Hi guys, so I’m in a bit of situation in a class I have from M-W. To give context, I’m an older student in my late 20s because I come from a military background and took some time off from school. I tend to keep to myself in class. It’s just weird feeling when everyone makes you feel less or looks at you a mean way.

We sometimes have group projects and it’s like I point something out or make a point and they simply ignore it, for example I offered to turn in the work and they said maybe someone else should.

Even the professor watches ever little move I do, for example we have an in class group assignment and I always catch her glazing at me when I’m trying to discuss a topic. She’s thinking I’m making other students uncomfortable.

She takes attendance by paper and I sometimes sit in the back and she always gives it to the closes one to her but I sit in the back she just skips me.

Majority of the students in that class just mean look and try not sit close to me, which makes it’s a really weird feeling & just me in the back alone. It’s gotten to the point where I have to skip class because it’s not productive to attend the lectures. Idk what to do or say if I tell professor about it, she won’t really care. I already told her about the group project situation and she simply said it’s all in my head.

(Yes I have a meeting setup with an advisor to chat about it)
Any other suggestions on who to reach out?
Thanks guys!

Greetings,

I am an officer with YDSA at CSUN, and we are currently conducting research on public opinion surrounding AI usage in universities as well as the OpenAI contract.

The only information you should have to share about yourself is what year you are in.

If you could take this short survey, we would greatly appreciate it!

I am also willing to answer any questions students have.

Turnitin along with many other students has falsely flagged my writing and when I decided to do research on the company I discovered some terrible things.

Apparently Turntin is discussing using OUR WORK to train AI models as this article says

“Turnitin may use your submission (in aggregated, anonymised, and/or de-identified form) for improving or developing AI tools and other products, features, or services.”

https://universitytimes.ie/2026/10/british-and-irish-students-express-concern-over-turnitin-ai-policy/

Turnitin did delay this update but 2027 is sooner then you think. If there is anyway we can be against this please tell me I do not want my work being used to train AI.

I just applied for fall semester how long did it take for you y’all to hear back from them?

Hey guys, I was just curious around what time yall received your email of acceptance or rejection? It’s 5pm and I thought it would have been here already ( it’s for my husband)😭😅😅😅

EDIT

HE GOT ACCEPTED!!! 🥳Thank you so much for the help and well wishes!

Hey guys, i've applied to CSUN spring semester on September 22nd. I'm honestly incredibly nervous about housing since my number dropped from somewhere from #400 to #169 and it's stayed like that for about three weeks. Is it over for me? Should I stay at community for another semester? I don't know how I or my parents feel about off-campus to be honest. I'm a freshman transfer by the way.

Hello! I recently got an email about getting my aid revised. Upon checking, it showed a “Fall Semester 2026” under the Anticipated Aid section and showed an amount $. Today I only got the refund for MCS. When I check my account summary, they have added a “state university grant coa” which is what is showing under my anticipated aid section. Would I be refunded that money ? I have emailed UCS already. Just want to ask here and wonder if someone might have an answer lol thank you !

Next semester is my last semester and I need psy 321 and filler elective classes. Does anyone have any recommendations for any FUN or EASY professors that I can just have a chill final semester with 😭?

Usually it happens around these days but I haven't seen it come through. The financial aid office said October-November, should I be worried

I’m failing a class and I’m already on academic probation, but the drop deadline is passed. Is there any other way I can drop it? And if so, what is the process?

What happens if a fail another class while on academic probation?

Hey, I’m in a hard and abusive living situation and I’m trying to deal with that AND the semester.

Does anyone have any resources for me through the school? I have a way to get out but it’s across the country. I want to continue school.

Is it a bad idea to ask my professors if we could set up zoom classes? And I just… participate across the country?

Hello everyone

I am a Linguistics MA student and I am currently working on a project that tests dialect imitation- specifically focusing on imitation of Southern American English.

If there are any native English speakers (preferably from the West Coast) here that believe that can produce an accurate imitation of this dialect please PM me!

If it is not too much trouble I am looking for someone to send me an audio recording of them speaking with their normal speech patterning and then one of them using the dialect! I would be sending a super short script to read (about 1 or 2 paragraphs) and each recording shouldn’t take longer than a minute!

Please let me know if you have any questions

i live in an apartment complex across the street from CSUN and usually at least once a day i hear the same sound clip of a short trumpet fanfare. it always plays twice in a row with the exact same interval in between each one. it sounds far away but clear so it must be pretty loud. i can only assume it’s coming from CSUN? something to do with campus sports maybe? i just think it’s funny and i wanna know where it’s coming from.

How long did it take for u guys for the MCS to show up, I got one last semester but haven’t seen anything for this semester.

Has anyone gotten their disbursement yet?

I usually get the middle-class refund by now, but I just checked, and now I have a State University grant. I called, and they told me I have nothing pending and that the State University grant probably paid for my tuition, but they weren't sure.

Hello I have an assignment due on Wednesday and I need some reading materials. I tried looking at the class module (ANTH 308), and tried looking online but I couldn’t get these without having to sign up for something or stuck behind a paywall. Was hoping if anyone had these or knew where I can get these?:

- Nancy Scheper-Hughes, "Lifeboat Ethics: Mother Love and Child Death in Northeast Brazil"

- Richard Mora, "'Do It for All Your Pubic Hairs!': Latino Boys, Masculinity, and Puberty"

- Alison Rooke, "Trans Youth, Science and Art: Creating (Trans) Gendered Space"

- Daisy Deomampo, "Transnational Surrogacy in India: Interrogating Power and Women's Agency"

- Shellee Colen, "'Like a Mother to Them': Stratified Reproduction and West Indian Childcare Workers and Employers in New York"

- Sharon R. Roseman, "'Strong Women' and 'Pretty Girls': Self-Provisioning, Gender, and Class Identity in Rural Galicia"

It’ll be much appreciated, thank you!

I’m not sure what to do and I feel lost. I went through a traumatic experience early in the semester (resulting in me missing out on 2-3+ weeks of school) and it heavily deterred me from my academic path. I’ve notified and reached out to professors about said experience (primarily via email, but also recently in person) but not a lot of them have responded/reached back out/taken the time to talk to me about making up any missed assignments. Now that midterms are here and we are going towards the end of the semester, I’m extremely nervous as my grades have slipped heavily. I’m not sure what to do or how to communicate with professors anymore. I know they don’t owe me anything concerning submitting late assignments, but it would be nice to see if there was anything I could do.

Has anyone dealt with this? What advice or recommendations do you have?
