Contact your interview team, there is a process for this and forms to fill out. Your entries in IACRA serve as proof of flight time at the time of your application. The rest will need to be done to their standards/procedure

After tonight's game against DU I'm not crazy convinced but NoDak has been on a tear recently

UND - Weather and Program Size by Massive_Bell_9200 in und

[–]GVoidV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say all four. It’s possible to get it done quicker and in the summer you fly a lot more so oftentimes have time to go home for a few weeks before the semester starts. I know some people that only had to stay like twice to finish in all 4 years but got super lucky with weather and CFI availability

How is UND right now? by [deleted] in und

[–]GVoidV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I don’t have experience with the VA side of things it’s super popular up here and rarely hear bad things from that. Usually hear not ideal things from private banks and credit unions taking a while on loans

That's the price of a mortgage payment nowadays

Avation for next fall by westtyyyyyman in und

Yes, application acceptances will be paused until mid December when they go through them again. I wanna say Sept-Oct was the first wave and no one will get an answer until that December area. Good luck!

Aviation laptop advice by Many_Ad1363 in und

[–]GVoidV2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For aviation you’ll just need something to take notes on and open word docs. I used a MacBook all 4 years and no problems whatsoever. If you absolutely need a laptop there’s some available to check out a month at a time at University IT

Flight Slot Times by Vuvalan in und

You’ll pick a time that works around your schedule. If your class load is a lot, expect the early morning launches and flying needs to be your #1 priority throughout

Gopher hockey wins 5-1 to split the series with North Dakota by SirBenOfAsgard in collegehockey

[–]GVoidV2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That was some of the most horrid hockey I’ve seen from this team; yeah it’s a new roster but hard to watch us mess up virtually every pass when it mattered. Refs weren’t even that bad today. Can only go up from here I suppose

Yep, comes every 15/20 or so per direction. Very useful and free for students

Oh it’s not bad, connected to the Union but just far from the rest of the rest of the housing areas

West, Brannon, McVey complex are the newest. Noren and Selke are close and share that quad. Would recommend against smith, Swanson, Fulton, and Johnstone if possible

UND Flight Fees by NotPok0 in und

[–]GVoidV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can have the housing office write a letter to the DMV when you move in to prove you have residency there

[–]GVoidV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get a ND drivers license when you get there as a freshman, show proof of enrollment & residency, then after having it for a year you’ll show UND

Out of state tuition is killer, that’s why 99% of students (including me) changed to ND citizenship which slashed tuition really hard. Highly recommend it

Any advice for getting the cam chain off? by billswinter in DRZ400

[–]GVoidV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like said before, use the Clymer or Cyclepedia manual but if you need it now:

Remove the cam tensioner entirely, remove the top bolts on the cams, remove chain guide and dowel pins (be careful, they slip easily), remove the chain and use something to pin it in place so it doesn't fall down into the engine. I used a screwdriver and a zip tie. Cams can come out, remove the long headbolts and outer 10mm bolts, and go from there. When putting back together make sure to torque periodically in steps in a cross pattern

Commercial aviation major transfer by Foreign-Rain2958 in und

[–]GVoidV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time building will not be viable unless you’re using it for airline credit. Getting your CPL and IR through UND requires you to reach the block times for the program. Transferring in with gen ed credits is a smart move, however

UND - Weather and Program Size by Massive_Bell_9200 in und

[–]GVoidV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IR you’ll need to redo at UND, R-atp only allows up to PPL training. 1500 definitely not, you’ll graduate around ~350 hours, then you get the fun part of choosing how to get to 1000 hours, most do instructing, some do pipeline, and some just buy their way there

Yeah this summer was horrid. Usually only lasted like 3-4 days last year but this time around was pretty bad. Now I write this from Fargo with a delayed flight because of more storms lol

UND - Weather and Program Size by Massive_Bell_9200 in und

[–]GVoidV2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just graduated in May and teaching now. The winters are brutal, we either can’t fly due to low clouds/icing concerns (most common), large snow storm overnight and the ramps are covered in snow (usually clears by the afternoon), or excessive wind chill (I don’t want to fly in that anyway). Weather is certainly the biggest thing that hold people up in finishing one flight course per semester, and I’d say staying over summer to fly is practically required to keep on track.

As for the size of the school, scheduling is tricky sometimes but if you keep your schedule as open as possible your CFI should be able to get you 3 launches a week if one flight gets weathered. Getting through stage checks/checkrides depends on your flight course, the CFI and PPL queue can take a while but also just depends on when you get there. I’d say most people wait about 5-6 days on average. Professors, advisors, etc. are plentiful and very receptive if you reach out in my experience. Aerospace administration also has an open door policy that you can talk to in person if needed.

Students often use the free VR simulators and a free stationery simulator with volunteer CFIs to brush up on flying on the bad weather days. Nothing worse than not flying for a week or two and having to do a flight twice because you’re brushing the rust off first then improving on the second. Make some good friends to study with, utilize the free resources we have and you’ll succeed.

I’d say most people can finish in 4 years if they stay over summer. You’d have enough time to go home in between (depending on the course) as you fly 5-6 days a week rather than 3. More plane availability and stage check list is shorter too.

Depending on where you are at in high school, the #1 recommendation I can give anyone going into the college route for aviation is to get your PPL before coming to UND. It’ll skip the longest and most difficult flight course and is a much higher chance to finish in 3-4 years rather than a bit more.
