Hi,
I passed the background check and obtained the certificate in a couple days, which surprised me lol. Since usually they take atleast a week. And passed the physical test too.
What would be the next steps? emailed HR, but the specialist is on vacation till next week.
Thank you 😄
Hello,
So I've been thinking about this for a while now. We have 170,000+ students across 213 countries and there is literally no one representing us to the university. No student government, no formal way to raise issues, nothing.
Like when your advisor goes awol, when courses fill up out of nowhere, when the transfer credit team just says decisions are final and that's that... where do you even go? You just post on Reddit and hope someone has an answer.
I actually started putting together a formal proposal to submit to Student Affairs requesting official recognition of a UoPeople Global Student Union. The idea is pretty simple. A student led group that advocates for us, flags systemic issues, and actually has a seat at the table when the university makes decisions that affect our degrees.
Not trying to make it a big dramatic thing, just think we deserve better than emailing into a void and getting a different person every time.
Would you support something like this? And honestly what is the one thing you would want a student union to tackle first? If you want to contribute and help get this off the ground feel free to DM me, I want to know what actually matters to current students before I submit anything.
Edit:
I've made an email address if anyone wants to reach me or just message me on Reddit.
Hi everyone!
I took a solid 2-4 month break from university, due to work commitments. When I came back, alot has changed...
For example, the course selections are entirely different. I am doing a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, when I tried to register for a course I can now register for web programming as an elective?
In addition, my program advisor seemed to have disappeared and replaced her with a new one. Which doesn't seem good, since my new program advisor seems to be awol and every time I email her. I get a new advisor, that always says I'm writing on behalf of your program advisor.
And I did a few Sophia learning courses while working and I transferred them. But, now they are taking their sweet time transferring them or even deciding to do so. Based on the other advisors response:
"Note that accepting the credits is at the sole discretion of the transfer credit team, and all decisions made by them are final.
Kindly note that there are courses available for you to register, so please follow the learning pathway sequence and register accordingly, and the registration period for AY2026-T5 will end on May 27, 2026, UoPeople time (GMT-5)."
I can't register for them, since they are already full? How is that even possible the term only started to accept registration a couple days ago.
Sorry for the rant, just frustrated with what I came back to.
Hi,
As the title says, I got hired. There's going to be a background check which is fine. But also a physical test.
Regarding the physical test, does anyone have any ideas on what it'll contain?
It's for a on-call position.
Thank you :)
