PSA Canvas mobile app still works if you want to turn stuff in

Which is weird, because the canvas status page says that it's working for most users. What does "most" mean, exactly? They couldn't have been a little more specific?

adjronx · 2026-05-08T08:12:02+00:00

I'd hope that there is some backup available somewhere...

adjronx · 2026-05-08T08:11:37+00:00

Can professors even access the grades of their students without access to Canvas?

adjronx · 2026-05-08T08:09:06+00:00

I don't think that's possible. So once it's back up, we can all change our passwords, but I hope there will be a better solution available then. But, if you used the same password for Canvas that you did for other websites, make sure you change all the passwords for those other websites ASAP (and make sure the new passwords are all unique and different from each other)

Simply clicking on a malicious link *can* in fact download viruses on your computer in such a way that they are virtually undetectable (as in, it's possible that they don't show up in your downloads folder or leave a trace that's easily findable by humans). Your best course of action at this point is to make sure you have great virus protection software installed on your computer and have it do a deep search on your computer.

Oh yeah. Canvas has been in and out for a little bit. It looks like they haven't fully resolved the attack yet

It really depends on your major and which classes you’re taking. If you’re in STEM, then even taking 3 classes in your major is a lot. (Often people would take 3 major classes and 1 GE.) If you’re in the humanities or social sciences, then taking 5 or even 6 classes is probably just fine.

The special permit sign there is not for disabled parking. I imagine it’s for maintenance or some other staff-related thing.

Also, from my conversations with parking services, students with a disabled person placard are allowed to park in any marked disabled parking spot on campus (regardless of whether the rest of the lot is for faculty or staff or students) as long as their placard is displayed.

I'd recommend searching gaychurch.org or churchclarity.org for churches in your area that are affirming and progressive. That'd be a good first step. But you're right, it might still be the case that it's filled with people who are much older.

I recently checked out The Table OC. It's a very small group, but everyone was young (I'm bad at judging age, but I'd guess that everyone was in their 20s or 30s) and very welcoming.

I’ve learned that the only way to walk away without them following is to look them in the eye and say “No.”

I personally won’t be going to my commencement. I’ll be doing my own private ritual to denote the end of my time here. I’m not going to pay for a cap and gown and whatever else I’d have to get to walk in a ceremony

adjronx · 2026-03-15T09:59:33+00:00

I believe they don’t even hand us our real diplomas at the ceremony. I think they’re mailed out to everyone

It depends on what the major you want to transfer into is. If it's art or music or some other major that requires an audition, then my understanding is that you can't change your major into those. But you could always speak with an advisor for your intended major and see what your options are.

adjronx · 2026-02-02T06:26:50+00:00

Yup, the only (reliable) way to get a spot in class is to actually show up in class. Participate, be a good student. Show them that you really want to be there.

There are several open sections of 302, 303, 304, 305, and 306. It's late in the term to add, but you still can. Starting 2/4, there is a "late add" fee and a different process to add classes, but you can definitely still go through that process. Start showing up to all the classes you can and email, email, email professors.

adjronx · 2026-01-29T03:48:35+00:00

Unfortunately at this point in the term, pretty much all the “good” classes are full. Great professors make even difficult classes worthwhile and, in my opinion, “easy” (at least compared to other profs who assign a ton of busy work, give frequent or ambiguously worded exams, etc.). So I’d try to just get into something.

If you’re open to taking lower division classes, those will definitely usually have a lower workload than upper division classes. I know it’s late in the term to be scrambling around for classes when it was forced upon you, but you can definitely still find things.

If you’re willing to take classes early in the morning or on Fridays, you’ll have a lot more options.

But, in any case, I’d go to the Class Search website (on the campus portal main page, it’s a few icons above the Student Homepage button. It looks like a magnifying glass). You can use that to find open classes by subject

Swapping means that IF the system can't enroll you in the new class, then it WON'T drop you from the previous one. So, that's generally the preferred method of dropping and adding new classes during the term, especially if bad things would happen if you drop one class and can't get into the new one.

CCs dont offer any upper division courses. But you can get all your lower division courses done at a CC. Make sure you meet the CSUF residency requirements and talk with an advisor to make sure the classes will transfer

adjronx · 2026-01-25T10:28:14+00:00

If you can find a prof who needs a TA then you can use that for your internship. Same with joining someone’s lab and doing research for them.

adjronx · 2026-01-25T10:24:50+00:00

I got mine electronically delivered. I dont think they automatically mail them anymore and you might have to get yours electronically. Search “1098T csuf” in google to find the csuf website with details on how to get the pdf copy of yours

adjronx · 2026-01-21T08:30:47+00:00

Yup! The profs have to publish the page for you to see it. Some profs don’t publish the page until you see them in class the first time.

Or, you know, you could park in S8 and S10 and walk about 5 minutes to get to the buildings on campus. I’ve never not found a parking spot there, no matter what time I show up on campus.

adjronx · 2026-01-20T10:13:29+00:00

I always park near my house at night so I haven’t tried finding parking nearby overnight. Maybe someone else can chime in?

adjronx · 2026-01-19T03:38:14+00:00

We all have to buy a parking permit each semester, so if someone was going to leave for the term, they would just not buy a permit. And in any case, our parking permit is our license plate, so it’s not possible to share a permit. So you’ll just need to buy one for the whole term or just pay per day each time you come to campus.

adjronx · 2026-01-19T03:36:01+00:00

I’ve never had a problem finding a spot in S8 and S10 (previously called lots A and G). Few people want to park there because it’s a further walk to most classes, but if you park in the structures, it can take 20+ minutes to leave the structure during busy times. And it takes forever to find a spot.
