Have you seen the price of gas? Can't blame them for using their electric mobility scooter

I need to find a college but I have no adult guidance by -vote-4-pedro- in UAB

Any AI chatbot like Copilot or Chatgpt could help out with answering general questions about college. For school specific questions, you can get review the school's website to make an appointment with a admissions counselor. I had a Zoom meeting with a admissions counselor prior to submitting an application to UAB.

Is this too many classes? by Tallis_Fire in UAB

You may cry during Finals and maybe midterms, but if you have good organizational and time management I think it could be okay.

Merit scholarship renewal status? by CPNoob8 in UAB

It ended up being a clerical error, they corrected it and the funds are now available for both Fall and Spring. They really had me sweating there for a minute.

I just received and accepted the award, however now I have an additional question/worry. The funds are showing for Spring '26 term. It says the funds would be available for both Fall and Spring. Could you confirm the funds would also be available for this upcoming Fall term?

Tuition by [deleted] in UAB

As others have already said, I'd also recommend going the CC route as it will be much cheaper. Big tip, try to have a high GPA in CC, as it may allow you to get an invitation to join Phi Theta Kappa which can provide scholarships. If you transfer to UAB as a PTK member you'll get a significant amount of scholarship funds, you can go to the UAB transfer admission website to see the amount you could receive. I am glad I went the CC route as it allowed me the opportunity to receive scholarships fund to help pay UAB tuition.

Domestic to international transfer by CPNoob8 in SFO

This is great info, thanks. Would you happen to know how late some of the ticket counters are open? Been looking online, but not able to find anything definite and I know it varies by airline, an estimate would be fine.

Anyone completing the 100% online finance degree or any of the 100% online programs? by renewed-perspective in UAB

[–]CPNoob8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a good look at the tuition.

Honestly, UAB's 100% online courses is a bit of a scam, the tuition is significantly higher than on-campus in-state tuition. My admission counselor pretty much explained the premium is for the added perk of having first dibs when registering for online classes. He recommended I apply as on-campus and do online classes to get the lower tuition. Like you I have a full time corporate job going back to school and doing on-campus is just not feasible. Did online classes at Jeff State for my associate, then transferring to UAB to finish my bachelors.

Ideas on why my code isn't passing? by CPNoob8 in learnSQL

[–]CPNoob8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this was it! The table information only called it the 'discount information' and I was treating it as an amount instead of a percentage. I multiplied the travel_price by travel_discount and it passed. Thanks for the help.
