r/utrgv

Just heard UTRGV became an R1 institution

Has anyone taken or know of anyone that has taken Iris A. Aguilar? I have not found any review about her on rate my professor and I have asked on the Facebook group but no one answers.
I want to have my T&T schedule full so I can work the rest of the week.

Yeah so I know this isn’t the place for asking for help with this, but I don’t really have any other options. I’m an 18 yo sophomore who’s completed all of my core curriculum and recently got admitted into the BMED program, and I’m having issues with making a schedule. I have 0 income or support from my parents so I’m maxed out on FAFSA, Texas Grant, and the UTRGV tuition advantage, which means if I want to keep all of that I need to enroll for 15 hours for fall 26. The issue I’m running into is that I need to pretty much completely enroll in major specific classes, but all the upper level BMED courses need departmental approval. I have emailed four times, to two different emails, and waited over 3 weeks for a response while the classes fill. I’m not sure how to get the departments attention at this point, I feel like they’re not taking me seriously lol. I also made and appointment with my advisor but she told me she can’t help me since its BMED specific. (they have not emailed me my BMED advisors info) anyway, what can I do to get a schedule before it’s too late? Can I go somewhere in person? Does anyone in the program experience difficulties contacting the Biomedical Sciences Department? Any advice or help is appreciated, I’m desperate lol. I just wanna graduate.
