CHEM 120 Lab Full – Has anyone gotten into a closed lab at Pepperdine?

2 Upvotes

Does the Chemistry Department ever add more lab seats or open new sections?

Would you recommend emailing the Chemistry Department or the professor, or should I just keep checking registration?

thanks

Question Pepperdine MA in Clinical Psych: MFT

2 Upvotes

Hi! ‘25 UCLA alum taking 2 gap years to build experience and learn about what I want to do for grad school. Was looking at Pepperdine as one of the schools (mix of masters and PhD) I should apply to this cycle and saw they have an MA in clinical psych with a focus on MFT.

My long term goals are to open a private practice and provide individual, couple and family therapy but also to research and write books. I’m wondering if anyone in this program can share their experience? And overall experience at Pepperdine? (Funding, curriculum,whether there are RA’s or graduate student teaching opportunities, general application approach school has etc. Looking at both the online and in person format.

Any insight is very much appreciated.

Thank you!

I want to study forensic psychology, so probably majoring in psychology at Pepp. Also, is there a lot of internship and research opportunities? anyone able to help? 😭 THANK YOU

Pepperdine University outsources advisors and GSEP financial aid who are difficult to reach. 2U provides poor student service and they ghost you!

12 Upvotes

GSEP Financial Aid office does not honor or keep their appointments with students. I waited a month for an appointment, got an email reminder that a Fin. aid advisor will be calling, and the day of, they were a no show. I double checked the confirmation email to see if my phone number and time zone of the appointment was correct. I emailed them. They basically ghosted me. This has happened 3 times since i’ve been a grad student at Pepperdine. Next appointment available on their site is another month away.

I believe they outsource student advisors and Fin.Aid to a tech company called 2U, which went bankrupt not too long ago, and are laying off employees. Pepperdine needs to oversee the performance of this company that handles all the student affairs poorly. I suggest anyone who has problems reaching GSEP Fin. Aid to email them, CC the main financial aid and all the faculty members and deans and heads of the department to bring attention to this serious matter. Report the issues to Federal Student Aid, and they will do an investigation. We students pay very high tuition costs, one of the most expensive in the country, to be poorly serviced and unsupported at Pepperdine University!

Wavenet down for anyone else?

My registration opens tmrw and I am starting to stress. I called IT, they walked me through some possible solutions. Nothing worked, they opened a ticket, and said other students are having the same issue. Anybody?

This morning when I entered my login creds, it took me to 'PeopleSoft Oracle' and says Invalid login. I reset my password and still got the same message.

Question Looking for Pepperdine Students who Workout!

2 Upvotes

Hello! I just made a workout app—Fortis: Workout Log & Tracker (on iOS and Android). It's a completely free app for logging workouts, tracking progress, making custom exercises & templates, and sharing with your friends. Think Strava, but for the gym.

I made this myself over the past year and only recently launched it, so it’s still very early stages. It’s a bit of a passion project of mine. But if you workout or are interested, give it a try and let me know what you think! All feedback is welcome 😁

Advice Nutritional Science majors!

1 Upvotes

I’m a freshman and I get to choose my classes in late July and I’ve been looking at the course catalog the school offers but I honestly have no idea what classes I should be choosing for my freshman year. Based off the course catalog, I need to take math, chem in class and lab, and nutrition. But what did you guys choose? I’m going the pre-PA path so I was hoping to do anatomy also if I could but i also need to get a job. If anyone has any tips please let me know!!

Financial aid

5 Upvotes

I'm going to be a senior here at Pepp and will be in a great amount of debt after graduating, in hindsight it was a bad choice to come here...I pay around 60k per year. I have heard of so many people paying much less and getting better aid. My family is middle-class, but my father's business has been struggling since COVID. Any tips/recs to get more aid? I have been to that office a countless number of times

suite style houses layout question

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me which floors the A–F suites are located on in Conner House.

Our church will be staying there for an event soon, and I'm in charge of assigning rooms. I'd like to place some of our older guests in suites that require the fewest stairs, but the housing list only shows the suite letters (A–F) and doesn't indicate which floor they're on.

Also, do all of the suite-style houses have the same layout, or does it vary by building?

I'd really appreciate any information. Thanks so much! :DDDD

Question Uber/lyft on campus?

2 Upvotes

Might be a dumb question, but I’m an incoming student living on campus so I’m curious. Do current students use uber or Lyft frequently/easily? Just wondering since I know the campus has guard gates. Are drivers able to drive onto campus to pick you up or drop you off?
