Good morning

AV holds are now on. Which means if you did not complete an activity for the courses that you are in , your financial aid will back off. This is taken care of between professor and student. Once the assignment is completed the hold will come off within 24-48 hours and your aid will reflect back in a couple days after that. The only reason you would need to speak to the financial aid office is if you are having issues with the profesor posting the assignment. In that case we can see if students in the class have completed the assignment if not then we will forward to the admin team. If other students have completed the activity we will direct you back to the professor

Thank you !

Hey yall! is anyone available to do 1:1 tutoring for Organic chem 1? I will pay. Once a week is good enough for me. I just need help with the basic concepts. thanks!

Girl at the bookstore told me we were all fronted $600 of financial aid to spend at the bookstore but ONLY during the first week. I'm a little annoyed about this lol.

Three weeks eating off couch cushion coins for the refund just to find out I was allotted $600 and never told about it. Man I just wish they'd let us know about that lmao

Was anyone else made aware of this? I am trying to find a single email or something that I might have just missed but it looks like it just wasn't announced or anything.

I'm @ betheworm1738 on Fishbrain or you can dm me here. Hi guys! I'm a returning SWFL local who learned to fish in Wisconsin creeks and I've fallen in love with the saltwater fishing down here just in the first week of classes!

Maybe you've been fishing for as long as you can remember? Or you're just getting into it yourself? Let's talk!!!

I've been fishing the Naples beaches from like 6:30-9ish am most mornings and in the evenings I might go to an inland park with a pond. There are some near FGCU (not on campus property) I wanna explore. I usually use the fishbrain app for spots at the moment.

Current goals:

• Whiting - fill my tiny 9QT cooler with some to take home (maybe up to four can fit) at least once
• Snapper
• Catch a snook! (season opens in a month) no trophy just c&r
• Keep practicing and learning more about fishing in general and the purposes for different bait and lures
• Cast farther (I'm short)

Some things to know about me:

• I'm a transfer student majoring in Biology. Not sure what concentration yet.
• My pole is from Goodwill and my "tackle box" is an insulated lunch bag - I won't judge whatever kind of gear you have
• Not single and not looking for anything but whiting, snook, snapper, etc.
• I was raised in Florida for all years of K-12 but never fished or saw fishing up close until I moved to Wisconsin. Now I live here again and I fell in love with fishing :) That's the lore.
• I don't care how you vote or what you believe as long as you're ok with respecting that I may believe different things and the goal is to focus on fish lol
• I'm pretty chill, I like a variety of music, movies, and video game genres. We can sit in silence or chat about whatever.
• Currently taking Bio 1 with lab for majors and Chem 1 with lab

If this sounds amenable to you, hit me up. I have afternoon classes Mon-Thu. Thanks for reading! 🤙

Anyone know when our refunds are coming in?

Hello everyone,
I had a quick question. I planned on taking gen chem 1 this semester however, I felt the professor was all over the place first class and expected us to know basic chem concepts and recommend to those of us who could not keep up to take intro to chem first. Is this normal for a gen chem 1 class ? I mean I would assume that chem 1 is building us a foundation.

Does anyone recommend another chem 1 professor? And if you had them could you please share your experience.

Thanks!

hey im an fgcu education major who transferred here last year. I also loove to play improv jazz (I'm a bassist) and was wondering if there were any real opportunities or people to play some jazz with here without Actually Being A Music Major.

if anyone just wants to meet somewhere on campus and play some jazz standards that'd be awesome. or if there's any better places I could ask this question that'd be great too. I haven't gotten to play live jazz in over a year so I'm trying to derust!

Really sad that there is no club for it, but I was wondering if anyone plays MTG or knows of anyone who does as I need a new pod and have met no new players.

I play commander at bracket 2,3, and 4 but I’m willing to pick up new formats

Hey yall, I’m a student on the 1st floor at Sovi Osprey Hall FGCU. The room is fine and my roommates are really chill. Just asking whether there is anyone at North Lake, specifically someone who’s in a 4 bedroom single that wants to swap over to Osprey for any particular reason. I’m good for a room swap at anytime you’d be able to and only if you want to. If so, please dm me. Also if you know anyone who may want to go to Osprey or is dissatisfied with their situation at North Lake, reach out to them.

I’m not dissatisfied living here at Osprey, just would prefer North lake.

This post will remain for the rest of the semester. If you’re ever dissatisfied and want to swap with me. Feel free to reach out, no pressure.

One of my classes this semester has us using Pearson. In my past classes I would see the Pearson material in the First Day Ready Portal and when I click “course materials” in Canvas. However it does not appear at all, is it only supposed to show up on the first day of class or is it not included in first day ready for some reason

My brother just graduated and is looking for a roommate in Fort Myers. DM me if interested.

Hello everyone

Two things

One !

If you look in your bill and payment center. It will show your total balance , your estimated financial aid , and whether you still have a balance or have a credit.

When your estimated financial aid is more than your balance that means you DO NOT owe anything and will see the (-) minus symbol indicating a credit if applicable.

If your balance is more than your financial aid that means you do owe and will be required to make a payment towards your balance.

The bill and payment center should be pretty self explanatory. If you need assistance with making payments or things regarding billing you can contact the cashiers office via email , phone or in person.

Two !

Congratulations to any of you have recently gotten your Aice Diploma. This does not mean that the financial aid office will automatically post your bright futures. You MUST make sure your test scores have been sent to the state. As we post awards based on their notification. You have to be APPROVED by the state. We have no authority on approving your bright futures which seems to be the common misconception unfortunately.

The highschool and or the student must make sure that all their information has been sent to state. Upon approval the state sends us a list of the approved students and the coordinator posts the bright futures awards. When we communicate to the state it is about your university gpa and credits. We also ONLY accept the Florida Academic or the Medallion.

Thank you !

I don't know if I'm missing something in the syllabus, but how do we know when to wear scrubs to a particular class? Is it only for labs and clinicals, or are there regular classes that some professors require you to wear it? It's my first semester so idk😭

Hi! I'm currently an upcoming junior at UCF thinking about transferring to FGCU for Computer Science since I might not pass the foundation exam. I know the program is still fairly new, but I was wondering if it's any good? Specifically, the 3rd and 4th year classes? How are the teaching styles at FGCU?

Can anyone give advice for first semester of nursing school?? Any study tips, resources, etc!!! I’ve heard this is the hardest semester and want to be prepared 😫

I need to pay my tuition today but I don’t have the money for it yet, is it possible to pay it after the August 7th deadline.

Hey yall! I graduated from FGCU about 6 months ago, and I worked as a resident assistant for 2 years during my time there. I've got a wealth of knowledge for newcomers, so ask away I'd love to help with those move- in jitters!

Hey i'm an incoming freshman and was just wondering if filtered shower heads are allowed? I'm sure i can change it and put it back before i move out but at the same time idk if RAs will have a problem with it or me and my roommate will be charged for it.

hey im currently transferring next week to FGCU and i have never particularly dormed before; do you recommend any of the meal plans as someone who is currently looking for a job while at school full-time?

I am taking an online class with Wilkinson EVR 2264 and the syllabus says that exams require Respondus lockdown broswer. what is this? Does this mean you can't use notes when taking the exam?

I’m looking at applying for the masters program for school counseling and would like some insight. Classes are both in-person and virtual as well as available at later times to accommodate work schedules, however there is still the 600 hour internship component with this program. I work full-time, your regular 9-5, but have no idea how and if I could complete the internship component without quitting or switching to part-time employment.

I’m curious, how do the advisors at this campus assist students in finding employers? I’m a dedicated student and employee, and I’m finding it challenging to secure jobs. Given my experience in entry-level customer service and lead positions, I’m hoping to land a more significant role that aligns with my major.

What’s the recommended general physics 2048 teacher?
Also is there any physics or related organizations or tutors available on campus?

I'm just wondering how the culture is like there. Is it as close as they say. Teachers I should depend on, and teachers I should avoid. Just the general vibe, and any key details I should know?
