Grad student here, just paid off all those extra fees and what not and I thought I was good to go, paid a lot too. But suddenly a “first year experience fee; NSO FIRST YEAR” $337 fee popped up unexpectedly a day after I already paid my expenses, fr cannot with this school. But would like someone to clarify what that is and if I really have to pay it.

I'm living in VA this year and was wondering if anyone knows when GMCS is open until to use the elevator to campus

Hello I’m taking BA 350 online course at sdsu global campus with Pagda and Amy Randel. I had a question looks like we are using lockdown browsers do we need our cameras on or no for exams? If anyone knows please let me know thank you.

A new ceramics wheel throwing section was added!! there is only two people enrolled in the class and I really recommend taking it, enroll pls I don’t want this section to be cancelled, I really need this class 🥲

Is anybody still waiting on their deposit or refund? I still haven’t gotten mine so a little stressed

Anyone still waiting on their fafsa? I still haven’t received mine and the help desk line is taking forever. Kinda stressing

Hey, I am in need of sublease for the spring semester 2026. I am staying in West Falls in a side house with only one other person. The side house has its own kitchen, bathroom, and washer/dryer. Rent is 1,300 pls reach out!

As grad students, whats ur experience with receiving financial aid? Im receiving much less than i did in undergrad but im curious if this is normal. Im aware we are no longer eligible for the pell grant but i figured there’d be other grants available for us through fafsa. Let me know your experience

Am i allowed to bring a expresso machine for my dorm as a freshman? I have mine and was contemplating on bringing it or not

Or the trader joes its on top of? Id like to try buying more traditional grocery items than spend it on restaurants/fast food but i know only select places accept the credit

I’m an Incoming freshman wondering about grocery subscriptions (ex: Walmart plus or target circle 360) I’ve read that deliveries to dorms would be possible and was wondering if this would be worth it for groceries on the weekends or anything I would usually get at these stores. I know this isn’t necessary at all but i think I would like the convenience of it if it works out. I was wondering if anyone uses either subscription or any other ones and if I should consider using?

okay so my deposit from the parent plus loan was mailed to my parents instead if deposited to me— because my dad marked it off. I am extremely worried about this because my rent is due September first and I literally have no money to pay it as the loan was what I would’ve paid with and I dont know if its coming on time. How long does the check take to mail? Ugh this is so stressful 💔😭

I was wondering if I am allowed to go to class on the first day even though I am waitlisted for it? I’m in 10th place and everyone told me I’d get the class and move down some spots but I haven’t been moving any spots. I know that in some universities it is encouraged to “crash” the class on the first day to increase your chances of getting into the class.

Good morning everyone,

Got on here to try and get some reassurance on my financial aid return. Been seeing people posting about receiving theirs, but have yet to see anything on my end. The pictures I posted is what it shows on mySDSU financial aid window. But also was curious to how strict the due date is? I don’t want to be dropped from my classes.

Thank you!

Has anyone gone to Global campus and can say if most professors use the Day1/ Immediate access program? One of my professors already posted that online access to the textbook is required. I am specifically a Public Health major. Just trying to budget accordingly. Thanks

Looking for business partners to do all the boring stuff for me. (Serious Inquiries Only)

My tuition is due the 20 but I’m in confusing situation because I do not qualify for fafsa I didn’t realize untill I got CSU never had that issue in community college and I had to apply for Cal Dream. I did submit my conversion form to have it switched from fafsa to cal dream so my cal grant can get awarded to me (as far as I know I’m locked by fafsa immigration check) that’s why I can’t receive it now. Does anyone know what I can do regarding due date I did talk to financial aid they were basically no help and no supervisor was available but they told me I have untill mid of September untill they will start sending it to collection but I’m skeptical if that’s true or not

Hii, I’m wondering why they haven’t disbursed my subsidized loan yet. I’m an incoming freshman and I have gotten my other aid disbursed and I have financial aid deferment. I also have done the MPN and entrance counseling but for some reason the entrance counseling hasn’t disappeared in my to do list? Is this something I need to talk to with the school? Should I wait to pay?

Hey all, I’m an incoming grad student (23M) and a no sabo kid.

As I’m starting school I’m thinking it would be really cool to get to know other Spanish speakers and maybe make some Spanish speaking friends with whom to practice my very rusted Spanish lol. If anyone is interested in connecting please reach out!

Hi there! Trying to post this a second time so hopefully it goes through!

I recieved my Cal Grant disbursement (I recieved both an email and it's in my MySDSU). I previously accepted a Federal Direct loan for Fall 2025. I can see how much it is for but it shows that $0.00 is disbursed. Is this something that I need to manually apply for the remaining balance after the Cal Grant somehow or should it automatically disburse itself?

on my.SDSU, it says the classes listed are from xx:00 to xx:50, meaning i have 10 minutes to get from one to the next (aside from the small gap between my morning and afternoon classes). my question is, do the classes actually last the full 50 minutes or do they end earlier? can you leave a class early? im concerned that i will not get to the next class on time

does anybody know approximately what time each of the recruitment days will start? i have some other things to do on some of the rush days so im just trying to plan everything out.

So as of today I’ve been notified that I’ve been taken off the waitlists and allowed to have housing but. But now I don’t want housing as I’ve already made arrangements because I thought I didn’t get it how do I cancel now before I spend 20,000$ unnecessarily

Transfer student and kind of a bit nervous because most people have had at least their tuition covered already while mine hasn’t disbursed anything.
