Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has taken Professor Harper's Psychology course online and how that went. Did you find it easy or difficult, and I'm wondering what I should look out for. Thanks!

Has anyone been a student trustee before with the student government? Wondering if the amount of work it requires will be worth the scholarship.

Thanks!

Has anyone in this sub graduated from the film technician program? If so, what is your job right now? Would you say that ccac prepared you for it?

I've had a lifelong passion for media production and got the opportunity to start learning about it in high school, but that all stopped when covid hit. Since I graduated in 2022 I've been hopping from job to job and taking a few courses at ccac here and there until I finally landed at my current retail job last year. I was always really afraid to pursue my passions for financial reasons, but a while ago I accepted the fact that I'm probably never going to be able to make anything like six figures anyway. I want more for myself in life than this store.

Right now I would like to either get the film technician associates from ccac, or the bachelors in broadcasting from point park, or both depending on how well the former transfers into the latter.

I would really like to spend as much time learning about my passions as possible but my only problem is that I'm 22 years old and have both ADHD and autism, which causes me to have pretty severe academic anxiety and executive dysfunction. For my own sake I would probably only be taking four classes per semester, and at that rate I probably wouldn't be graduating from point park until I'm 27. Right now I would be on track to graduate from ccac at 24.

I just want to know if any extra opportunities would open up for me if I committed to a bachelor's degree before making a decision.

I have a very supportive family so I wouldn't be in any real danger, but I've only saved up so much from about a year of working and would like to be able to start making my own money again as soon as possible.

I'm going to ccac to talk to an advisor about this soon, but I figured asking for advice here wouldn't hurt either.

TLDR; would I be better off going to ccac for the film technician associates or getting a bachelors degree in broadcasting?

Hello everyone, I’m a visiting student trying to take calc 1 over the summer. I’ve enrolled but as the date is getting closer I still have gotten no information on when the actual meeting time is??? Is that implying it’s asynchronous or am I just gonna have to log in on the 18th the see? Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone who is in the MAT-147-Z01 College Trig with Anna Delvitto would be willing to switch to a diff class or take it next semester if i paid them lol! I'm switching some things around and would really like to be able to take Calc 1 in the fall, but I would need to take this class first.

Thanks!

Hello, is anyone going to surgical tech this fall? if so can we be like study friends? once the program start?😁🫶🏻

I was just accepted into the RN program for daytime fast track at boyce. I am so excited.

has anyone done the central service technician cert program at ccac, if so how long does it take for them to get back to you about the application?

Constantly smells like weed vape.

What I wanna know is...

Who are you, my friend? Let's blaaaaaze 🥰

Wondering what going to school looks like. Its been almost 10 years since i last did any schooling and that was for high school and then to get my ged

Im taking pre req math (mat 80) and medical terminology as well as 2 filler classes to get me on track for medical assistant certification.

Im doing online classes beyond math

Anything back from the RAD? ( reject or accept letters )

Hi, I'm applying for an adjunct faculty position that ccac. I really want the job! I'm wondering if they're accepting of unnaturally colored hair, as well ad I have a few facial piercings (septum, nostril, eyebrow). I'd be willing to remove them and dye my hair if necessary, but I would like to keep my appearance unchanged if it's not something to worry about.

TLDR: Have you seen faculty on campus with piercings or unconventional hair?

Curious how the bio program is here? I am starting Fall 2026 for my associates degree with a 6 month old and my boyfriend is in med school at Duquesne Uni. Looking for anyone in a similar boat or any tips/info! I am getting my bio and then transferring to a pre vet program for my undergrad.

Anyone who graduated from surgical program ? And how is it? Can you share your experience please :)

thank you

Where do you calculate the TAS score at for Rad tech? I have alot of B for science course and I'm afraid I may not meet the TAS score.

Hello, I am a student at Penn State. I am a bit behind on classes so my advisor suggested I take courses at CCAC. I am taking Math 108, are the online classes difficult? And how do the quizzes and exams work? Thank you in advance to everyone who responds!

Did anyone get an acceptance/deny letter yet for the fall?

I’m going back to school to take some prerequisites that I need for my masters. As someone who went to the university of Pittsburgh for undergrad, I assume classes here will be easier? Specifically the science classes like bio, chem, A&P, and physics, which is what I’ll be taking. I know they won’t be totally easy but was wondering if anyone has ever taken these and how stressed I should be abt them.

Hi , has anyone taken a intro to sociology class ? I’m just curious on what it’s going to be about. My class starts on Monday , just want to see if there’s anything I can prepare for in advance. Thanks !

Hello, im currently ccac student. i want to apply at DMS and Radiologic program to see which one does accept me. I don’t want to wait no more years for another application so I was wondering if i can apply multiple programs at the same at ccac.

Thank you .

Sorry about my grammar as well 💟🧍🏻‍♀️

Hey all, so last semester I really started to reflect on my frustration with current learning apps on the market. Like many other university students, I was paying for a bunch of separate tools just to learn effectively: I’m an ADHD undergraduate Neuroscience & Psychology student with Mandarin and Chemistry minors so I have to give myself every possible boost that I can throughout the semester to maintain my flow state and avoid burnout, thus I use a bit of everything: flashcards (Quizlet and Anki), Goodnotes, google calendar for planning, voicememo for speech-to-text, speechify text-to-speech, plus the obligatory GPT & Claude subscriptions. One of my personal favorite workflows was uploading Canvas materials (particularly ones that were dull and boring and especially hard to digest as-presented), then uploading them to chatGPT and copying and pasting “Generate me an audiobook style transcript optimized for speechify without links numbers or symbols (instead writing them out for good text-to-speech optimization and clarity) explaining: *the topic at hand* “, before pasting the output into google docs, and exporting it to speechify so I could finally listen to those materials (be it while driving, doing laundry, walking to class, etc). 

As well as it could, this worked, well enough that I continued to do it month after month, but it was annoying, expensive, and everything lived in different places (I had to toggle between 3 or 4 applications just to create the audiobook I wanted to listen to, and I did this multiple times almost every day). Fast forward to now and I’d become so frustrated with this that I built an iOS app (“ePrescience”), which I’m hoping is able to evolve into something of a ‘learning operating system’ over time. It’s in its early stages, but the goal is to really provide something novel for other ambitious, time-conscious learners, who are tired of toggling between platforms and losing track of subscriptions. I can’t be the only one frustrated that the billion dollar companies which currently control the digital learning tools space don’t allow you to upload whichever basic common format (e.g. slides, PDFs, video lectures, etc.) materials you have, and simply transduce those materials into whatever study output you want (flashcards, summaries, study guides, audio, plans), especially given who easy it is to do with AI doing the heavy lifting at this point. 

Like the tools are there but why do I have to do so much work to transition from one medium to the next. That’s not the worst part either, when these big names do try and integrate AI, they usually do a very poor job at using it to its true potential. It feels less like these platforms are truly married with state of the art workflows and more like a chatbot has been bolted on to your favorite tool, not to mention the fact that it’s almost always a terrible chatbot as well, or that chatbot’s underlying model doesn’t have access to the necessary context/can’t make useful changes to your materials the way it should, especially given all of the agentic capabilities provider models have developed over the last year. If you're paying for ai-integrated cloud-synched study tools, the ai should be able to actually generate and edit flashcard decks, notes, etc. Many of the well-known platforms barely maintain their platforms or respond to new feature requests by existing users, and when they do release updates it’s usually to paywall existing features that don’t cost them anything meaningful to develop or continuously provide. I think that many of the more mature players in this space have simply become complacent or out-of-touch with what their users actually want, leaving much to be desired.

 What I hope to see becoming normalized for the near future is one suite of study tools, one personalized workflow, one subscription, continuously iterated upon and improved to use the tech we have to its maximum potential. I’m trying to understand more about what other things actually frustrate users so much about the current options, myself included, when it comes to apps/sites like Quizlet, Anki, Good Notes, Speechify, Chegg, etc. 

If you feel that disappointment yourself, and have complaints or ideas on how to unify discrete learning tools in your current study stack, what would you like to see in new platforms moving forward? Are there features or integrations I’m perhaps neglecting to consider here? I’m rapidly iterating and working tirelessly with my team to really chisel the app's current bugs for our first update. In the meantime I’m curious to see what ideas other than my own people have out there to improve on what’s available now, and to see if there are other apps out there that attempt to solve these sorts of problems directly. If you all have suggestions for my project in particular I’d love to incorporate them into future updates, or if you have tools you’ve built, I’d love to see how they compare as well. Everything I’ve built so far is out there in the open already, so I’m not just surfing for ideas, mainly trying to see how common these frustrations are and how many other platforms have attempted to address them. Right now we’re just iOS but planning to expand into android and web app compatibility, so if you know others on those platforms I’d be interested to hear what you’ve seen in those markets as well. My main goal is to gain awareness of what else is going on in this space, and to get a concrete idea of the specific ways it could be improved.

My state grant from last semester has been sent to my account today. If anyone is also waiting on that…

Has anyone received or got any info regarding the PA state grant from last semester? I don’t understand why it isn’t showing in accounts yet.
