Hi! I'm a graduating senior applying to the U, and I was aiming to apply early action. Unfortunately, I was having issues with the common app and ended up submitting 3 minutes past the deadline. I know this is 100% on me and I understand that applying regular decision is perfectly fine, but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to e-mail the admissions office and ask about my situation. Is there anything I can do at this point? Is it worth it to even e-mail?
Has anyone taken path3100 online with Mal Leetham? How difficult was the course online? I usually stay away from online science courses, but with my work schedule I have to take it online next semester. Is it doable, or worth pushing it back a semester?
I just recently submitted my application and it says on my application checklist that they are waiting on an official transcript from my high school. Do I need to send this before admission? Will if affect scholarships?

For anyone who has taken gen chem lab 1, do the labs last the entire 3 hours? I want to take the lab from 11:00 to 2:00, but I have another class right after starting at 2:00. Should I change my lab time, or would I be fine keeping it and making it to my next class on time?

I am a senior and I have three classes left to complete my bachelors in business administration. One happens to be Finance5000 (shown in my degree audit). I found out they won’t be offering this class anymore so I asked what class I can take in lieu of Finance5000 which previous had online options available. My counselor said it is being replaced with Finance4030 which is only being offered in person on campus.
Have any of you asked or had a course exception to take a different course? I’m wondering if I can take Finance5050 instead to complete these credit hours. Primarily because I work full-time M-F and I have a two kids under four. Taking the Finance4030 class requires me not seeing my kids for 72 hours a week along with the other classes I have. Any suggestions??
I know it's fine for most people now, but it disconnected all the time for me, and it's hard because the lab I work in has terrible cell service and it's hard to do 2-factor stuff.

Has anyone on here interned in Washington DC through the Hinckley Institute? If so, could you answer any of the following questions:
Honestly I work full-time and i just have a couple residency hours to fulfill before I graduate. I’m looking for more or less easy courses but still are kinda cool. Like History of Rock n Roll or Survey of Jazz. Any suggestions?
Pretty much the title. I have taken all classes that are of interest to me, yet have residency hours to fill. Honestly, I work full-time and just want some decent classes that are more or less easy A’s yet still somewhat cool.
So far I know of: History of Rock n Roll & Survey of Jazz.
Any other classes?
I work a lot and having chem in my schedule right now doesn’t give me a lot of time to work. Would it be okay to switch it to online?
For context, see my previous post.
I have a meeting scheduled with university administration to discuss the ethical and legal issues posed by the usage of online proctoring software (e.g. Proctorio and Respondus) and hopefully change the university's policy around the usage of these tools. If you have any questions or comments that you think I should address in the meeting, please let me know!

I’m taking CS2420, CS2100, and Math 1220 (calc 2) next semester, and I have three questions regarding those classes for people who have taken those classes previously. First, professors can make or break any class. Who are the good professors for those classes, and who the bad ones? Second, what is the structure of those classes like, and what is the best way to approach these classes? Third, how difficult should I expect next semester to be with that current course load (I’m only taking those classes mentioned). I’d also love to hear any additional insight or advice on top of those three questions that you think would be beneficial to mention.
I consider my overall programming ability to be good, and my overall math ability to be average.
I appreciate your time for looking at this.

I am a sophomore at UVU right now, transferring to UofU spring semester. The pre-nursing requirements are different at the U, and so my schedule is kind of fucked. The only classes I need left to apply are Chem, Physio, Micro-bio and Path.
Chem 1130 is full, so I am going to take Chem 1210 (lecture) but Chem 1215 (lab) is completely full.
Should I take just Chem 1210, and then Lab in the summer? Or should I be a guest student at SLCC and take Chem 1130 this semester along with my other classes at the U?

Students living at the new Epicenter this year -- how is it? I’ve heard a lot of bad rumors but nothing specific.
I found it in a stairwell in the BU C building and the contents are baffling. I'm not sure whether it was dropped on purpose or on accident I've never heard of the overalls collective before.
Hello! I am a current freshman at the University of Utah and have some questions about the universities theater program. I was originally going to just get a BFA in film and media, but lately have had thoughts of double majoring with a theater BFA (with a musical theater emphasis) as well. I have some questions I hope some people have answers to. First, what is the audition process like? I didn't revisit theater until my junior year of high school, so I don't have much on my resume, and I am not the best dancer. I am though, very confident in my acting and vocal abilities. And I want to improve my dancing skills, as well as be apart of more productions. What should I do to prepare for auditions into the program? Next, can the generals and BFA prerequisites that I'm am doing for my film BFA fill in the requirements of the theater BFA? Lastly, whats the musical theater program like as a whole? How rigorous is it? Is it fun? What kind of classes and experiences come with doing the program? Any answers would help so much. Thanks!
Basically title, I’ve been having problems with my roommate and it’s caused much stress over the semester, I would prefer to stay on campus but don’t know if stuff like the waitlist we prevent me from being able to swap
Has anyone tried to get a job experience letter working as a TA/RA/GA? How was the process like?
Has anyone taken Clinical Physiology? I am currently trying to decide on an elective for the RN-BSN and heard this is a good one to take. I am curious how hard it is, if there are many exams/quizzes, and how many hours per week I can expect to spend studying.
Thanks!
