Program Restrictions when Registering

Did anybody else get this error? Me and my roommate both got this error when trying to register today. We are both juniors and are fully caught up in our degree plan.

The 3 classes I need most all 3 have the “Program Registration” error. How do I go about fixing this? All of the classes have less than 10 seats left and they’re the main 3 I need! 🥲

Flyers on campus

Cost of living

I’m making this post for someone who reached out to me because they don’t have enough karma to make a post themselves in this subreddit. They’ll answer any comments left.

“Hi, I am an international student. My i20 says I will need 17k for first year which is a very huge amount even if I got the on-campus job. I want to know is this the actual cost of living for the first year as I don't have any knowledge on the expenses. Please note that I have to live one semester on campus as I have got admission in spring semester and my tuition fee has been waived.”

Megathread List

Hey y'all,

There has been a lot of the same type of post on the sub recently so we're testing out a new change.

In addition to the already in-use housing search thread, we're adding two new megathreads. Friend search and class/prof feedback.

For now, please post in these threads instead of directly on the subreddit.

Non-campus Housing Megathread

Friend Search Megathread

"How is Professor/Class?" Megathread

We're open to feedback, so treat this post as a feedback forum for this new rule.

ETA: This has to be done this way because reddit only allows pinning two posts at a time.

"How is professor/class..." Megathread

To cut down on a lot of the commonly duplicated posts, we've created this megathread to help everyone search for a professors or ask for feedback about a class they want to take.

Before you post, please check these resources for info about your prof/class:

  • https://hb2504.txst.edu/ (https://opletter.github.io/course-evals/txst/ is the same information but a bit easier to use. Thanks, /u/Crafty_Thing8782 for sharing). These are the evaluations actually done by many students at the end of the year. You get less specific feedback but a good agregate score.
  • https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ stealing /u/abi1i's comment, while RMP has more in-depth written reviews, "..usually the people that are posting “reviews” of professors are either students that did really poorly in the course or did amazing in the course." but it will give you an idea.
  • Search the subreddit and this thread. If the professor is not brand new, there is likely some discussion about them somewhere in the subreddit. Search, maybe your question has already been answered.

Parties for Halloween night?

I had plans with a friend to attend my first ever college party on Halloween night but apparently they're suddenly over the party scene and just want to hang at their apartment and drink with like 2 other people...that's not how I want to spend my night.

So if anyone knows of any parties happening tonight I'd really appreciate it! 😊

I just wanna let loose and have fun for once lol.

Would you go to school entirely online for Computer Science or to the greatest extent possible? Transferring in with more than 60 credits, trying to get a feel for it.

Trump or Harris will be in office until 2029. Cruz or Allred until 2031. Old people are showing us up. They care about different things b/c they have less time left. Vote and tell your friends to vote. Red or blue.

I found a key (possibly a dorm key) by Ingram hall (Comanche for campus loop 14). Where should I turn it in? It has a TXST lanyard.

Did anyone else not get the classes that they wanted?

You would think that being a senior would make getting the classes that you wanted , easier but intsead it was harder than last year when I was a junior. I really wanted to take CS4379Q,E,V but they all filled up extremely fast.

Anyone else have that problem?

Seats are filled, but I’m registering as a senior?

I cannot believe how unlucky I have been during registration each semester at Texas State. Registering as a current senior with over 100 completed credit hours, I thought this would be the one time I actually get to take the classes I pre-planned. Because seats would of course be open when I’m registering before juniors/sophomores/freshmen, right? Nope. Not one seat is left. How am I supposed to graduate at this point? I’m going to have to graduate late because there are not enough sections/seats for classes I need (not even classes I want, it’s classes I need)! I really don’t mind graduating late, but this is still ridiculous nonetheless. And yes I always register the SECOND my registration opens. 🥲 I just needed to vent.

Unsure in choosing CS electives?

I'm approaching my final semester and I've found crossroad in choosing a CS elective. I have Unix System Programming already in my plan, but I've also been debating about Intro to Databases? If anyone has taken either of these classes, do you guys have any wisdom? Whether its the material or professors, please let me know, I'm willing to learn either, just wanting to know what my options are.

Best Courses Offered?

Hey guys, I have a ton of open electives and have no idea what classes to take. Help. Open to all suggestions, especially with registration looming. Was thinking about Osteology but unsure exactly what goes on in that class and its difficulty.

what do the men on campus have against deodorant???

literally 75% of the men i walk past on campus smell like PUNGENT ASS bo. i genuinely don’t understand it and im getting so fed up 😭 i know yall can smell yourselves so whyyyyy are yall so ok with torturing the people around u with your stench that has a 5 foot radius?? and yes i’m singling the men out because i literally have never walked past a woman on campus that stunk. and before anyone starts saying that “some people can’t afford it”, it’s literally $1-5… i would rather personally buy you a deodorant than have to feel my sinuses being cleared when i walk past you (all jokes aside there are resources to help you with basic hygiene products). like if you were in a cartoon you’d have green fog coming off of you. i’m not even exaggerating or trying to be funny it makes me feel fr sick. for the love of all that is right PLEASE put on some deodorant 🙏🏼🙏🏼 keep it in ur backpack, on ur nightstand, VELCRO IT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR i don’t care but im seriously begging yall because im gonna get my nose amputated if i have to keep smelling that shit everywhere i go
