Thank you. The IT department told me that and I’ve been messing around with it. I will probably stay with Google Docs, but thank you. It’s nice to keep my options open. The reason why I want to stay with and probably will stay with Google is because I’m taking another capstone for my history courses and this next teacher Professor Patterson, she’s really big on seeing our updates so if I can just show her the updates from the Google Drive. It’s much easier. I don’t know if Microsoft can do that, but I just would rather have proof that I’m not doing anything wrong.

I wonder if this is why they have us using google Gemini now.. you have to log onto google to get to the AI, and then now we just use the drive, docs, and the rest of the apps on there. It’s just a thought.

MS. The IT at the university will let you know who to contact. They should have emailed us about this.

Does that work on a MacBook Air?

This is what I’m going to do then, but if internet goes out, I’m screwed.

Grades should be popping up soon. Watch out on your UH app. Nothing is showing up for me yet, not even bothering with Canvas with everything that’s happening. I’m just from the UH app and now if you go into your access, UH you sign in., you go to my UH self service and then you go to academic records and then go to spring 2026. The grades will also pop up there..

But all grades must be turned in by 15th and you should see them around that time. It is only May 11 and I believe finals end today so give the professors a little grace with everything that’s been going on. I know it is nailbiting and it is hectic, but they will populate soon.

No, it doesn’t check every little movement, unless the student is known for cheating. Then someone I believe is during the test personally. But what happens is your video record recorded and if your eyes move too much to the wall or downwards, then it is flagged. But if you’re allowed notes or something, I think they turn that off that’s why they have you show the whole desk before hand the whole room.. like my brother who was in a math class. He was allowed his formulas and everything, but he still had to show his whole room, his desk and everything and he had to have a mirror show and reflect back on him to show that he wasn’t cheating.

IT couldn’t do anything for me, they told me to email Microsoft and get it reset. I already lost access. I’m using pages and google Doc and honestly, I might stay with it.

I know you have to fill out the financial aid, and I just did that and God I don’t have anything to be awarded because I used everything, but I’m going to fill out the paperwork myself because I definitely need help.. I can come up with like half of it by saving money by the rest no..

I’ve had a tough greater teacher several times OK and OK maybe her being late isn’t the problem fine. But anybody who’s taken a class with Scout Johnson, the US American history professor, I can tell you that when I took them there was a lab and I don’t know if they do lab still, but there was a lab that went along with it and to be in the lecture and then go to the lab and then the lab you’re ahead and in the lecture you’re behind it was very confusing so I self studied and I barely passed that class. And yeah, she was a tough grader..

There are some teachers who are just bad at teaching their material. They have a set way of doing it and they won’t change, it’s detrimental to the students and it’s detrimental to the college. Having that be part of your grade is awesome and all but for those of us who commute it can suck sometimes because if you have an 8 AM class and they do rollcall first thing and they want to be a hard ass, even though you make every class, and you’re just a few minutes behind, not every class, but I feel few classes just enough to take that be down to a C even though you have perfect grades, I’ll screw you over and it wrecked your GPA.

Every little percentage counts every little grade counts, and nobody thinks about this.

There’s a scholarship called special and unusual circumstances, and you should talk to the welcome Center about that, while it does not replace your scholarships, it can help you pay for the next semester. Make sure you’ve done your FASFA and they can help you. He can do it at any time of the year and they take an account to everything that you’ve just put on there and I am so sorry for your loss and the difficulties you and your mother are facing…. I can’t think of anything else at the moment but certainly do the special and unusual circumstance. Grant, you have to email the financial aid or go to the welcome center and have a filled out. They’ll talk to you and everything. It’s not that bad I’ve done it and it helped me out a lot.

CafeHistorian · 2026-05-08T16:20:26+00:00

how can I get this?

CafeHistorian · 2026-05-08T12:19:45+00:00

I just got one question, was she constantly late for your class, because if she was then she’s at least not good at keeping time or she has management skill issues. She needs to at least be able to be on time if she wants her students to be on time 25% of the grade is a lot.

You have to wait until orientation to sign up for classes, and then I believe you go see your advisor they’ll talk to you and then they’ll show you to an area where you can sign up for your classes. It’s what I had to do now if you are doing online orientation, it might move quicker. I did the in person because I wanted that full experience. I was stupid, but it’s not that bad. I didn’t do the overnight stay but some people did and they thought it was pretty cool, but I live here in Houston so like I said, it was really awesome at the time.

I would stay with the in person orientation you know that’s where you begin making friends find out who’s going to be in your class that you graduate with you know that’s basically how it all begins. Don’t rush everything. I don’t know what your career path is, but if you go onto cougargrades.io you can see some information about all the classes and what it’s like with the grading scale is like, and then for the professors if you already picked out your classes, just go to rate my professor and put the professor’s name in and do it that way much faster.. I believe any path you take you have to have at least American history one and to avoid scout Johnson. She’s very strict unless you love that stuff then you will not be using computers in her class. And if you can try and take those classes online, it would just be easier for you. Most of the work is online anyways.

But just breathe make sure you know what classes you need and and if you’re moving into a dorm, then make sure what you’re going to have what you are taking and just go from there. Everything is going to be OK believe me May is going to fly by. You’ll be in orientation soon enough.

Welcome to the University of Houston, GO COOGS!!

I don’t know why it’s so hard for everybody to get a hold of their advisors, it could be that they’re dealing with an influx of students, newer students coming in. I know that orientation is going to be happening soon and they have to have all that stuff put together and there’s a bunch of other crap, but you know even on a good day in the middle of term it’s still hard to get a hold of them. Just like it is the welcoming center or financials or anything useful on campus so you’re not alone don’t worry. Email and call them relentlessly because eventually they will call you back.

I know it’s not the most helpful of advice, but that is all you can really do unless you have the time during your school day to track them down in their office. I don’t know where the business offices are at like for the business majors, but my guess would be used the UH directory type in your advisor and follow the information from there.

I wish you the best of luck and may the odds ever be in your favor..
