I am considering registering for lower division math courses next semester, while fulfilling CSE course requirements Unlike the new course majors, the old ones show which courses are required for which, and which ones have to be taken together.

I have signed the housing contract for this academic year. Is there any chance that I can move out after this semester? At first, I thought I just stayed on campus for Fall semester but then I realized that the contract is one-year. I'm not really sure about the housing contract.

As you guys may know UCM is adding so many new majors and just next year there will be almost 10 new majors starting up. What majors do you guys think we should add that we don't have yet?

Just wanted to know the opportunities available for a human bio major within merced to build some relevant work experience. Thanks.

I'm applying to UCM and wondering what makes it different from the other colleges. I'm happy to read any responses, positive or negative.

Any responses to these would be great:

- What experiences, classes, or opportunities at UCM stand out to you?

- What is UCM known for and why do they stand out because of that?

- If you went back in time, and were accepted at other colleges, would you still choose UCM?

Anyone in these programs currently? I just wanna get more information on the programs themselves and overall thoughts. I plan to transfer into Cog and double major in DSA.

Hello! I'm a parent of a senior in high school. My daughter is considering majoring in finance/econ. Is UC Merced a good option for her? Also, it not a school she is considering because she says in the "middle of no where". Can any students give their input on the PROS & CONS of attending UC Merced? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm thinking of attending Merced next year, and I wanted to know are the students mostly kind and friendly with each other? Or, does it seem like a lot of cliques? Also, I'm in an ethnic group that's not highly represented there, do most students seem accepting towards all cultural backgrounds? Is it hard to make new friends when you live in the dorms as a freshman? Thank you!

Seems like everything this weekend is on Friday ,, is there anything happening on Saturday???

This is a message to the UCM community regarding anyone seeking or requiring a referral to a provider that is out of the UCSHIP/Anthem Health network. I have had a long and arduous process dealing with insurance to get a referral to my ophthalmologist. Without the referral, I would be responsible for 100% of my bill. The steps, as told to me by insurance and health services, are as follows:

1. Get approval for a referral by either scheduling an appointment with a UCM physician or possibly by calling and getting a referral over the phone (2nd method has not been verified so YMMV).
2. Follow up to ensure the referral has been sent to Anthem by calling UCM Health Services. The referral DOES NOT appear in your health portal (I have been lied to saying that it will. It has not, to date, been reflected in my health portal). Be sure that the referral was sent before going to step 3.
3. Call your specific provider and inform them that they (the provider) needs to call Anthem and provide them 1) Your Anthem ID Number and 2) The referral code: 8780. Anthem should work with your provider to track down the referral. UCM Insurance and Health Services DOES NOT directly send referrals to your provider.
4. Wait anywhere from 0-35 days for the referral to be processed and any deductibles/co-pays to also be processed. Yes, 35 days is an accurate number due to billing cycles. Referrals are valid for about a year.

Again, this information is for anyone that needs to see someone out-of-network and requires a referral. Take careful note of step 3 as this is the most bureaucratic, red-tape step in the entire process.

I had a package delivered today and I was wondering how long it would take before I can pick it up. I need it for an upcoming assignment.

Hi everyone! I’m working on a statistics project for school and I’m conducting a short survey to see how often college students drink iced coffee. If you’re a UCM student and have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate your help by filling it out!

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I’m doing a research survey for my Quantitative Reasoning class and it’s focused on the comorbidity between depression/anxiety and autism or ADHD! It doesn’t collect email addresses and is completely anonymous. It’s just three quick questions, two of which being yes/no.

The data is just going to be used for a research paper in the classroom. I’m a first year so this is a very informal project. Please help me out if you can! It takes only a few seconds :)
