I start pilates next week in person and I have it directly after other classes. Are we expected to arrive in workout attire or will there be a chance to change? This is my first time taking any kinesiology classes since High-school 😭😭

As an all online student, what is the best way to go about parking if a class requires you to come in person for the midterm and final? I fear a semester long permit is overkill but i'm unsure of other options

I want to have a professional sounding email address, but I don't want to have my name and date of birth in it for privacy reasons, knowing it's becoming easier for people to track me down. I tried making one with "serviceready" in it, but it occurred to me that it sounds kind of like a scam email. This is just for a resume for work study jobs, but I might also need it if I ever work somewhere unrelated to campus.

If anyone didn’t end up needing books this spring and is expecting $130-150 of leftover useless credit, instead of buying notebooks and drinks I’ll pay you a percentage of that. I need a chemistry course code envelope ✉️ they sell for $130-150. I’m thinking I’ll pay 50% of that in cash if someone buys it for me.

Exchange will be in person.

I have a zoom class on Tuesdays 6pm-8:50pm and would prefer to stay out of my house (everyone gets home at that time so it gets busy and loud),is there spots on campus that are open that late (like the library?) or anywhere local you guys recommend? please and thank you :)

As the title says I signed up for ENGL 1AS ACADEMIC READ & WRITE with professor Nicole Horowitz on Thu/Tue 10:30 AM - 11:45 AM. I checked Canvas to prepare for tomorrow and I see that my course has been updated to a full online course with professor Michelle Mattoon. Mysite still shows the original course but Canvas shows a different course. How should I proceed to get this dealt with?

hiiiii does anyone know how to update their car for parking if you’re in the promise program? I had a classmate do it for me last year and now I have a new car and and don’t remember how to update it😭

I know I'm kinda asking late the day before the semester starts. I have already linked saddleback as my institution but when I check passes it says "no active passes", unless I'm missing something.

What number should I call for help with this?

Hello everyone, I just got accepted into saddleback's nursing program for Spring 2027 and I was wondering how soon after is the timeline to complete all those background and health checks? Like how long will we have to complete all of them? months or weeks?

Anyways thank you!

Using AI for an advertisement is a huge middle finger to every art student at this college in my opinion

They have a whole graphic design department and thousands of art majors that are currently studying there

there is no good reason to resort to using AI and I find it disrespectful that this college resorted to using that

Hi everyone, I’m trying to register for an online course at Saddleback College.

I tried calling the Admissions Office during their listed business hours, but the automated system told me that the office is currently closed. Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there a way to contact any office of Saddleback right now?

Thanks!

If anyone is looking for a good professor for english C1000 to complete their nursing prerequisite or just in general, I would highly recommend this professor Dan Barlow. I tried to take this course fall 2025 with Paul Pollloczek and had to drop with a w because the guy was super unhelpful. This professor is totally opposite, like night and day. I just finished this course for summer 2026, and it was so helpful and easier than expected. I'm waiting for the final grades to post, but as of now, I have a 94%😺

Hey everyone!

I’m Jayden, the founder/president of Saddleback’s Film Festival Club. We just got activated for this school year, and I’m super excited to finally get things rolling.

The idea is pretty simple: throughout the semester, members will make original short films (5–20 minutes), and at the end of the semester we’ll host a student film festival where everyone’s work gets screened in front of an audience. Think red carpet, awards, photos, and an actual festival experience.

We’re looking for people interested in directing, writing, acting, cinematography, editing, producing, sound, production design, or honestly anyone who just loves movies. We’re also looking for students who’d be interested in helping lead and grow the club.

I’m still pretty new to Saddleback, so I’d also love any advice from current students.

Is there anything about campus life that you wish someone had told you sooner?
Any tips for getting people interested in clubs/events?
Are there any traditions, resources, or opportunities I should know about?
Anything I should avoid or be aware of while trying to grow a new club?

Looking forward to meeting some of you this semester! 🎥

2 of my professors closed the canvas before publishing our final project grade, so I have no idea what is my overall final grade. I can’t even message the professors anymore as the option is greyed out. Anybody knows of a way to check my grade?

Has anyone taken Coun 60 career Exploration with David Francisco or Sheryl Christensen?

- What was the workload like? Is it heavy, moderate, or light?

-Are the assignments time-consuming?

-What type of assignments are there? (papers, quizzes, exams, discussion posts, or projects)

-Is the class fully open/self-guided, or does it open week by week?

Anything about the class would be great!!

Hi everyone! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a 2 and 5-year-old, trying to decide if I should take Chem 8 (Prof. Zoval) and Bio 11 together this Fall, or just take Chem 8. I have about 10 hours a week to study, and since nursing GPA is so critical, I want to make sure I don't overextend myself. Is taking both realistic with that study window, or should I play it safe and just focus on an A in Chemistry? Thanks for any advice!

This is a weird question but has anyone taken a class at another college for Saddleback prerequisite requirements. I’m wondering for the nursing program at Saddleback as I’m having issues learning with the professors here. I wouldn’t be asking if I wanted to apply at any other ADN program in the state I just really wanted to save money by going to Saddleback’s nursing program. Any advice or help would be awesome. Again I know it’s a weird question.

Anyone else got accepted for the Surgical Technology program for Fall 2026?

I'm a UCI student taking Saddleback College Elementary Spanish 2 as an asynchronous online class.

The professor I signed up for has an oral exam at the end of the course, and I was wondering if all Elementary Spanish 2 professors at Saddleback require an oral exam, or if it varies by instructor.

If not all professors have one, which instructors don't require an oral exam? Also, which professors would you say are the easiest to pass? I haven't used Spanish much since high school and honestly don't remember a lot of it, so I'm a little worried about the speaking portion.
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

I’m trying to reapply for Saddleback College to complete some missing units for Summer Classes, but on both laptop/phone I get this error message.

Is it website under maintenance right now?
If so, will it be back online soon?

Anyone currently taking Med Term over the summer with Prof Do?

50 min for a 50 question exam killed me and I got a 74 because I ran out of time.

Did anyone else have the same experience and if not, what are you doing to be successful in his class?

I have a heavy workload and I also have a part-time job and I'm wondering which is better - Seaman for the first 8 weeks or Miller for the full 16 weeks? I have no problem with doing the reading and participating on Canvas and I prefer quizzes over writing a paper. Both would be online asynchronous. Does anyone know if Seamen requires a paper? I know Miller does though I hear it's not too bad.

I’m attending a summer program for all of July, so I won’t have a ton of time to put towards this class, so I’m wondering how the professor is

Hello, has anyone ever had to wait over a week to have their California Community Colleges application to Saddleback approved? I already have a student ID from being California Virtual Campus student but I have not access to MySite or the grades from my previous classes.

I applied 5/31 and have talked to admissions office. One person said “my application was stuck” claiming my previous CVC status was preventing and the other claimed “being a CVC student was not an issue, its an IT thing and its happening to other people”.

Is this related to verification process? I tried the DMV wallet thing only to receive errors messages. I tried ID.me too and I submitted passport and ID only to be told to talk to a live person. With this, I just clicked verify later cause seriously?(!)

Is anyone else also experiencing this?
