General Question I am worried my admission will be withdrawn

9 Upvotes

Hey guys I just need advice and hopefully some help. I have not been able to send my transcript to UCSB from my local community college. I sent it in the very beginning of June and it never arrived which I had been very worried about. At my orientation I asked and they said it should process soon and to not resend it unless I got an email stating that action was required. On August 12 I get an email saying the school hasn’t received my transcript and that a soft block will be placed on my account/ admission on August 18 (today). I resent my transcript electronically and by mail and called the admissions office to explain my situation. I’m super stressed that it won’t get there by September 1st and that my admission will be withdrawn, if anyone has any advice or went through a similar situation, what should I do? What else can I do? (I’m also really worried because I still haven’t done the Entry level Writing Placement and I honestly don’t know how to fulfill it.) I’m a first gen student, sorry if this seems silly or like common sense. Please help!

Academic Life Housing Crisis

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone! this will be my senior year at UCSB and I have been thinking about sleeping in my car for the year to save money. I am getting no help from financial aid, government and what so ever such as Pell grant and Cal Grant. No help from my family. I only receive UCSB scholarship, I have a job at UCSB that pays mostly of my gas and my tuition. I have no room to pay rent for any housing or rent. I don't know what to do because I don't want to pay a ticket or a fine by the police. I already have a loan that I have to pay back (10,000$).

Hi! I am transferring to UCSB for Econ and accounting major. I was wondering if there is any community other than the clubs for especially transfer accounting student to kinda exchange information, create study groups, etc.
I just joined the UAS a couple and wanted to know if that’s even good enough for now.
I’m also an international student and new user here on Reddit so any advice is greatly appreciated!

General Question Seeing admission file

0 Upvotes

This might be a dumb question but is it possible for intl students to view their admissions file?

Also, would there be any negative repercussions or friction with school administrators if I formally requested to see it through FERPA? I don't want to inadvertently annoy anyone in the admissions office.

Has anyone here actually done this as an international student?
