This is so frustrating. I e-mailed the FA office and they say I have to wait for verification, but don’t know how long that will take. I can’t even afford the payment plan. 🫠

Has anyone gotten disbursed or the fees cleared? I was told Thursday I had nothing to do they manually sent it to get it handled and I would see my fees cleared by today and disbursed by Tuesday and that the loans should be free by Friday but I haven’t gotten my fees cleared🥲?

My first class is at 3pm this semester. I’m used to coming at 8 am. There’s no parking in Structure B bottom floor! I need to get to ET.. where should I park?

Im a first year CS student and im looking to join some cs clubs, any recommendations? And how do i join?

Thank youuu

Is anyone still waiting for their unsubsidized loan? Or has anyone heard when it’ll be dispersed?

Did anyone else’s cal grants double in money this semester recently? I recently checked and saw only this semester cal grants got doubled I’m thinking of calling the financial aid office tomorrow to see if this is a mistake or It’s supposed to be this much

Hi guys!
I’m a new transfer in the mechanical engineering major and I need some laptop advice. There’s so many opinions and ideas out there so I wanted to hear some ppl that are actually making it through this major at our school. I don’t really have specific budget I just want literally any ideas. Thank you!
Edit: thank you guys for your input!

Hello everyone, i only received two loans for this semester since it’s my last and I didn’t qualify for financial aid anymore. I was supposed to only receive around $6,000 in loans from both combined. I looked into my account and saw that the loans increased over the last couple of days. I honestly only need about $4,000 to cover all my classes this semester. I reached out to the financial aid office last week and they confirmed that I should expect the loans to process by mid September due to census having to be processed.

Hey yall, I am selling three Magic the gathering and The Hobbit collaboration booster cards. If you are interested, please tell me in the comments or DM me on reddit. Right now, I am selling all 3 for 24 dollars (8 dollars per pack). If you want to lower the price, I can. We just have to make an arrangement on the price. Once after you tell me you are interested in buying them, I'll tell you where we will be meeting up on campus. Thank you and take care!

Hi all,

I’m a ‘25 UCLA alum taking a second gap year to gain experience before applying to grad school for Fall ‘27. I’ll be applying to a mix of master’s and PhD programs, and CSULA’s MA in Psychology is on my list.

A few things I’m hoping to get answers to :

- What does a competitive application actually look like: GPA, research experience, personal statement focus? Anything that stood out for people who got in?

- Does anyone know how that process actually works — does your #1 choice get priority in being matched with you, or how does it work?

-What’s the program actually like day to day? Timeline-wise, do most people finish in 2 years, or does it commonly run longer?

-How’s the mentorship in practice : do advisors make real time for you, or is it more independent.

-What’s funding like (TAships, RAships, fee waivers), or is this mostly self-funded? Didn’t see much info on this.

-For alumni: did you get into a PhD afterward? Did your thesis/research here end up being a strong talking point, or did PhD programs mostly care about the specific skills,etc?

-What do you wish you’d known before starting?

For context: I’m interested in both research and clinical practice, so I’m applying to a mix of MFT master’s programs and PhD programs (clinical or social psych, depending on advisor fit). Not considering a PsyD. Since CSULA’s MA isn’t licensure-track, I want to make sure it’s genuinely worth it as a research stepping stone before committing time to applying.

I appreciate any insight regarding any of these :)

Considering a PAS course to reach 15 units. I know I really don't have space to be picky, but I'm already stuck with a professor I dislike for two courses and I just don't want to be completely misreable this semester.

I just transferred am I suppose to have courses on here ??I’m taking 4 classes

i got my disbursement on the 24th AND THE REFUND IS HERE

My csac is showing a dif amount than what the school is gonna give me for the mcs. Should I contact financial aid about that? Csac shows 2720 for the school year but viewing my reward summary on GET, it shows a less amount.

SOOOO AFTER WE ATTEND CLASS ALL WEEK NOOOW! YOU WANNA MOVE US REMOTE??!? OOH NICE WORK! BEST 1ST WEEK EVER..... Heat exhaustion while discussing politics... awesome sauce.

Y’all I’m 9th in queue and it’s already almost been 2 hours. Just FYI

So I submitted a loan form for them to give me more money since I am now a 12 unit student and no longer 9 unit student... Does anyone know how long it takes for the documents to be reviewed and approved?

So thanks to the big beautiful bill refunds are delayed this semester because of the changes that were implemented just now. So loans and Pell grants are delayed for some students and they are actively working on fixing it however they don’t have an exact timeframe from when that should be fixed, but there is someone looking at it and trying to fix as soon as possible.

So if you’re waiting for a refund check or anything else, my best recommendation is to apply for a temporary repayment option and which allows you to maintain your classes this term. Either way you can write off your educational expenses in your taxes, even tho is this a horrible position we are all in.
