About the recent Phishing scam

Did anyone here get their refund stolen through a phishing scam?

I have been contacting the university about this issue. I do not recall opening any fishy emails or giving my information away.

And now the University is claiming that I was a victim of a phishing scam. I doubt I'll even see the money, as the university seems to be throwing us under the bus.

Is anyone experiencing this issue? Is there anything we can about? Besides filing a claim with the FBI.

Admission requirements

I’m getting out of the army to go to nursing school next year. But my cumulative GPA isn’t great and definitely not good enough for nursing school. If I’m a UTEP student they’ll look at that GPA, is it ok to just do like 2 classes online in something to have a good UTEP GPA and then apply?

Necesito un consejo.

¡Hola chicos! Soy originario de ciudad Juárez, la verdad es que me gustaría que me ayudaran resolviéndome algunas dudas. Hace tiempo fui a EPCC para preguntar que se necesita para poder ingresar, la verdad me atendieron de una buena manera, pero me recomendaron ir directamente a UTEP ya que en EPCC empezaría desde 0. Mi duda aquí es, siendo yo originario de ciudad Juárez, ¿podría ingresar a UTEP? Tengo familia en EP y se me facilitaría para no regresar a Juárez todos los días. Los que son de Juárez estudiando en UTEP, ¿qué hicieron para que los aceptasen o que documentos les pidieron?

Quiet Spots

Hi! I have a zoom class before an in-person class and was wondering if anyone knows a quiet place where I can go. My class is in the education building. I usually go to the library but I need to be able to speak during my zoom class and I feel a bit awkward doing so in an open area with people nearby (it’s a spanish class (i can’t even speak it)). I heard there’s study rooms, but does anyone know where they are or how to get one?

Parking situation

Just got a nice lil parking ticket because I don’t have a permit, only issue is the parking.utep.edu website is only showing parking permits for green lots. Which are on the opposite side of campus from literally everything else. Is there an area nearby I can park without needing a permit?

Is it hard to get a campus job or am I just dumb af?

So last semester and at the beginning of the year I went to a total of 5 campus job interviews. Nothing special, just front desk positions and helping make activities and stuff. I felt sooo stupid bc 5 fckn interviews and being rejected by ALL of them? It is just a campus job, nothing special ig. I think I did well in my interviews, I practiced some questions, my resume looks good, and I'm capable of doing great work. Everyone I know who works on campus got their job at the first try, but im here being stupid. any tips?  I feel frustrated, upset, and angry lol

Should I transfer to UTEP?

Hello,

I am a high school student at Socorro High School in El Paso. I am currently enrolled in the Early College program at El Paso Community College. I am in my second semester of junior year and have accumulated 43 credit hours at EPCC. I anticipate graduating with an Associate of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies in December 2025. I will then complete my high school education in June 2026.

I am currently considering transferring to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Alternatively, I am exploring the possibility of attending another university, such as the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) or Grand Canyon University (GCU).

I think to be eligible for college admission in Texas, students must pass the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) exam. I passed the TSI Reading and Essay and Mathematics sections during my sophomore year. Therefore, I am confident that I meet the requirement admission to UTEP I have also a 3.8 GPA.

However, I am uncertain about which university would be the most suitable choice for my academic and career goals. I would appreciate any recommendations or insights you may have regarding UTEP’s computer science program and its career opportunities.

Receiving credit for an internship is wack

I'm going to be doing an internship during the spring and in order to receive only 3 credit hours for it I have to enroll in a class alongside the internship as well. Because the class is only 3 credit hours (I guess that's what 16 weeks of working 40 hours is worth) I won't be fully covered through financial aid like normally.

The total costs is a whopping $1300, mind you I'm not going to be anywhere near UTEP so those $400 of fees (union, library, labs, gym, coaches salary) are more worthless than usual since I won't even be able to make use of the campus. Overall though I have to pay $600 which isn't the end of the world, my internship is paid so thank god, but I think its just overall wack and makes me feel like I'm getting robbed by the educational system more than I'm used to.

I reached out to the offices, Financial Aid and SGS, to hopefully try and get around this mess. If that doesn't work out I'll try to see if the company I'm interning for will cover the costs of school (which I doubt since they're already paying me).

Has anyone ever experienced this as well?? Or better yet has anyone found a way around paying $1300 to not even be taught by anyone while not even being anywhere near campus??

Digital Photography

Is anybody taking COMM 3316; Digital Photography with professor Boudreaux this semester?

Has anyone been able to get a DSLR ?? I feel the cameras are still overpriced on the websites she gave to “save money” this is insane.

Anyway, has anyone taken this class? Do we just take pictures of stuff or what?
