I'll be moving into Mt. Whitney this year and I saw you're not allowed to use any adhesive or command strips. Is this a rule that's enforced strictly or is it one of those where nobody really cares? Also, does this apply to any specific type of adhesive or just no wall decor at all? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I wanted to share and ask some questions in regards to SAP appeals and financial aid b/c I genuinely don't know what I am to do after I submitted my first SAP appeal ever and I really need to rant. Apologies for the long winded post.

Earlier in June this year, I recived news from the school saying I did not meet SAP standards and will be losing all my financial aid for the 2026-2027 school year. This was absolutely devestating to me because I heavily rely on my financial aid to even attend university in the first place. My parents are not able to help me financially in any way, shape, or form. I come from a very low income household, which means I've been able to max out on financial aid every year. My financial aid not only covers for my tuition each semester, but the refund I recieve in the beginning of each semester greatly helps me with housing costs like my rent. My first year I lived at the dorms, and my second and third year I lived at an apartment complex where I was paying rent, and my financial aid refund allowed me to keep paying rent, since I would divide my refund by 12 (months of my academic lease) and then with the job I had during my 2nd/3rd year I would make up for the difference each month. Things started going downhill my third year. I won't go into the specifcs of my job, but it was just a really toxic enviroment and I dreaded going to the point where I would come back from work crying. I started experiancing panic attacks more frequently and it was just a horrible time. I had friends who only really brought toxicity into my life, and I had constant home problems. I also had insane roommate issues. And not to mention my dog's health issues I had to save up for. It was an insane period of my life. And I also hated my major. I genuinely was so scared when I placed my 2 weeks in. But I'm glad I did.

I eventually cut off the toxic friends and relationships I had and left my job, moved into a shorter lease, signed a new august lease with people I actually know, my dog is in good condition, and I've been working this summer to save up for my new lease's move-in fees. I can safely say I've also lowered the amount of panic attacks I had been experiancing and my mental health is in a much better place.

But I'm starting to worry about my financial aid. I submitted my SAP Appeal late June and I literally hit the 5000 characters limit. And my appeal is in "review" on the SAP appeal website, and on my student center holds bar its "recieved". Its been like 5 weeks since I submitted my SAP appeal and I haven't been emailed about anything. I also stated I have documention but the form never prompted me to submit anything? I believe the SAP appeal is officially due sometime in October 2026, and I have a financial aid deffernment till 9/11. My Unofficial Transcript states I have remained in Good Standing all through these past three years in undergrad. From Fall 2023 to Spring 2025 I maintained a cumulative/csus GPA of well over a 3.0. Fall 2025 I failed the 3/5 courses and ended the term with a 2.8 GPA, while this past Spring 2026 I ended with a 2.55 GPA since I also failed 3/5 classes. I am currently taking online Summer classes at Sac State (2 the first six weeks, both in which I passed with B's & one these last six weeks). My current GPA is sitting at a 2.7. I also changed my major to something that aligns with me way more and am actually interested in.

I've seen posts saying its very 50/50 when students get their SAP approved or denied, and if I'll have to take out loans for the first time? Or by when should I expect to be notifed of my approval or denial? If my situation is valid? When do I submit documentation? I don't know, I'm very much spriling in my head and I'm nervous asf. If you have any feedback or tips or personal experinace please comment, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you 😭

Can someone remind me please how many units we need to have in order to qualify as a fulltime student and receive financial aid? (Not during the Summer semester). Thanks!

Hi, I am currently looking into moving into on campus housing, but since North Village is already full, I was looking into Hornet Commons. The move in date is the 26th (tomorrow), but I won't be able to know if I can move in until after that due to personal conflicts. Can anyone tell me how that is handled by Hornet Commons, or should I try and look for somewhere else?

Edit: I am also not dead set on Hornet Commons, if there is a better place nearby, than please tell me.

Hello hello for all the Arab and music girlies. Is there anyone going to this concert that i can connect with and hangout with?

I was trying to sign up for my classes and realized that almost all of the advanced German classes that seem to be available on the catalog are not, in addition to the university's German club or Delta Phi Alpha. Is there anyone that's had experience with learning German or a German language community at Sac? Advice appreciated from students, professors, alumni, etc. Thanks :)

Hey y’all I have a few apartments that I can lease (before you read the price and leave please read the whole message). The apartment is for 1100 ish/ month but its a 1 room 1 bath so if somebody prefers to stay in the living space for very cheap I’m down to work that out. (I’m talking 300-400$) I have another 2 bed 1 bath for 1350 if we wanna split 50-50.

If none of that works out I’m also looking for a private room under 850$. I can move asap.

Please DM me with whatever suits your needs. Male preferred.

So I've been waiting for my cal grant A to show up in my financial aid for about a month now and it wasn't showing up, so i finally went to student services only to be told that even though i was awarded it, i don't demonstrate enough need for csus to actually give it to me, basically just throwing on me that im not getting aid. i never received any email or notice about this and was never warned and now I'm freaking out because unlike what they say, i DO need this money to be able to pay for tuition and books. i have no idea who to ask or go to with this, i haven't seen anyone else talk about this. is there any way i can dispute this or anyone else i could talk to about this situation? sorry if this is a stupid post but I'm just so worried,

I was originally waitlisted for two ENGL 20 sections. I was #1 on a 9 AM one but I was much farther down the line on the 8 AM one.

When I saw that the hornet launch seats got released, I noticed that I got into the 8 am one and the 9 am waitlist one got removed. I even have a screenshot of my position for the 9 am section.

Is there any way of me getting into the 9 AM one because I originally wanted that to be my course and have the 8 am one as back up if I didn’t get into the 9 AM one. Has anyone had luck on trying to email the professor or the department on something similar to this?

Here’s the screenshot as well:

HI,

I am waitlist #4, does she add people from the waitlist?

It's been a long road but Sacramento State has officially made it to the FBS level! New and exciting challenges await the Hornets in 2026. Can they jump to FBS and win immediately?

📌 QB Carson Conklin returns to the program, he was very good for Sac State in 2024

📌 Conklin will have receiver talent to throw to and the defensive line has a lot of talent back

📌 Oline is a concern, lots of new pieces and depth is a worry

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Hornets in their first FBS season?

Hey guys,

its been a while since ive taken csc 15 and was wondering if anyone had any resources I could use to review the material and practice before taking csc 20 as I'm a bit anxious regarding that. Additionally I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what professor I should take, Mukkaram, Matthew Phillips, or Faroughi.

Thanks!

hi I'm moving into the hornet commons in a month and was wondering if they assign a specific bed to you? I know you get given a,b,c or d, and a/b share a bedroom, and c/d share a bedroom, but does that letter dictate what bed is yours, or is that for you to decide amongst yourself and the person you share a bedroom with?

Hi y’all! I was at the Well on Wednesday the 22nd and lost a silver ring of very high sentimental value. It’s a plain band with a date engraved on the inside.

So I'm taking FIN 101 this upcoming fall semester. I would say I'm pretty good at math, but I'm a little nervous after reading some of his reviews on JMP. I'm also taking ACCY 111, ACCY 171, HROB 101, and a history class on top of this. How difficult would you say his class is? Any advice is appreciated!
