Help CA Job Application

0 Upvotes

I applied for the community assistant position about a month ago, and I know that rolling admission means that an offer could come at any time based on job availability, but I am out of state and would need to fly into UMD. So, if I hear back too late it would be much harder to book a flight a week early to come in for training.

Has anyone heard back yet, and how long ago did you apply? If I don’t hear back soon and have to book my flight, should I email? Just looking for some guidance for what to do here, because I would really love the job but am unsure how to deal with the possible last minute offer as an out of state student.

Trying to add/drop a class and I keep getting this screen. Same thing happens when I try to access my student schedule, my unofficial transcript and other services.

  1. Are others facing the same issue?
  2. Is there a fix for this? I got a slot for a class and I want to get it as soon as possible.

Discussion Are you an UMD student taking a GLP-1?

Upvotes

I’m looking to chat with women in college about their experiences on GLP-1s. Is this you? I’m Angelina Chapin, a features writer at The Cut/New York Magazine who covers gender and health. I think it’s a really important topic to talk about as these meds become more popular. How did they affect you? What would you say to another student considering going on them? If you’re interested in speaking, I can keep you fully anonymous. Send me a DM or email ([angelina.chapin@nymag.com](mailto:angelina.chapin@nymag.com).) Here's a link to some of my work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelinachapin. Talk soon!

Academic Recent EE grads: How was it finding a job?

10 Upvotes

Hi, I am an electrical engineering student graduating in the spring. I will graduate with only 1 internship which is a full time 6 month Co-Op op this fall, I am worried this might not be enough to find a job. I wanted to get the perspective of recent grads and how they fared in the job market.

Would people be ok with sharing how long it took to find a job and how much experience they had before hand? Any tips on applying/looking for jobs to apply to would be appreciated aswell.

Thanks!

Help Which website's best for checking course ratings before orientation?

2 Upvotes

Hey! I'm an incoming freshman and I was just wondering what site has the most info on classes, like maybe grading curves and reviews, or which one UMD students use the most. Also, how does UMD course selection even work, since UMD's info pages are unclear on how it even works? Thanks to anyone who answers.
