Does anyone know when summer financial aid packages are dispersed? Myucsc says disparagement was on the 17th of June but I never got an email for direct deposit.
im applying for housing (transfer community) and i was wondering how often do people actually get doubles? im aware that triples are the most common room but does anyone know like what the ratio is? is there only one per floor or is it like 3/10 are doubles like what are my odds? has anyone gone for a double but not been able to get one and was assigned a triple? im only asking because if im likely to get assigned a triple id rather know both my roommates then get assigned a random third person
Does anyone know when it’ll be dispersed and when the refunds will be sent out? 🫠

Hi, I recently got into a computer science BS program as a transfer student, but I would prefer the flexibility that a BA offers to specialize in areas I’m interested in. Is it difficult to switch from a BS to a BA?
I didn’t fully research the differences between the BS and BA course requirements before applying, so now I’m considering switching or just sticking with the BS until grad school. Any advice?
Hi, I’m currently in the process of moving out, and would rather pass this on to a student instead of getting rid of it. Its totally free and in good condition, pickup is required. Dm if interested, first come first serve!

I'm an incoming computer science junior transfer student, and I was planning ahead about how to balance school, social life and personal projects.
Worst case scenario, what would be the lowest GPA I can get before I get expelled from UCSC/kicked out of the CS major/have any other academic consequences levied on me?

I'm an incoming junior transfer to UCSC, and after visiting the UCSC campus I'm a little worried I might get cut off from friends who live in different areas of campus, or end up missing out on fun campus events because I'm too far away.
Does anyone have tips how to efficiently get around campus? I probably won't have a car. Should I bring a bike to UCSC?
i’m transferring from my community college to ucsc this fall and i got an email saying that my transcripts has been reviewed and to check the the transfer credit report to see the applied credit, but when i check said report under “course credits,” nothing is listed. also, when i check “external transcripts” there is a grey check box under “evaluated” for my JC transcript. does this mean anything besides that it’s been looked at? in conclusion, are these things something i have to wait to check after the transcript deadline on july 1st or should i be calling someone at student services or my JC in a panic?
All 3 are being taught during the summer and I was wondering what people thought of them and their usefulness.

I don’t live in Santa Cruz right now, and I’m looking for a 1 year lease that starts in mid-July or August. However, I can only find leases that starts at July 1st on Facebook groups now. I’ve posted my bio on Facebook and contacted several landlords that wasn’t so precise about their lease start dates, but they all wanted to make the deal ASAP, and don’t accept early reservations. Would there be more posts that start in August later, or should I just fly to Santa Cruz in August, stay for several days at an airbnb, and go looking for housing on the street?
