Proctored Exam

Hi everyone. I was wondering if there is a requirement for exams to be proctored. Like is it in GCU’s policy? I have a PC without a camera and just started.

GCU masters in biology with an emphasis on education

Hi guys, Anyone have experience with… well asking for experience to teach? Should I be shooting for asking random professors to TA classes or something ? I didn’t do well in my community college classes but thrived in my university classes so it’s kind of hard asking professors in cc to TA…

Gym/LPC

Is the LPC/lopes performance center open to everyone even if you’re not a student athlete? Like if you’re just trying to go to the gym for fun?

GCU Declined Payment but took money?

My account was placed on hold so I went to set up the payment plan, mistakenly I was like $20 short in my checking account and GCU declined the transaction, but the money is gone from my bank. My financial account does not say I made a payment at all though. What do I do?

Visiting this weekend for the game with an odd question/odd request

I’m a Junior at Utah Valley University, and my friend is a senior at ASU. I leave Utah for Arizona tomorrow, and we are attending the game against UVU on Saturday night. I attended the game last year and loved the atmosphere. The pregame party is my favorite thing I’ve ever seen in a student section. It blew me away. Coming from an opposing fan, you guys are one of my favorite environments in college basketball, and I can’t wait to see you guys in action one last time before you leave the WAC.

Here’s my weird question and weird request: we want to be in the student section ONLY for the pregame party. We will not ruffle any feathers, and will not look for any trouble as opposing fans. We will wear neutral black shirts in your section and leave right before tipoff. The question is this: what time do your gates open? We want to be there as soon as the gates open so we can be in the pregame party. We expect that we will leave about 5 minutes before the game to sit behind our bench.

Can’t wait to see you guys this weekend, and good luck!

Advice on Online Masters Degree in Cybersecurity?

Can anyone offer any advice on the difference between the various Cybersec programs offered here, if they’re rigorous, if the professors are strict, etc. and any experiences within the program. Trying to decide between GCU and another online school.

MAT-144 and MGT-420

Hey everyone hope all is well. So I am an online student and took a look at my class schedule and realized I am slotted to take MAT-144 and MGT-420 at the same time. Never took two classes at a time so I was hoping someone can give me some insight into both of those courses such as difficulty and work load. Thanks in advance.

I’m three classes in to my Master’s program and have my field experience classes coming up. I am thinking of taking two classes at a time if I can manage it.

I was wondering if any of yall have experience with this and if there are any classes in particular you would recommend doing this for?

Thanks!

Scholarships

does anyone know how scholarships work? before I came to GCU, I qualified for their scholarship however, after that, they told me because of my grades in high school, I was not gonna be qualified for that scholarship anymore. my question is, if I get a good GPA and decent grades, will that help me qualify for a scholarship for next year?

Dropping Out

I started the masters program a few months back and decided to go on LOA for a few months due to some financial hardships. But I was thinking of dropping out and possibly coming back to continue my masters in a couple of years. It just not a good time for me to continue to commit to this program and prepare myself for field experiences atm. Does anyone know GCU policy on dropping out and does it affects one’s status with the university or leave a negative impact on oneself?

(Online Student) Is there any grace for late assignments when sick?

I’ve been really sick the past couple days and reached out to my professor to ask if he would consider excusing my late submission without the penalty to which he said no, which fair enough, however I have now been rushed to urgent care with a high fever and was told I have the flu. I was given a doctor’s note just in case it could mean anything to them but is there no exceptions for things like this as an online student? Would it matter if I presented the note or should I just buckle up for a long night and try to get this essay in?

Is there a way to access my 1098-T form without having to go through “Heartland ECSI”?

I made an account with heartland ECSI.

I tried making an account but then it wants me to input some 17 character digit which I don’t have.

Where on the GCU Portal under My Apps can I go to see my 1098-T?
