North Lake Power Surging/Quick Outages

Has anyone else been experiencing these outages last night (between 11/1 and 11/2)? They've managed to wake me up on several occasions due to my lamp turning on and my air purifier booting and rebooting. I'm in one of the Oak buildings.

Transient online

I just applied the application for Florida shines. Can someone tell me how it works? I would rather take the online math class at home for flexibility.

Please let know. Also what would happen if I only take one class ?

Am I still an active FGCU student?

The math class I’m taking is Elementary Calculus

Dungeons and Dragons Group (next semester)🎲

Hello everyone! I am opening up a small dungeons and dragons group that will take place on Tuesdays NEXT semester (spring 2025). We could also start this semester if all are willing but we will only be doing one shots since we do not have as much time remaining for this semester. Looking for player characters, new players are welcome as long as you have a passion for RPGs!

Campaign undecided

The DM is the one posting this lol

Bring dice and any books you may want, DM has custom miniatures, books, game board, and everything else provided

Yall should bring snacks to :)

(Last note: we have a Thursday group ongoing right now but that group is closed as it has too many players. None of them said they can make it for the Tuesday group as of right now, so this group will be made up entirely of new people. I hope we can all get along and make this an amazing, awesome, and fun experience!)

Lutgert questions

How do the business majors compare in terms of outcomes? Do management majors do well upon graduation? How about supply chain management? Is the marketing degree worth the investment?

Breaking a lease at coastal village

Just curious, how do I go about breaking my lease without it penalizing me or my credit score? Or should I just try to sublease my apartment instead? Whatever is easier to get outta my lease. Thanks!

Hi all, I’m applying to the MA in clinical mental health at FGCU. I was wondering what my chances of getting in are.. senior psychology major. Work at d/a rehab.. 3.3 gpa .. peer mentor. I know graduate programs are competitive so I wanted to know if I need to improve on some things because fgcu is my dream program. Would love to hear from someone who completed or got accepted.

Doing Research as a duel enrollment student?

I am a sophomore duel enrollment student at FGCU. I currently hoping to join a professor's research project but the project is connected to the senior project research class and you are suppose to be biology major to do that class and because I am a duel enrollment student I am not technically a biology major. I was wondering if I could do the senior project research class as a duel enrollment student or if I should look for a different professor. Also if you guys have a recommendation for a biology professor that is looking for help in research that would be greatly appreciate. Also does it matter that I am not a senior?

How many credit hours do you recommend for summer semester?

I'm debating taking my 9 required credit hours for summer semester all at once. Is that a death wish with a part-time job, or is it doable? Also, are there any specific electives that are best to take in the summer? My gen eds are done because of transfer credits, so I'm out of luck there.

I know that this is pretty early in the year to be thinking about, but I'm trying save some 'easier' classes for summer rather than spring, so it makes sense to ask now. Thanks for any advice you can give!

Cancelling my admission

I'm an international applicant for Spring 2025, and got an offer from fgcu. Initially I accepted it, and had paid my enrollment deposit as well, but now I don't want to go here anymore. How do I cancel my enrollment and who do I email? I know i won't get a refund on the enrollment deposit but I don't mind.

How Late Is Too Late to Apply?!?

I'm a senior in highschool and I plan on applying to fgcu. I know the early decision application deadline isn't until nov 1st, but i've been seeing many ppl saying this school is easy to get into as long as you apply early. Does that mean within the early decision timeframe or does that mean when applications opened aug 1st??

I planned on applying sep 1st but I didn't get my sat scores until sep 6th and I've been struggling with writing my essay. I even went on a tour there and they really stressed applying early, that was aug 30th.

My gpa is 3.65 and my sat score is 1130. I know these are good enough to get in but I'm scared i've waited too long to apply. If you have any insight pleaseeee answer! I made a reddit account just to ask this.
