Transferring from UC to CSU

Hi, I'm planning on transferring out of a UC to a CSU (I don't need any judgment; I'm doing it for my career). I'm currently applying as a lower div transfer and I noticed that I need to meet the requirements for the Golden 4, specifically the A2 Written Communication and B4 Math Concepts/Quantitative Reasoning. I have my written communication but don't have my math concepts so I'm stressing out about it. Just for some context, I plan on taking statistics and other courses over the summer. Is it likely that I'll get accepted? Any information/advice would be helpful! TY!

SUG Distribution

Is anyone else still waiting on their SUG distributions? I've only received my Pell Grant so far.

Waitlisted to an online course

So I happen to be on the waitlist for an online class and I also happen to be #1 on the waitlist. I did email the professor asking if it was possible that there was still room and they said no the class was at max capacity. They did say that if there were students who hadn’t log into canvas by Wednesday (1/29) they would drop them. Should I send a follow up email sometime today or tomorrow as the waitlist completely ends on February 3. I have also read some stories on here of people emailing the department chair asking if anything could be done. Was wondering if that was also something I could do?

do all applicants get student portals

I applied for the MSW in early January and a few days ago I got an email with my PIN and instructions to set up the student portal. Do all applicants get this or could it be a clue to my admission status?? lol

UPDATE: yes, it seems like all applicants to this program receive a CIN and PIN according to an email that was already sitting in my inbox 💀
