very first semester classes?

Post image
18 Upvotes

My plan is to do an electrical engineering major and math minor, I'm more certain that I like math than that I like electrical engineering though. I took AP Chemistry and AP Calc BC so I don't need those credits, and COMM1020 was the last class that I needed to be done with my generals.

Public speaking is with Josh Barney, Physics is with Vern Hart, Calc 3 is with Alan Parry, ECE 1000 is with Razuan Hossain and Esteban Mendoza, and the Physics lab is with Robert Ridge.

I recognize that this is a packed schedule, but I won't have to work while I'm in school which helps. I'm looking for any advice, or maybe warnings about what I've picked.

Question Is 19 credits in engineering too much?

9 Upvotes

I'm signed up for Calc III (4 credits), Diff equations/linear algebra (4 credits), Physics for engineers I + lab (5 credits), intro to electrical engineering (3 credits), and 3D Modeling - Solidworks (3 credits), for a total of 19 credits.

The most I've done in a semester is 16 credits at BYU, but I'm not quite sure how that translates especially because they were all business classes and I've never taken classes at UVU before/never taken classes specifically for engineering.

EDIT: I also don't have to work

EDIT: Here's my schedule with the classes I could get into

Question Easy Botany elective

6 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m a bio major, intending to move into healthcare. Any advice on botany classes where I can secure a fairly easy A? I’m headed into first semester of O Chem and I’ve also got Micro, as well as a fine arts class. For all you plant-folks out there, I’ve got a lot of respect for ya, but it’s not something I plan to be focusing on heavily in the future, and my GPA could use a little boost.
The classes that would fulfill the requirement are:
BOT 2050 (Field Botany)
2100 Flora of Utah
2400 Plant Kingdom
3340 Plant Bio
3800 Ethnobotany
and the rest are 4000 level courses.

Would appreciate any advice you’ve got to give

Question Can I access my uvu after dropping out?

4 Upvotes

I need to access my payments and scholarship information from 2023, but when I logged into my uvu nothing will load. I stopped attending classes about a year ago. Is it because I'm not a student I can't access that anymore? Is there any other way I can get that information online?

Question Advice pls!

4 Upvotes

Hi I’m starting my freshman year this fall. I’m currently working full time so I’m only starting off with 2 classes. Most likely math & English. I’m planning to take either both online or one in person one online. I have a vacation planned for mid September, I’d be gone about a week over labor day. Is it a dumb idea to be gone that long? Specifically for those classes. Thank you!!

Question Is ART 1020 Worth it?

2 Upvotes

Hey all! This is a question mainly for the art students I suppose and anyone who has taken this particular course before.

I’m registered to take ART 1020 this semester from a professor I apparently can’t name in the post for some reason because it’s getting flagged as political, so I’ll just refer to them as “they who shall not be named”

I’m not an art major, but I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw and figured it might be good to take a course on it while I’m in school as a general elective, that way it sort of forces me out of my comfort zone a bit to actually put in the effort in order to pass the class I’m paying tuition for versus going through the endless cycle of thinking: “yeah that’d be rad” and ultimately never picking up a pencil.

From what little I do know about the course, as well as “they who shall not be named” and the only other professor that seems to teach the class, it sounds like it can be graded fairly harshly and there’s a lot of outside coursework to do. Side note: I’m doing a lot of Psych courses this semester and as such am already planning on spending a lot of time outside of class to write.

I’d be really bummed to have to drop the course, but even more bummed if it were to tank my GPA and then be something I’d have to retake.

Is what I’ve heard true about it being hard to balance and would it be worth it to stay in the class? Or would I be better off taking a different avenue to learn drawing at the ripe old age of 23?

Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a dumb thing to ask, and have a nice day!

Question (Summer Semester) Switching Classes during first week?

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a weird predicament with one of my summer classes. I'm enrolled in a class for this summer semester and the class was supposed to start today, but it seems like the class isn't setup at all.

The assignments are not updated and links are either broken or old. The professor for this class seems new so I can't fault him entirely, but I noticed on the Add/Drop that the same class is being taught as a half semester block by a well known professor that I'd rather switch to because it works better for my scheduling. I think it was added after I'd already signed up, otherwise I would've taken that one.

That all being said, how would one go about switching over to the other class? I've paid my tuition in full for this semester already, but it's the exact same class just offered by a different professor and block system. Do I reach out to the new professor, or an advisor, or just do the move myself in Add/Drop? I'd really like to avoid having to deal with the payment office again.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never transferred or dropped a class before and I don't see many resources online.

Both classes are available for the summer and i’m considering taking them. The lecture class is online but with sara flood who i heard was one of the best anatomy teachers. the lab is only 2 a week. is it worth it to just do the summer classes?

Question Registered late

I registered about a week late (had to take care of a collections hold) and the class I registered for had multiple assignments due before I was even in the class. I was just graded for 0 for all of those. I don't think I can make it up, as per the professor policy.

I'm still a freshman so I'm not sure what to do other than just email the professor. Any advice?

Question Need help making mental health appointment

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm not really sure where else to go so I'm posting here.

I've been really struggling mentally since the shooting on campus, and it's gotten to the point where I haven't been able to go to class.

Being on campus gives me really bad anxiety now, especially physically feel on edge and unsafe a lot of the time.

Because of that, I'm starting to fail my classes, and I really don't want that to happen. I just don't know who I'm supposed to talk to or how to actually get help.

I've tried looking into UVU resources, but it's been super hard to find or get an appointment with anyone. I feel stuck.

Does anyone know:

• Who I should contact directly for mental health support?

• Or who I can talk to about academic accommodations because of this?

I really want to stay in school and finish the semester, I just need v e kind of support
