Why don’t Utep fans show up for their basketball

I get we are struggling in football. But why does our basketball attendance suck? We need to show up for our team as there is nothing else to do in El Paso.

Making Friends

How do you guys make friends? :( I can't seem to make any... I'm lonely.

I see all these groups of friends just having the times of their lives at college and I really don't want to be excluded.. It's hard to make friends out there because people you meet in class you might not see them again anymore next semester. And it's even hard making friends in class as well. It's hard approaching people too, especially interesting pretty people like yall, I just find you really intimidating and impossible to apprach for some reason. I genuinely just see every guy and girl with their groups of friends already established and I don't know I kinda wish I had something like that. I really don't wanna fall behind and stay alone cuz I feel I'm missing out on so much. :c

bichem

is biochem a hard class? CHEM 3330? For reference, I have been to two top colleges in the country, both of which are currently ranked in the top 50. Should I add it to my course load? Would be 24 total credits. Would take it with Bernal, Ricardo. any reviews appreciated

Online ms systems engineering

I had a couple questions if anyone has gone through this program and could help out! How is the program in general? Are the classes completely asynchronous since I am going to be working full time? How long does the program take to complete on average? How are the exams, how are they proctored? And how are the professors for the courses?

adding classes

So as of now, this is my schedule for Spring 2025.

I wanted to switch out the Inquiry to science/math (which is a core requirement, super easy) and take biochem instead. this is 24 total credits. Please let me know if you thik this is doable. In my experience at UTEP, it was a pretty easy school. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. I am a Biomed Science major. How hard is BioChem at UTEP? Just need a C, not trying to get all As.

|| || |General Physics I+ lab (4)| |Human anatomy and lab (4)| |Mol Cell Bio + lab (4)| |Gen MicroBio + lab (4)| |Organismal Bio Lab (1)| |Vert. Physiology Methods (zoology 4188)| |Prof Dev Seminar (1)| |Inquiry to science/math (3) Communication Area Option|

Where to file a report about library room 300 equipment checkout?

If a water fountain is broken, I can send a request to maintenance to fix it. Is there such a thing for library room 300?

We had an exam which needed calculators but half of the class (not me, thankfully) couldn't get a calculator from them because they ran out.

Transfer Question

I transferred from EPCC, and I'm at the 66 credit limit; however, there's a class I would rather instead take at EPCC rather than UTEP; if I take it, will it not count towards my degree at UTEP? If not, is there a way to make it count towards it?

Thanks

Math

I recently changed my major, and i have the required base credits for my new major, i am currently taking Calculus 1, and I was told by my temp advisor I should keep taking it as it will count to my block elective but I genuinely don't know what I'm doing. Could I get away with dropping the class, and taking a lower level math class later on, or would they not let me

(I technically don't have an advisor either at the moment, UTEP is fucking weird)

[Help] Linux users - How to fix OpenConnect disconnecting from the VPN??

[SOLVED]

GlobalProtect doesn't ship an Arch Linux client, so I'm using OpenConnect isntead. This is the command I use to connect to the VPN:

sudo openconnect --protocol=gp --server=myvpn.utep.edu

But it keeps disconnecting after 5 mins. It didn't use to be like this for 4-5 months, now it's acting up again. Here's the full terminal output right until I press ^c to stop it:

Think You Can Predict the 2024 Election? Compete with UTEP Students!

Hey all,

With the 2024 presidential election approaching, I wanted to share a project that’s aimed at raising awareness and encouraging more people to get out and vote. It’s called Presidential Pick'em, and it allows you to predict the outcome of the election by filling out your own electoral map.

It’s a fun way to get people thinking about the election while also contributing to some crowdsourced data. The goal is to compare predictions to actual results and hopefully spark more engagement in the election process.

Each prediction will be scored based on how accurate it was and the results will be displayed on a global leaderboard. You can also create and join pools to challenge friends, roommates, or other groups.

I've created a pool specifically for students from UTEP to join and compete against each other.

Join the UTEP pool here.

Or create your own pool.

Think you can predict the election perfectly? Make your prediction, and don’t forget to get out and vote — your voice matters!

Can I refund my parking pass

So for my senior year I decided to shell out the $400 for the SBG pass. I ended up getting an inter ship over the spring so I won’t be here and won’t need my pass anymore since I’m not gonna be enrolled in classes for spring. Do you know if I could get like a partial refund if I go to the parking people or can I basically do nothing about (except to sell it myself)
