Only need 1 class for degree, but taking 4, will aid cover?

I'm registered full time undergrad and already approved all the loans and whatnot. Technically only need one more class to complete the degree requirements. But am taking four for the spring.

Online people say it won't work that it'll only cover the one class, but I called the financial aid people and they said it'll be fine, but I'm not sure they completely understood. Does anyone have any first hand experience and can verify? Thanks!

Commencement Ceremony Ticket

My girlfriend was just informed last night that she would be able to walk during the College of Humanities - Interdisciplinary Sciences Commencement Ceremony tomorrow at noon at the Singleton Center. Her advisor told her that there are no available tickets for the event so I’m here asking if there is anyone who has an extra ticket that they are willing to part with.

Please dm me if any of you fit that criteria, I’m an Army medic and managed to get my leave approved today through a miracle so this is the last hurdle!

SCAMMERS on campus (be aware)

Please be aware there’s scammers on campus claiming to be affiliated with “ACCBF” (A children’s cancer foundation) who will ask you to donate to their FAKE website. Today they were outside Panda Express. They are NOT ACCBF so do not donate. Their website is fake, requires you to fill out loads of personal information. If you donate, you’ll have to pull out your credit card and a man will try to come up behind you and take a picture of your card information. The VCU PD have already been notified about them, please be aware.

More info on Information systems

Hi! I am a sophomore currently majoring in HPEX- Health Sciences. I am starting to think a healthcare career might not be my calling. I have looked into other majors and Info systems caught my attention. Can someone explain exactly what someone could expect in that major? (What classes, Professors, Community, and most importantly--The difficulty? How hard would it be for someone who has no experience in that field?)

Transferring but might fail a class right before I do

Hey guys, so I applied to Vcu and uva earlier this year for spring2025 and I got accepted into both. However, I have a bad grade in bio206 and I don’t think I’ll be able to pass it. If I fail the course will it mess up my transfer? Will I still be able to get into either uva or vcu and retake it there or would they deny my admissions?

Thanks for all the help

Perfect Binding at CPB

So I thought I’d bind a book as a gift at the CPB, but I didn’t have time to go in person yet except for tomorrow when I actually have to bind. I was wondering if anyone knows if the CPB will give you a hard cover that you can bind with your pages?

Does anyone know how much the curve is in ACCT 301?

About to finish up my first semester in the post baccalaureate accounting certificate program. Taking taxation accounting (ACCT 301) with Wayne Edmunds and needless to say, it’s been a tough course.

I keep hearing from other students that he curves, very graciously. But outside of the first exam, he has offered very little in terms of a curve.

I was wondering, to any students who have taken his class in the past, do you know if he curves graciously for the final overall grade? Thanks in advance!

vcu food options

Hi guys! I have a peanut allergy and I wanted to see if anyone knew where to see the nutritional and ingredient information for the places on campus. Rams Coop has a new red velvet cookie and I wanted to try it, but it’s not on the websites or anything. I was specifically looking for the rams coop information, but any help is appreciated!

Physics 208 or 202 for premed career?

I took physics 207 this last semester, but I am having a little difficulty in deciding whether to take physics 208 or physics 202. I heard physics 208 is very difficult with electrical and circuit components. Does it look better to take physics 208 for medical school or should I take physics 202, which might better prep me for the MCAT and save my GPA?

I found a student's wallet and turned it in.

I found a student's wallet on Broad Street. I think the first name was Jermaine. I turned it into the VCU Police Substation on Grace Street, between Au Bon Pain and the Grace Street Theater. I hope they contacted you.
