I registered for a few classes mid November. Mind you.. I forgot I hadn’t paid my last payment of this semester. It is now saying I have a past due balance when I try to access the “add/drop classes” tab on Catsweb. Does this mean my classes I put in before they placed the hold are automatically dropped or are they still in tact, but I can’t change it, add or drop any of the ones I put in before until I pay? Please help!!! This is extremely important to me. Thank you!!
This was a secret easter egg feature for all txstate websites put in by the web developers. If you do the Konami code on the website (any txstate webpage), a mini game will appear.
Hello everyone! I am graduating at the end of this semester, in just under 2 weeks. I am just posting here to ask for any tips or advice regarding the graduation ceremony!! What should I wear in between my gown and swimsuit for jumping in the river? What kind of shoes should I wear? I'm going to wear a bikini for the river jump so I'll probably just wear that instead of underwear and stuff. What should I expect if the weather is cold? Since I'm graduating in the fall. I mean it is TX so it's probably not going to be freezing cold, but it'll probably still be chilly. Also, I am getting lunch afterwards with my family (my ceremony is at 10am) and I'm planning to go back to my apartment to change before we go to lunch so I'm not wearing wet clothes. Should I shower then too? Or wait until after lunch to shower? How do y'all manage being wet from the river jump throughout the day? We are going out to eat that evening at a nice restaurant to celebrate so I definitely gotta look nice for that.
Sorry for all the questions lol, I just want to make sure I am prepared for the special day :) If you are alumni and participated in the grad ceremony / river jump, tell me your experiences so I know what to expect :)
Hello! I am a freshman entering spring 2025 for the semester. I put down my deposit for the dorms. What date do I find out which hall I will stay in and what type of room I got?
can anybody that’s majoring in wildlife biology give me the rundown on the classes i’ll be taking🙏
Hey guys! I just wanted to ask a question for those who possibly live in aspire, what size are the beds? ( twin,full etc) i’ve tried to find this information but i can’t find it anywhere thanks !
Has anyone had experience with summer housing? What type of things were open(rec, lbj, alkek, etc). would you guys recommend?
Wanting to apply as a spring transfer to Texas State business but I know the deadline was Nov 15. Do they accept late applicants?
Does anyone happen to know what happens once you get the notification that you have a late payment hold? I will not be able to do next semester (dropping out) due to my financial aid never going through and my mental health. I have skipped all 3 payments, but my living situation is a really big issue for me. Will housing send me a vacancy notice before winter break? And if so, how soon will they send those out?
I have a really big, major anxiety disorder and I overthink the littlest of things. I’m mostly just concerned about where I’m going to go considering that I was never able to find a job at the beginning of the semester, so I have no saved income to get back home which is across the country.
Hopefully this question isn’t too annoying. Freaked out freshman just trying to figure out if he’s gonna get unknowingly kicked out of his dorm room on a random date. 🥲
Does anyone know all the information for the ring day celebration? Like where exactly the ring day parking will be, or the dress code, and what the specific times meant? When I signed up for a time it didn’t say what that even meant or maybe I missed it. I know I saw some of this info when I was signing up but I couldn’t get back to that page so I’m a little lost.
I’m a transferring student that submitted a contract for on-campus apartment housing for the Spring 2025 semester. I would like to cancel but I see now they’re quite picky on who can cancel. Though I also see if I fail to show up by 4pm move in day they terminate the contract. Are there consequences to this? What’s the point of even requesting the cancellation if there isn’t.
The reason I’m cancelling is because they have my move-in day literally a day before classes start and would like more time to settle in as I’m new to the area / TXST.
I saw someone on the sideline with the heart of texas hand sign along with a barbell on the hand. Anyone help a girl out so I can get this for hubby on xmas?

I also have a bf on campus who I want to be able to like hang out with yk? So pls help.
Hi! Does anyone have experience breaking a lease at any apartments around the square? I want to break my lease because my roommate is terrible and my apartment complex says they don’t let you break a lease unless you sublease. I’ve been posting on FB trying to find a sublease but no luck. Just trying to see if anyone has experience navigating this. TIA!
Does anyone have Chemistry with Sean Collins and is passing with a B or higher? I'm genuinely asking for help because it is getting ridiculous in his class. Please DM me and you can tutor or even help me study because I understand what is going on in class, but on the exams, literally nothing. I need help, thanks!
Im guessing its going back into the bank account I originally paid from but when is it gonna actually go back in? am i going to receive this money in the spring semester?
I'm m an incoming freshman, and I plan to take BIO 2430 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 to 9:20 AM at ASCS, followed by AT 2356 at the Jowers Center from 9:30 to 10:50 AM. Is it enough time in between?
sorry in advance for the long post but i wanted to share with detail what happened and hopefully warn others. I will post the pictures of these men in another post since it won't let me on this one. (blonde guy was the driver and brown haired guy was in the back seat)
On friday november 22nd me and 3 of my friends (2 girls one guy all 21 including me) went out to the square. we’ll call my girl friends A and B and my guy friend C. I was the DD and my two girl friends A and B were significantly drunk.
At the end of the night on the way back to my car we stopped by my friends apartment to drop him off. My friends didn’t know him well (this being the first night they met him) so when I was saying bye and catching up I told them to wait 20 ft up the street at the stop sign to wait for me. I took maybe 10 mins max saying bye (which looking back i shouldn’t have taken so long) but when i went to catch up with them they wernt at the stop sign anymore.
I thought they may be waiting at my car which you could see from the stop sign I told them to wait at. I looked but didn’t find them so I called my friend A and asked where they were. She said “we’re getting dropped off at the square” I said “what? you were already at the square what are you talking about? are you in someone’s car” she said “yes we’re in his car” and i replied with “who’s “his” car? where are you?” and she said they were in “some neighborhood”.
Basically my friends had been approached on the corner while waiting for me by two guys in a white volkswagen. they pretended that they knew my friend C (after hearing his name from my friends A and B) and my friends being very drunk and not having good judgment got into the car with them.
eventually after a lot of unanswered questions I told my friend A to hand the phone to whoever was driving. I spoke to the person driving and told them to drop off my friends right now, and if he wasn’t okay to drive to tell me where they were at and stay there and I would come pick my friends up.
Still another 5 mins go by with unanswered questions and I hear my friend A say “fuck you” and slam a car door shut (this was after the driver of the car called her a whore for not sharing personal information). I saw her across the street and ran over. Knowing my friend B was still in the car I held out my hand infront of the car and told them to stop. The driver saw me and still drove away down the street towards another stop sign. I sprinted after them on foot thinking I can’t let them take my friend, thinking she’s going to be SA’d or killed, I was terrified.
Thankfully I caught up to them and opened the car door and yelled at the driver for driving off after I told him to stop. I told my friend to get out but it was a volkswagen and you have to put down the front seat to get into the back seat. In the back with my friend B was another man. me and my friend C couldn’t figure out how to get the seat down and both the driver and the guy in the back seat wernt helping us at all and telling us to chill, We finally got my friend out of the car and the driver called us the F slur and drove off.
I got my friends into my car and broke down. Then i see that those guys were texting my friends phones. I had both of their phones and I decided I wasn’t done with those guys. This was probably stupid of me but I pretended to be my friends and got the guys to come back. I knew I needed a picture of their license plate and their faces. They did end up coming back and I got what I needed. they drove off again but still continued to call and text both of my friends phones. not just once or twice, but 12 times they called my friends, and even texted them in the morning acting like nothing happened and inviting them to a rugby game (edit: they are not apart of the txst rugby team, one of them was a texas tech alumni and may have been referring to that school, i'm not sure). I had my friends block them. This was such a scary experience and I want to warn people about these men.
Mental health got me this semester and I finally took action and got diagnosed a few things from the health center. I’m failing all my classes but one and have no idea what to do, any help or direction?
