I've checked the sub's history but didn't find an answer for my situation so I will just ask, sorry if it's been asked before. Anyway, I am considering dropping a class depending on how I do on my midterm (tomorrow) but the deadline to drop classes with a W is this Friday (unless I'm mistaken). But the class is a grad level course (i'm an overly ambitious undergrad). Does that mean I cannot drop the class at all after Friday? Or do I have until 12/2 (the date for graduates to drop with a W)? Any suggestions would be appreciated, I am doubtful my prof will grade the exams and release the results before Friday so should I just ask him to grade me sooner? Is that rude lol. Also if it's relevant, dropping the class would put me below 12 units (I don't get any aid or scholarship or loans) so that shouldn't matter right? Should I just ask VAC I feel like this is complicated. Thanks for any info 🥲
My midterm for a political science class is there so idk...
Does anyone know what the consequence is for not finishing your field experience in time even though you’ve finished all your classes?
Hi all!
If you could fill out this survey form, it would help the UCSD gym community a lot. It would only take 2-3 minutes of your time!
Essentially, we're working on a project (in collaboration with the administrators at Rimac) for our DSGN 100 course to distribute newer & better smart scales for us gym-goers to use at Rimac (and Main Gym) by the end of this quarter.
We want to know what you think and what you know about using smart scales, as well as the information and data they provide to you as gym goers to better facilitate this process with Rimac.
Thanks!
If you guys saw 3 ghosts with sunglasses in Halloween can you reply with the pics or dm me? Because we forgot to ask people to tag us or send us the pics 😔
Hello, I'm a current 4th year UCSD student new to this subreddit. I want to make a promotional post for my MCAT tutoring business I founded with my friends but am unsure if this would be allowed since we are not a UCSD club. Should I post in UCSD classifieds instead? Thank you!
Hi, I am taking 4 basic biological science classes this January to get my gpa higher before applying to PA school in April (immunology, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, introduction to clinical hematology). They are all asynchronous and are 3 months long from January to March. Has anyone taken these on the UCSD extension, any advice or information that is useful?

Conducting a group project for dsgn100 with the goal of improving upon specific gym features! Would love it if anybody who has whatever degree of familiarity with our campus gyms were to answer some questions:)

Hello,
I’m administering a survey for a class. It seeks to see how interpersonal relationships influence your major of choice. The target audience is CURRENT college students who are 18+. The survey is anonymous (I don’t need any emails).
https://forms.gle/joNYtooQns6ZPq9W6
The survey is only 11 questions long, 5 of which are demographical. I would like to gather 100 survey responses; currently I’m at 30.
Thank you very much!
hi guys I was wondering if anyone has seen a missing car key at seventh college? I think I lost it around last night. it has a huge Shrek gingerbread man keychain on it and it's hard to miss. pls contact me if you've seen it
Does anyone have an easy class they took to fulfill the sixth exp learning requirement? Bonus if it's bio-related.
(this is on a throwaway if that's important)
I transferred here from CC to finish my B.A. I'm originally from the other end of CA.
I've tried to be social even though it's not in my wheelhouse. I joined clubs and tried to be outgoing. I haven't seen a lot of success though. Like, I guess no one openly hates me? But like, a lot of the acquaintanceships I've made have either fizzled out, stayed stagnant, or are awkward now because of me not being the best socially.
Is this normal for students here?
I’m not in a frat and I heard some clubs here that host parties and that’s the main way people go to parties here. Any ones u guys know of?
hey yall big favor, they changed the ucsd bookstore Halloween costume contest this year from in-person judging to online voting which did 110% turn it into a popularity contest based on who can mobilize the most people to vote. My friend made a killer costume over the last couple months but it ended up in the back of a 90 submission album so if yall could take a look at it and interact with the post in the album that would be very cool 😎
the album for the contest is at facebook.com/ucsdbookstore
heres is photo specifically
disclaimer you do not have to vote for him and could theoretically vote for anyone but his costume is the coolest
Why do i have a bill for $47 for “course materials” 😭 all the classes i had i separately bought the hw and stuff so did anyone else get this
I’ve seen these in different areas of campus, I was wondering who made these posters because I think they dropped this… 👑
So I recently found out I have a deviated septum. I want to get surgery to correct this, I think this is medical need and not cosmetic but I’m not sure. Any one with experience using UCSHIP for medical surgery?
My weighted capped gpa is 4.03 and uncapped is 4.16 is it good enough to get into ucsd cogscience major?
I’m new to UCSD this year and only just found out about the esports center on campus. Does anyone here know anything about it or the program? It’s definitely something I want to get into as I’ve been playing games competitively since I was like 14. I watch COD, Valorant, League, Rocket League, CSGO.
Hello, to whomever lost their ring, I found a ring in one of the Muir apts and turned it into the Muir ResLife office. Even though it says they're closed on weekends, there's still someone in there and will let you in.
I hope you have a good day!
