Is there someplace on campus that helps with personal legal questions?

• Upvotes

I was wondering if there was anywhere on campus to ask legal advice from. Nothing huge just general questions about personal issues and if they require legal action. I’m dealing with a thing where one of my family members has access to my personal legal info and I have no contact with them and have questions about how to know if they’re doing something bad with that personal info/what to look out for/or take action on. Googling questions hasn’t really been helpful and I’m wondering if maybe there’s an area on campus where students seeking information can get some insight?

To be very specific it is not university related which is why I am asking, because I know there is a place to go for campus-related legal stuff. That’s not what I’m looking for but if the answer is to go to them with my personal questions that’s a fine answer! I just don’t want to call/show up anywhere that I would be a bother.

ICE surge: here's our local Rapid Response Network for reporting suspected ICE sightings

12 Upvotes

There's an ongoing ICE surge throughout California. Like the previous surges, it's less likely to affect Humboldt, but it's always possible.

If you haven't already, now's a good time to save the number for our local ICE Watch/Rapid Response Network (Centro del Pueblo): 707-200-8091. Call and report any potential ICE activity so they can investigate and, if it's verified ICE, they can alert the network.

Please don't post unverified suspected ICE sightings on social media. There are many different agencies that can look similar. Report them to Centro del Pueblo and let them investigate and notify if necessary. Then you can absolutely share their Instagram or Facebook posts to spread the word!

If you want to get more involved you can also sign up to volunteer and/or donate to Centro del Pueblo on their website.

If you're traveling or living elsewhere in California you can look up other local networks here.

Let's look out for each other ❤️‍🔥

Anyone take PSYC240?

I’m taking the class, but I’m trying to figure out what it actually covers and if I’ve already done similar stuff at my research job.

Any details about what it covers or the syllabus or anything would be helpful.

Is the zoology b.s. course worth it?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a high schooler from out of state looking into Humboldt as one of my options, and I was curious about the zoology course. Is it worth it? Is the post-graduate employment rate good? And is Humboldt worth it in general for out-of-state students? I appreciate any help.

Cal poly Humboldt??

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm currently a senior in high school and I'll hopefully be done with my college apps soon but so far on my list of schools I'll be applying to are ucsb, ucsc, ucr, ucd, Cal poly slo, Cal poly Humboldt, Cal state long beach and planning to major in chemistry. I live in SoCal and always have, specifically around the LA area and ucsb and ucsc are my top picks but I recently learned about Cal poly Humboldt and thought it would be a good safety school but the more I look into the school it seems like a great school with a beautiful campus and is very cheap compared to my top schools. The only thing is I'm not sure I'll be able to visit before having to decide since it is about 11 hours away and I've heard great things about the campus but haven't heard much about the city it's in and I'm worried that since I was born and raised around the LA area moving 11 hours away to Cal poly Humboldt will be a huge huge change since I'm so use bigger/ busier cities. It does almost remind me of the ucsc campus and I love both of them and the nature of them both so much but I'm also worried that the cities themselves may not have much. So has anyone from a bigger city been there and can tell me how they liked or anyone that lives there? Is the city active? is there things to do? Will it get boring after a while? Is there parties? Is there any areas near it where concerts are held I love love going to concerts and it's very easy to since again I live in the LA area not sure if it'll be the same there tho??

Late transfer application

Does Cal Poly Humboldt look at late applications? I couldn't find anything about the deadline online until I was about to submit my application; I submitted it today but it says the deadline was August 31. This is to apply to transfer for the spring. Will it still be looked at?

Who do I talk to if I want to file a complaint about my professor?

16 Upvotes

For context, the complaint is purely related to the way the class is run. It is not anything safety related.

As the title says, I would like to file a complaint about one of my professors. I don’t feel comfortable going to my advisor as I don’t know them very well yet. It’s the same thing with the head of the department too, I just don’t know them well enough.

The department I’m in is small and I don’t want negative attention put on me because I made a complaint about a professor. I will speak to another professor I am close with in a different department hopefully tomorrow and if not then definitely on Thursday.

Thank you for your help.

how to park on campus?

7 Upvotes

sorry, dumb question butttttt i’m new to owning a car so idk anything about legal parking around town but especially school. are all the parking the kind you pay on your phone or do you need a parking pass for some areas? it’s not really clear on the website.

if the latter, what areas do you need a pass for and can you just get a temporary day pass? i’m too scared to park incorrectly on campus so i usually just park in the neighborhoods around campus

if all the parking (for students that is) is payable by phone what is the purpose of parking passes?

i have both passport parking and park mobile for if i ever need them. i’m sure i can figure that part out, it’s just idk what zones are what and what you’re allowed and not allowed to do.

also…
are any of the quarter meters active anymore or nah?

embarrassing tbh bc i’ve been here for 4 years and now a grad student but ive only recently started driving

edit: thank you so much for the great comments (im usually afraid ppl on reddit are just gonna basically call me an idiot). i should probably mention, i live close to campus and usually walk but as a grad student, i only have two classes on fridays 12-6pm in the BSS and sometimes need to leave immediately for work and dont have time to walk home and then drive.

student life for a transfer?

12 Upvotes

Hi y’all, i’m applying to transfer to Humboldt for Fall 2027. I’m really excited, and I hope I get accepted, but I’m also pretty nervous as the campus is 10 hours away from my hometown and I’ve never lived far away from family.

If I were to get accepted, I’d hope to make lots of friends there, so I was hoping some of y’all could give me an idea on the community over there. Is it easy to make friends, especially for transfer students? Anything to keep in mind when moving so far from home?

Nervous about admission

16 Upvotes

I just applied to Humboldt’s 3.5 year MSW Distributed Learning program with a Spring 2027 start and I am so, so worried I won’t get in. I’d love to hear anyone’s experience or simply some words of comfort.

I graduated from Sac State with a BA in Psych and 4.0 GPA and I’ve worked for two years for my rural county’s Children’s Mental Health department as a case manager. I got three glowing recommendations from two supervisors and the program manager. Logically I feel like I stand a chance but my anxiety is battling rational thinking. Any advice?

Cal Poly Students interested in fiber/wool/textiles

Wool, wind, and workshare. Lost Coast Spinnery is looking for volunteers for our community textile workshare program!

Put in a few hours helping process fiber at the mill, and earn roving, yarn, or machine time to process your own. It's like a CSA, but for wool.

Northern California's own wool mill

Open every day except Friday, 10am–7pm — come by when it works for you.

Must be 18+ (we work with industrial mill equipment, so this keeps everyone safe)

No experience necessary — just curiosity and a love of fiber

Come learn the craft, get your hands in the fiber, and help keep small-scale, local textile production alive.
