I honestly don’t know how to format this, but I’m a senior in high school with a 3.87 GPA, 1230 SAT score. From what I can tell I have a decent chance of getting in even though I plan on transferring from CC. The issue I’m facing is I don’t know if GCU is where I should go! I haven’t seen much info on whether GCU has a good Biomedical Engineering program and that is the main major I want to take. I am mainly considering GCU as my future college because it has a good men’s volleyball team and club, my girlfriend is also going (I know not to let that be the deciding factor but it definitely encourages me just a bit), I have a decent shot at getting in (I think please lmk if I don’t), GCU is generally affordable for me even without FAFSA, and they offer the majors I’m interested in. I know there are better colleges I could get into specifically for my major but GCU is the closest and best well rounded school for my interests.
TLDR: So if anyone could let me know if GCU has a good enough Biomedical Engineering program to get into future Masters programs at other schools or internships, I would be insanely grateful🙏

Sorry Juniors and Seniors.
Hello everyone! Online student for Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling here. I have a question because I cannot seem to figure this out and neither can my husband. I start a new class tomorrow and weekly we have to record ourselves and I can’t figure out how to record just myself on Zoom. I’m used to recording zoom meetings or doing zoom calls but not recording myself.
Does anybody know if we can buy Nike branded basketball jerseys anywhere? I’ve seen a few people wearing them so I’m wondering where they bought them.
they will tow your car.
Hi everyone, I’m currently about halfway through my ABSN pre-req’s. My husband’s family had a tragic loss Wednesday, and I called my counselor both Thursday and Friday to ask for an extension on the last week of my classes (all work due Sunday). I never heard back from my counselor by 5 pm Friday, so I just sort of rushed my submissions last night when everything was due. Today, I went to begin my pathophysiology and applied nutrition, and saw those classes are no longer available in Halo, nor are they listed in my scheduled courses in GCU portal. I don’t have any future courses listed anywhere, at all. It’s almost 7 pm now on Monday, so I called and left a voicemail and I am hoping to hear something back tomorrow.
Here are my questions:
Thanks!!
I recently was accepted for spring 2025, had anyone received their cohort assignments yet?
I am an online student I have a class that starts today, I am 37 weeks pregnant and due at any moment. Does anyone know if I will get penalized if I miss a few assignments the week i end up giving birth? My counselor said to contact the disability office but no one has answered my emails or phone calls. I am unsure how to go about this? Do I let my professor know? Thank you.
If you want to take a break from classes for like a month do they let you? Not just some time for Christmas break? I have been going at classes non stop for a year but Feb will make 2 years of non stop classes. By the time I graduate will have been in school 2 1/2 years because i have doubled my classes like that also I am doing it online. But lately been stressed my GPA also is now 3.88 when before it was like 3.93 I was maintaining it until recently when I got a couple a-'s and B and a B+ so it dropped it since I haven't done my replies to others on time my past 4 classes I just need a break. Yeah replies are easy but have neglected it so those easy to get participation points i haven't got so those A grades dropped. Just like that. I have a kid and she goes to school then tons of house cleaning to catch up on and then my husband has a family member on hospice so I could use a break.
When do grades get posted / finalized after an online class ?
Ive been thinking about dropping a class since im able to keep my housing, and its not a required course for my degree. Is there a process I need to go through?
I am a senior in high school who plans to attend next fall and I wanted to take some dual credit classes at a community college. I used the GCU Transfer Course Search for the class, "Introduction to Ethics", and the class transfers to a "Global Awareness Transfer - LD", which I assume is a GE credit, but not an actual class. Does this mean it can transfer to GCU, or should I just take a different class that will 100% transfer.

I’m going on the discovery trip next weekend as an incoming student for 2025 and I was wondering if I would get any time to myself during the tour to go around campus and look at things on my own? I was also wondering if it was a good experience on the tour?
Also is it possible to make new friends on the tour or is it hard?
Is this class even manageable I can’t emphasize how much I hate anything about history haven’t taken it since high school almost 7 years ago, took a easy GE for another college that I cheated my way through. My professor is Heather Rise and this is a ridiculous amount of work. This is my first semester at GCU and cwv was a lot and the 8 substantive post is ridiculous, all to see that this course and even my pathophysiology course requires 6 substantive post as well.
Anyone taken microbiology + lab online before? I start on Monday and noticed that we have to order a lab kit to do at home. How many labs are there? Do we have to do one at home each week?
Is connect similar to Aleks? I’ve only used Aleks thus far
Has anyone joined a class and submitted work and then went back onto Halo and their class is completely gone??? I’m freaking out and am trying to get ahold of my counselor…
Is English composition subj hard? I just saw the pre start and the activities in the calendar. I got overwhelmed just looking at it. Currently, i have 2 classes already (almost done by nov) and i am not sure if i can do the 3rd now because of the task in it.
What happens if a guest of the opposite sex is in your room past visitation hours? Especially if they aren’t signed into the guestbook. Do they kick them off campus? What are the repercussions?
So I’m in Chapparal, and can someone tell me when the pool and the gym will reopen? I feel like it’s been closed forever.
Hey all! I’m a CCSC student and I’m required to have 40 hours of volunteer work per year. I’ve currently been struggling with it as I’m an introvert and doing big events at GCU seems pretty horrible to me honestly. Any suggestions? I don’t have a car, so I’m looking more for volunteer work that would have transport.
