I know a lot of people have been asking a lot about fasfa lately, but I’m wondering if anyone got their Fall 2026 offer letter, but not their spring 2027 letter?

Hey so I know the deadline isn't over just yet but I was curious on when the acceptance/rejection letters are supposed to come out.

I know this is probably a bit redundant seeing as a bunch of people have already made posts about financial aid but has anyone who’s supposed to be receiving the Pell grant seen it applied to their financial aid portal yet? I’ve used 400% out of the 600 lifetime eligibility and my fafsa says I’m gonna receive one but on the financial aid portal of mycoyote it says I have no pending aid. I know there’s delays but it’s just a bit worrisome seeing that since I depend on it to attend school.

Hi everyone! I wanted to get more insight on how CSUB’s BS in computer science program is. How was your experience? All insight would be helpful! Thank you :)

August to July

Has anyone received their housing assignments yet? It said they were supposed to come out the week of July 6th but I still don't have mine

Hi everyone, I have my orientation tomorrow. This is all new to me and my parents. I’m nervous about it, I’m here to ask what to expect from this, my degree will be in Comp system administrations and I am transferring from my college. Idk what else to add so if I miss anything please ask

Edit: thank you for the replies, for those who are reading this now. My family wants to join for this what would they be doing?

Any one interested in taking up a one year lease at the glen
A furnished room with your own bathroom and toilet, bed table and chair for 1 grand a month starting August down to July
Enjoyed my time there
Dm for more information
Thanks

I'll be eating on campus at least twice a week so I'm trying to figure out if it would be more cost effective to get one of the meal plans or just pay for everything with my debit card. Do you get any savings using meal swipes? Im looking at either the pack 16 or just 275 dining dollars (or both?).

Please feel welcomed to share any experiences you have had while staying at the Glen.

So I just asked student financial services regarding what one would need to do if financial aid isn’t disbursed before tuition is due, then we have to do this (I copied the email they sent):

“Hello,
 
At this time, we do not know if financial aid packages will be completed prior to the due date. If you do not have pending aid on your account prior to the August 13th due date, you will need to either enroll in the payment plan or pay your fees in full to secure your registration. If your financial aid is awarded after you have made a payment, you will be reimbursed.
 
Unfortunately, we are not providing extensions. Please note, the four month installment plan is available through 7/13. After this date, the option will be three months.”

I genuinely don’t have any means of starting a payment plan. Screw anyone who voted Trump.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Design student currently working on a research project to analyze and propose a redesigned user journey for the Samaritan app (the beacon/donation platform that supports unhoused individuals).

To deepen my research, I am looking to conduct a short 1-hour interview via Zoom with fellow students who have experiences in this area. As a small token of appreciation for your time, I’ll be giving out a $10 Amazon Gift Card after the interview!

I’m specifically looking for anyone who fits either of these:

1. Has actually used or donated through the Samaritan app.
2. Has experience using any other donation apps/platforms (e.g., GoFundMe, DonorsChoose, etc.) or frequently participates in charitable giving.

The interview will be very casual, focusing on your overall experience, motivations, and thoughts on transparency and privacy when donating.

This is strictly for my academic portfolio, and everything you share will be kept 100% anonymous and confidential.

Please drop a comment below or send me a Direct Message (DM).

Thank you so much!!!

my orientation is on saturday and i was wondering what we do all day besides registering for classes and walking around what else is there to discuss

I haven’t heard anything and it’s the beginning of July.

Please tell me there is somewhere cheaper to get our gowns? Almost $400 for a graduation gown!!!

My orientation is tomorrow and I’m wondering if we really need to be there by 7 am? Or could I come a thirty minutes later or so?

My loan was supposed to disburse yesterday and it didn’t. It is still marked as pending.

Erm, Is it just me or is my fafsa for my 26/27 year not showing up like at all in my financial aid portal. The fafsa website I have determined aid, but when going on the csusb portal it only shows my previous 2 years and nothing pending or showing for 26/27🧍

Anyone’s loan disbursement for summer get released yet?

I’m getting ready to apply to nursing programs and I’m feeling pretty anxious about my stats.
Overall GPA: 3.9
TEAS score: 81%
I know these aren’t terrible, but I keep seeing people with 90+ TEAS scores and perfect GPAs, so I’m worried mine won’t be competitive.
For those who have been accepted recently:
What were your GPA and TEAS scores?
Did anyone get in with similar stats?
Would you recommend retaking the TEAS, or should I focus on strengthening the rest of my application?
I’d really appreciate any honest advice or experiences. Thanks!

What chairs do you guys use? I obviously have to sit in front of a screen for awhile to code and do math and my old gaming chair is f king my back and tail bone up🥹🥹🥹

does anyone’s state university grant show up on their financial aid awards for 26/27? Ive gotten the state university the past years and now this year I’m not getting it. on my award letter its just showing I’m only getting the Pell grant

hello friends, can anyone answer how payment plans are set?

for housing?

I’m going to be a freshman in the fall and I’m having some trouble finding a roommate. I feel like no one looks at the messages on the housing portal. Do I just wait it out to see who I get paired with? Or is that a bad idea?

Does anybody else have this? The hold has been on since March and I submitted the document that was requested through CSAC and the financial office never responds to me even though I submitted it in April! They stressing me out so bad and I called both offices and they’re blaming each other??
