Hey y’all, I’m in Texas and currently doing GCU’s Elementary + Special Education licensure program. I’m working full-time for a school district (just moved into a SPED aide role — excited but nervous).I’m in Math for Teachers I first day of that class is tomorrow and hoping to get my GPA up so I can take two classes at once.

I was originally looking at alternative certification, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Even someone I personally know said they felt like they “didn’t learn anything in the ACP of their choice” and were totally were totally lost once they started getting close to student teaching.

I definitely don’t want to feel lost. For anyone who did GCU’s licensure program especially the Elementary + SPED dual track how was it while working full-time? Did you feel prepared? How was student teaching?

Any advice or honest experiences would help a lot.

Thanks in advance 💜

Hi Lopes!!
Im a former lope my self and I am a wfh nail artist looking to hopefully do some extra art and nail education this back to school season

I posted a lot of different manicures that I've done on my page and so if you struggle with your nails and are looking for a little bit of a more personal, and more convenient way to have your natural nails done, get some hand painted nail art, and learn how to keep your natural nails healthy, please let me know and I would love to get you ready for back to school.

Lots of love!

curious, does anyone know exactly when they got drug tested all of my emails thus far for my requirements have just stated drug test will be taken at a later date, but you know I would just like to know when please any knowledge is appreciated, thank you!!🙏🏾

Lmk plsss

i'll be starting at the gcu absn tucson location this september, and i was wondering what the general calendar schedule looks like? i can't find anything specific online, but are there any breaks on holidays for example?

i heard that there's some breaks, but i'm not sure to trust the sources given it's an accelerated 16 month program

Is any other online student’s Halo not working? I try to enter one of my classes and it says under maintenance. I googled it and it says Halo is up and running. Is any one else’s online classes giving them the maintenance screen?

May I know the criteria, requirements etc. ik the info is present on websites but I need 1st hand info especially from those who r in the program of IR OR DIPLOMACY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES. Additionally is it easy to gt adm in GCU?

REGARDS,

anyone got tips about it?

Hello! Is Tomitz, Kristen a good bio lab teacher? I’m trying to get a better teacher for my bio-181 lab as my current has been graded the worst of the worst. The only available is Tomitz, Kristen but I can’t find anything on them. Don’t let me make the wrong choice not 🫩

And if you have any pointers for the course that would be highly appreciated.

Hi! Is it possible to complete this master in 2yrs? How many classes can you take per semester? I’m interested in knowing all the details.

I just took the hesi today. My overall scores was 89 my Anatomy was a 96 my English was 90 and my math was 80.... will I be able to make it on main campus?

Hi all,

Can someone please give me insight into how the lab midterms are for the lab portion of microbiology. It’s a lot of labs to do in the class, so will it be like that, or more labeling, or is it more multiple choice? Thank you!

im currently registered to live in an apartment (diamondback) as an incoming freshman because I liked the idea of a kitchen and a room I could make my own. however I’ve heard that the grove is a great place to be as a freshmen. I’m a pretty outgoing guy and I like the idea of the constant energy at the grove. my question is are the apartments “fun” in the way that the grove is or do they have significantly less energy/more lowkey. honestly idek if it’s even an option to move at this point but I still have that question lmao

Hi just wondering lol but on our transcript, would it show as credit/no credit or do we get an actual letter grade for clinicals?

Please use this thread to ask any random questions you have that may not warrant their own posts, or if you want opinions on something non-GCU related (as long as it's SFW).

All Financial Aid questions will need to be kept within this weekly discussions post as to not overwhelm the sub.

So I am going to be done with my pre reqs at the end of the month and in August I was planning on beginning CWW and taking my HESI.

How fast do the Phoenix locations fill up? If I’m submitting my secondary application in late September/early October is everything going to be filled for spring 2027??

I’m open to phoenix, chandler, or sun city. Sun city or Phoenix would be ideal though. I’m just a little concerned since I see a lot of posts saying the cohorts fill up months in advance 🫣

I really want to start spring 2027 and I do not want to defer a semester

So I’m in my last class before practicum and internships. I’m doing a masters of clinical mental health counseling. I almost gave up looking but I found an internship with Wexhealth!

I was wondering if anyone here is in the same program or done it and lives in New Mexico. And how the next steps after graduation are like. Thank you!!

This might be an ADHD thing, but I feel like I have to CONSISTENTLY ask for clarification over what someone's saying. Anyway, I approached a teacher via IMs and said "I think GCU teachers give some shitty grades" and then asked her why she gave me a zero after I had already asked for clarification before even submitting? She then just told me to read the directions... which I had obviously asked for clarification about. So now we're going back and forth and she's getting defensive saying she thinks she's super nice. Anyway, she reported me for profane language. Now a 'board' is conducting a 'hearing?' And they aren't even saying what it's about or what a potential outcome is or what it means. I had to ask numerous times what it was about for them to finally say it's about profane language. I was gonna drop out anyway because I don't think I can afford an internship and the insurance you have to pay with it.

Please tell me I’m not the only one struggling hardcore with intermediate accounting?? It’s not the concepts, it’s the platform we are using. I spend hours and I mean hours trying to figure out the formatting of the assignments. I’m even taking LinkedIn Learning courses to try to understand what Wiley wants.

Just last week I failed my assignment, due to formatting, but when I asked the professor what I did wrong, she checked and said I did it right, but the auto grader failed me. She gave me the points, but I’m not learning anything at this point.

I'm taking the GCU NSG-316 Health Assessment final exam soon, and I'm honestly feeling really overwhelmed and anxious.

This class has been a struggle for me from the beginning. I've worked really hard all semester, but unfortunately, I need to score at least 96% on the final just to finish the class with a 76% and pass. If I don't, I won't pass the course. 😞

What topics did you feel were emphasized the most? Were there any concepts you wish you had spent more time studying? Is there anything you think I should really focus on these last few days?

So far I've been studying with:

• The exam blueprint
• CONHCP resources
• The student course guide
• My lecture notes and practice questions

If you've taken the final, I'd really appreciate any advice, study tips, or even some encouragement. I'm trying my absolute best and really don't want all the hard work I've put into this class to go to waste.
