throwaway, i won't be looking back at this post.

don't join the (new?) christian group on campus, salt co. they exploit college students for oodles of free labor and their parent church asks you to give them your tax forms so they can make sure you're giving your tithes. as part of an evangelical group, they also push people towards christian extremism and colonialist behaviors (e.g. mission trips and trying to force christianity onto others).

salt brainwashed my sister and turned her into a science-denying fundie who tried with all her might to convert me despite me telling her several times i wasn't interested. if you're looking for christian friends, there are countless better organizations you can join. just please don't give salt any of your time or money.

Has anyone’s financial aid and/or loans been posted to their student account yet? Today is the fee due date, and mine still hasn’t posted. Just wondering if anyone else is waiting or has heard anything about when it will be posted.

Are there any places to fill up water besides at a dining hall? Maybe Langsam? Thanks.

When do they usually start posting about textbooks?

I have almost entirely music classes, except for Calc II. I brought my PC as well. Is a laptop necessary?

are there any cute shops near uc that sell japanese style trinkets (like sonny angels, smiskis, etc) besides the urban outfitters? looking to get a gift for a friend

A few days ago I received an email from UC saying that my financial aid had changed since I’m “not a full time student”. I am enrolled in 14 credit hours fall semester and I have been above 12 credit hours every semester. I sent an email back saying that and have not heard anything back. I got my refund and I am missing around $2,000!! I checked my portal. It said I was supposed to get a little over $11,000 total for this semester. I did the math for what tuition was and the return I received and it came out to around $9,200. What do I do???

I’m an upcoming Blue Ash student and just found out that ICE has been spotted on college campuses before and I was wondering if anyone here has ever seen an agent on the UCBA campus. I’m just worried.

Anyone get their refund yet?

EDIT: UC said they sent the refunds out this morning. He mentioned could show today or tomorrow depending on bank or how you asked to receive the refund

My aid hasn’t showed as paid yet I know it takes a few days but I’m anxious as all get out because it’s due on the 19th 😭

Comment what to eat off campus along with restraunt name

is it normal that my parent plus loan hasnt been registered in my catalyst or financial aid? when i go to my fafsa it says that loan was approved and now its up to the school but i havent received any changes in my billing amount. i was thinking maybe it might also be in part with the fact that my last to do item on catalyst was my immunizations, but i just wanted to know if anyone else was having this problem. is OBBA also part of my problem and will i face any penalties if i dont pay my bill in time?

If you get tuition remission has it shown up on your bill yet🧐. I can see my fasfa money but not my remission and it says UC approved it🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m confused. Called OneStop and they keep going to “we’re too busy” and the phone hangs up/ doesn’t even send you to voice mail

I study abroad September of this year and I been trying to get my academic advisor to fill out my academic approval form for the past 8 months, but he keeps either ignoring me or just not filling it out, Who can I get to fill it out since he wont and its required in order to be approved for studying abroad? Any advice please.

My daughter who is an incoming freshman and is scheduled to move in on Tuesday the 18th was just informed she no longer has her room and building assignment that she received in July for Stratford Heights. She is now in a quad room with four other girls and is very very upset about this. I heard an orientation. This is the largest incoming freshman class ever, so I am not surprised that this has happened. I am very disappointed that it is happening this soon before we move in since we have purchased things for the original room. She is very upset at the moment. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?

how do you know when room checks are happening? is there any warning? - incoming freshie

My financial aid was disbursed to me yesterday. After loans and scholarships, I should get about $3500 back as a “refund”, but I don’t see it on my financial activity on catalyst. How long does it usually take to see the refund?

UPDATE:

We found a storage place that has gated parking for $34/month with access right on the main bus line. Perfect situation, really. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

----------------------------------------------------------

My daughter was prepped and waited for a student parking pass, but wasn't able to snag one because she had not scheduled for classes yet (or so we were told) - we were bummed that we missed out!

She was hoping to have a vehicle down in Cinci, mostly to get home when needed and not for daily commutes back and forth or for various other close-by tasks. I have seen websites like neighborly, which offer some (rather sketchy) places to rent someone's driveway to park a car. Some other parking places have monthly parking passes but don't permit overnight or they don't permit the car to be left there for more than 5 to 7 days at a time.

I looked at storage places - the ones in the city proper aren't the type with parking - there are some outside the city (she doesn't mind taking an Uber or bus to her parking place) but they have limited access hours. This might be the way to go.

So my questions are:

What happens when a student backs out of their Student Parking pass? I don't see a waitlist option anywhere, but I am sure that students drop out or whatever and no longer use the pass...

Does anyone know of a place off campus that allows monthly overnight parking for students?

I am sure this has been posted, or something similar, and I am leafing through many posts, but I am finding dead links or outdated info, so I apologize if I missed anything...
