Is there a way around the guest policy?

I forgot my wallet, I've stayed in the dorms as a guest before but never without an id. Sometimes I didn't get checked but if I ever did I had an id. I'm stay with my girlfriend but now idk if id be able to sneak in and if I get caught i cant identify myself. Is there a way around the id guest policy? I was thinking since I just turned 18 like a few months ago I could pretend to be a minor and do the minor form. What do you guys think? Any way around it?

RA position and housing at GRC

Hey guys, so I’m a freshman at VCU and I recently got an email about the 25-26 RA positions. I actually planned on commuting next year because of financial issues, but I was interested in being an RA because I know free housing will be provided. For the application of RA do we have to fill out a housing application? And if I don’t win RA position will I be able to remove myself from the housing application since I’ll have to commute? Thanks

Subletting

Hi! I am subletting an apartment near VCU campus to students. It is a 2b2br and I am subletting my room. The rent is 999$ per month, and the lease is from NOW-JULY 31st, 2025. Utilities are usually around 20$ and parking is optionally included for 90$. You can take over the apartment as soon as this week. Overall, the apartment is pretty great and I enjoy it, but due to family situations, I am moving out. Thanks! Feel free to DM me

Canvas not working on GRC WiFi…?

I’ve been trying to login to canvas on GRC WiFi for the past couple of days and it just keeps loading. The screen where you enter your e iD and password doesn’t even come up, I just get buffering. If I change my WiFi to my phone hotspot it works fine. Is anyone else having this problem? It’s really frustrating since I basically can’t do work unless I’m on my hotspot or not at GRC, and I don’t have unlimited hotspot data.

Looking for Artists! Virginia Orchid Society Juried Art Show

The Virginia Orchid Society will be holding its annual show and sale February 28 - March 2 2025 at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. As part of the annual show, the VOS will be having a juried art exhibit of orchid themed artworks. One orchid themed art piece per registrant is allowed in the categories Photography, Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor, Graphite, Charcoal, Mixed Media etc.  For additional details, please send an email to orchidart4vos@yahoo.com

Artwork shown is from a piece I commissioned from last year's "Best In Show" artist, Ash Mendez. This year, artists' work will have the option to remain on the hallway walls of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden for the month of March. Artists can elect to have their art available for sale during the show. Ms. Mendez's awarded piece was sold within hours of the show opening (thus the reason I needed to commission my piece!). This is an opportunity to showcase your talents.

Looking for a high school math tutor for tomorrow

Hey all,

I’d like to get someone to tutor my child in her math. She has a test on Friday so preferably to meet tomorrow afternoon. After that it’ll most likely be weekly.

Pay: $15 an hour plus an extra $5 for gas Location: North Courthouse Road Library Subject: high school math, honors algebra 2

Right now they’re learning about simplifying radicals. Similar to this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oS_kEaO4wLc/sddefault.jpg

Preferably female so my daughter feels most comfortable.

VCU Fashion Interview

Hello,

Is there anyone here that has held a job or worked a career in fashion merchandising or any clothing related buissness? I am looking to get into a career as a tailor or haberdasher and would live to conduct a virtual or in person interview at some point in the next few weeks about it for my career planning class. Not VCU restricted but I thought I would ask here first.

Many thanks, respond or DM if interested.

VCU Vintage!?

Hello I was wondering if there is an archive or if people have examples of vintage VCU merchandise (preferably pre-1980s). I’m very interested in vintage esp clothing, so I’ve been on a hunt for any examples of spirit wear but I have found almost nothing.

RE: Online Class Survey

Good morning, Rams!

I am studying VCU attitudes about online classes/learning, for one of my classes this semester, and I could really use your help!

If you’ve got an extra 10 minutes or so, I would love to hear your thoughts about virtual class formats and your preferences!

off campus housing questions

i'm a freshman currently living in on campus housing, and i would like to live in an apartment next year.

for off campus housing, can you share bedrooms to keep rent down? like housing 4 people in a 3 bedroom apartment

are the prices for apartments for the whole unit or just a bedroom?

how much choice is there for your roommates? can i get a group together to all sign a lease? i think this one may be a stupid question but

im also looking into becoming an ra. if i get an apartment asap and rind out i get selected to be an ra (which i believe happens in march?) can i back out of the apartment?
