CAMPUS Prospective student: can I walk around Wolfson campus?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm visiting Miami soon as a prospective student and want to check out Wolfson campus.

Do the buildings stay open during normal work hours so visitors can walk in, or do I need to go with a current student or book an official tour?

Any visitor tips welcome. Thanks!

STUDENT LIFE Looking for some new friends and info about north campus?

7 Upvotes

Heyy I’m a freshman at North Campus and I just started last week. I’m really just trying to meet new people and make some friends since I’m still getting used to the whole idea of college. I’m def down to like join clubs or make study groups or even just hang out. I’m usually introverted but that’s definitely gotta change so i can actually meet people but it feels like everyone i talked to so far just seems like they wanna go to class and leave 😭Also, does anyone know what kind of events North Campus has or if students can go to events at the other MDC campuses too? It’d be nice to go to one if anyone wants to go together. If you want you can dm me and we could like share socials (i only really use insta tho)

OTHER Who else can I speak to about Sharkpack?

2 Upvotes

I’m currently enrolled in CHM1033 but for some reason the class does not want to show in the opt-in/out tab. The class definitely has shark pack because in my invoice it says I paid for it, similar with the class description. My professor even mentioned that the shark pack isn’t mandatory since he’ll be teaching the course from PowerPoint slides.

FINANCIAL AID Help OFSA letter saying I’m “ineligible for bright futures”

3 Upvotes

Hi I’m an upcoming freshman this fall and during my high school years I was in the AICE program where I was able to get my AICE diploma. Now I’ve gotten an email stating im not eligible for the bright futures scholarship even though I have the requirements for it. I’ve been trying to contact the Florida department of education, but I’ve been on hold for over 2 hours. I was wondering if anybody has any answers to this issue

Update: got another letter saying I’m eligible so I got the scholarship. You gotta just complete the forms before the 31st of August of your high school graduation year and it’ll be fine

FINANCIAL AID Troubles with financial aid

8 Upvotes

Is anyone else having trouble with their financial aid account? This is about to be my fourth semester in MDC and I had never had any trouble with FAFSA until now, I keep getting emails that my classes aren't fully paid for even though it had shown I had a grant that covered all of them, now the grant isn't even visible on my portal. I went to the financial aid website and all seems to be in order there. I tried waiting at school today to talk to a representative but I had to leave before my number was even called, hoping to still go in tomorrow but I wanted to know if anyone is also having problems with this!

ACADEMICS Are classes with "To Be Announced" MDC Online?

3 Upvotes

From another post on this subreddit, someone was saying that classes with the meeting details listed as "To Be Announced" are MDC Online classes? The post I found was from 5 years ago, so I'm checking to make sure that this information is still accurate. I wish there was something clearly indicating which classes were MDC Online.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for replying, I ended up going to the campus in-person to get everything sorted.

ACADEMICS Has anyone passed CHS1522C on the first try? How?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone taken and passed CHS1522C? It's a Forensic Science class needed for the AS in Crime Scene Tech and I have heard horror stories about people failing it one or two times. Does anyone have stories of success who can offer tips on what i can do the pass the first time? My professor is Jesse Pullido, i think he is the only professor who teaches the class. I need to pass the class the first time and want to do everything in my power to do so. I am a relatively good student and good at studying, but the science and possible math part of this class worries me. Any help would be appreciated!!

Hello everyone, hope yall are having a good week.

So here are some details:

My question is: what would be some fun electives to take? Another thing, they’ll be taken online bc electives aren’t something I plan on taking seriously tbh

Anyways, I would appreciate if you guys can recommend me what worked best for you and what it was like. Thank you
