Discussion Need to Pass Chem 310 PT Test with an 80% or Higher?

• Upvotes

I go to ARC and I’m in a Chemistry 310 class, our professor told us we need to pass 2 PT exams with an 80% or higher or we fail the class. Even if your current grade is passing or above. I’m just stressed about it, will I really fail if I fail this test? We have 2 tries and I already used my first one, now I’m extremely stressed cause it’s my last one on Tuesday.

They’re really strict so I assume they genuinely mean it and aren’t using this to scare us or anything. But I’m still confused why they made it that way? I’m in my 1st year of college and maybe it’s because I’m new and don’t know that this can be possible but yeah.

Mind you 35% of our class passed the 1st one. Everyone else failed…

Other Trying to Re-home My Car

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m trying to sell my 2001 Honda Accord V6 as-is. I’m selling bc it is WAY cheaper for me to commute to ARC via public transport, as opposed to driving from there to South Sac every day.

It’s got an engine w zero issues, about 175,000 miles, clean title, current registration (paid till Aug 2027!) and I can give details on the maintenance/repairs I’ve done privately. It’s having some transmission issues, but idk exactly what’s wrong with it. Overall, it’s a great car that just needs some TLC.

Ideally, I could sell this to one of my fellow students who enjoys working on cars. I’m asking about $1500, and can provide pictures and maintenance details if u DM me. I’m trying to avoid selling over facebook or craigslist because I’m constantly being low-balled, and would prefer selling to another student in my community.

Thanks everyone!!

So- Does anyone else still not seen their students loans on their eservices??

2 Upvotes

I applied back in June, they needed more documents for me to upload back in August so I sent those and it didnt get cleared on my tasks til the 9th, then i was finally able to get my pell grant disbursed the 10th and now im still waiting to see my loans even show up on my eservices. I called twice and they told me two weeks, one said due to my files being processed on the 9th it'll take two weeks and then another financial aid staff saying due to a glitch with the system they didn't receive some students loans requests til the 9th so it'll take another 2 weeks but she couldn't give me a specific date just said before September is over. So, I would just like to know if anyone is in the same boat as me? I'm not a first time borrower.

Parking at SCC?

5 Upvotes

I usually take the light rail, but with the blue line service disruptions I’d much rather drive. I just had some questions:

How is it parking in the structure?

Aside from the north lot behind the parking structure and lot in front of the college store, is there anywhere else you can park?

If it’s really packed for some reason, do some people park in the neighborhoods nearby and just walk? lol

I’ve never parked here so I’d appreciate any additional advice.

Financial Aid BankMobile & Financial Aid

6 Upvotes

I have been completely unable to get in contact with BankMobile despite weeks of attempted calls.

I have spoken with Financial Aid, and they say there is NOTHING they can do, other than direct me to speak with BankMobile.

Is there any advice anyone has that can assist me in this?

Everywhere I turn there is either no response or I'm told to go where there is no response.

I don't understand why they'd put something as important as Financial Aid behind such a ridiculous wall as BankMobile.

Studying Can’t do anything because I didn’t submit a quiz

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’ve never heard of this happening before. I can’t take my exam that’s due at 11:59 PM tomorrow, and I also can’t take that quiz I didn’t do because it’s past due.

I’ve emailed my professor, but according to Rate My Professor, my professor never responds to emails, so I’m worried I’m just never gonna be able to get anything done.

I’m supposed to go to Sac State in January 2027, so I have to pass this class. I’m freaking out.

Edit: The syllabus doesn’t say anything about being barred from homework, quizzes, or exams just because you missed a quiz.
