What accommodations are available for learning disabilities?

Hi, I recently have been told that I have dyscalculia which means I have a very hard time being able to do math. This did affect me during my college algebra class. I’m wondering if anyone else has this disability and if they have informed the school of it. I wanted to know if you had gotten any types of accommodations and if so what they were and how they were, etc.

Thank you!

Forced to Opt In the Panther Book Pack for a class

I realized the class I'm taking this semester is using Yellowdig for online access to dicussions, I'm willing to pay the $20 separately for the access code but I do not want to pay $40-68 for a book I can easily find online. Students have emailed the teacher saying they opted out of the panther book pack but the only option is to buy the panther book pack in order to buy it through the bookstore (I also cannot purchase it through Yellowdig itself, it redirects to the bookstore).

Who could I contact? I truly dont want to bother a random fiu bookstore employee. Thank you for any assistance! I'm truly annoyed that they made it where u really dont have an option to opt out. The class is PSB3002, other choices for only the code did show up on the online bookstore.

EDIT: I was in fact missing the summer OPT OUT section 😭 so happy to find this out!!

Any experience with the Education Program?

I'm debating whether to transfer to FIU or stay at MDC. I also am not sure whether or not to do my classes fully online. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Your postdoc experience at FIU

I have my fingers crossed since I am awaiting a positive response from a research group I applied in FIU. Would be helpful to hear from other postdocs working here. What is the COL like? And what would be a reasonable pay? I would prefer to live on my own, and I have a pet cat too. If everything goes well, my partner would be looking to join me by the end of this year. I am open to living away from the campus if I can find affordable housing. I do have a car.

Would Orientation Be Worth It?

hello! first-time-freshman. Ive heard that you get academic advising at orientation (such as picking classes). But i haven't been cleared for my vaccines yet and therefore wont be able to pick classes there. Would it still be worth it to go?

(i live relatively nearby Miami. idk how this info would be useful)

Does anyone know this pretty cat?

We’ve nicknamed her Bagheera from the Jungle Book. She’s well fed and taken care of by the community but we noticed today her back right paw is hurt. Does anyone know if she’s just a random stray or a released pet from the dorms?

Missed Room and Roommate Selection

I have had a lot going on this week financially and I realized I missed room and roommate selection last week. What exactly are the consequences of this? I’m kind of freaking out here.. I selected the cheapest option for my housing preferences so if they pick a random room and roommate for me based on that hopefully I should be fine??? I don’t really have any reliable people at my school to help me navigate this or answer any questions. I’m just confused and hoping I didn’t mess everything up 😭

MUH 2022 History of Rock Music q

I will be taking this class online with professor Tranquilino Summer B.
For those who have already taken the class online, are the tests and quizzes required to be on a lock down browser or honor lock or anything proctored at all?
I am trying to get an idea of how the assessments will be.
Thank you.

Working ahead in online classes

I'm taking a total of 7 classes this summer, 3 session A, 3 session B, and 1 session C. I have a lottt of free time right now, like 6 hours a day, and i already completed the first 2 weeks worth of coursework. Would it be weird to finish my mini terms in a week or 2? All of the modules are opened, I just don't know if professors would think its weird bc the syllabus doesn't mention working ahead. Have you guys ever done this?

EDIT: I'm talking ab online classes btw!! My session C is in person and I'm doing it at the same pace as everyone else.

Question regarding Honors New Student Workshop.

Hi everyone. I already scheduled my Orientation day. I had my advising and registration day like 3 weeks ago + I enrolled for all classes I need that day.

Looking at the things I have to do according to the fiu website there something called New Student Workshop which I need to take because I’m an honors incoming freshman.

looking at how to register I only found (in the FIU website) that if I was accepted into honors and I accepted it (I did) I‘d receive an email register for the new student workshop.

Unfortunately, I did not receive any emails regarding the topic. Has this happened to anyone else? what would you recommend to me to do about it?

EDIT: I ended up solving the problem thanks to everyone who helped me or wanted to help me with the problem 😃.

First time doing FIU online

It's my first time doing online classes at FIU because the classes I need to take are only available online. How do these classes work? It says that the days and times are TBA. Does this mean there won't be any meetings at all? Will there be zoom meetings or anything?

Fiu Orientation in person vs online

Hello guys, just wondering if there is any worthwhile advantage of going in person to the orientation vs doing it online. I work full time so going in person would mean using a day of PTO from work.

Edit: to add that I am a transfer student.
