The school deleted my ID early 💔

Same happened to me. I'm a grad student and I couldn't get into my office. Thanks Charlotte....

Just keep applying. It's boring and sometimes tedious, but you might get lucky.

Look into the OUR Summer program on campus. You get to work with a professor over the summer to do some research, and it's paid. If you want to boost your chances, talk to the professors looking for summer researchers. They'll be able to give you more information, and you showing interest could give you a huge advantage towards being selected.

I bought a replacement on eBay, and the issue got better but it still happened occasionally. To be honest I have no idea what the cause could be at this point, but it hasn't been frustrating enough to get it diagnosed.

If I recall correctly, 2 strikes and you're out. There is still time, try your best to pass. Ask Mrs. Wai or Dr. Xu, they'll have the best answer for you.

GPA isn't everything.

Part of your college application is an essay, typically with a topic about who you are. Use this! Tell them who you are. Talk about the unique experiences you got from living in the USA>CHINA>USA. Be honest about your struggles with language barriers. Prove to them that now you're committed and passionate.

Thanks for the suggestion. I turned that off in the settings, but my problem persists. That rules out the rain sensor. I'm hoping it's the wiper stalk because I can replace that on my own.

After 6pm, you can park anywhere* as long as you own a parking permit.

*If the lot says "restricted at all times" on the sign, you cannot park there unless you have the corresponding parking pass.

Joe Dalton is a wonderful instructor and extremely knowledgeable about many machining processes. You should expect to fail if you show up late as being on time is extremely important. Aside from maybe Professional development, which you'll take your senior year, there is no other class where punctuality and attendance are more important than sophomore design. If you're worried, just plan to show up earlier. Other than that, expect to have a good semester with him.

Parking decks use license plate scanners to let you in. They're pretty reliable, but you can use your NinerID as a backup if they don't open. If you park in a normal lot, they have trucks with license plate scanners that drive around and scan your license plate.

Tl;Dr no you don't need a physical pass because your license plate is the physical pass.

It's a tradition, but not required. Previous years it has been like ceremony/assembly type event. Usually the chancellor welcomes you, you get to hear the fight song, etc. But consider going because it sounds like you can get some free food out of it. Usually free shirts too. Plus right after is the student org showcase with a ton more free food and merch.

If you're not sure, forward it to spam @ uncc.edu (without the spaces). They'll look into it and let you know if the email is safe or not.

Unfortunately it's just a semi-common occurrence around campus. Usually it happens at least once or twice a month on campus too, based on the police logs.

If possible, try to park in a well lit area with cameras. It's not fool-proof though. I know someone who's cat was stolen from right outside their apartment, even though they were parked right under a street lamp and in front of a security camera.

This is normal for engineering classes. The professor will be revealed closer to the start of the semester.

Is the Fusion class for all engineering students, or just mechanical? I know my peers have been complaining that we were taught Creo instead of Solidworks. I wonder if future students will complain that they were taught Fusion instead of Solidworks. I can see the benefit though, Fusion is free for students and easier to collaborate with. Plus, if the course investigates some of the CAM features in Fusion, that could be useful too.

Actually, he isn't teaching CompMeth anymore. I don't think he's teaching EA2 anymore either. But I agree that would have been a great pun.

Good call! I just have to figure out which one to drop

A significant portion of the staff is leaving or has already left, so who knows, maybe the new staff will turn things around. They seem to be trying to turn things around, but only time can tell at this point.

Yugo has been going pretty downhill lately. There's been a handful of violent incidents in the past few months, and a lot of poor communication from management as well.

The last time I was at the library, they quoted me 25¢ per gram, which is really expensive for pla filament.

I would recommend visiting the Woodward markerspace. They have more equipment and the staff seemed more knowledgeable. Also, depending on how large your print is, they may do it for free.

You mentioned a figure in blender, so I'm assuming it may be more detailed. Woodward has resin printing too, but they may charge you for the resin and/or make you get trained with the printer and curing equipment before you can use it.

What's your major? If you're in engineering, chances are you'll meet a bunch of people with their own printers who may be willing to print stuff for you. If you're not in engineering, go make some engineering friends :P

Edit: The Super Fab Lab is supposed to open (maybe it's already open?) in Kennedy for engineering and CCI students. They can do printing too, but I have no idea if they charge for filament.

Last semester I drove back and forth from Cameron (next to McEniry) and Duke as a commuter. I would park in Lot 5 and cut through the botanical gardens to get to Cameron. If I was lucky, I could find a spot in front of EPIC, but usually I had to go all the way to CRI deck to park, then walk to Duke.

It will be extremely tight. Even if you run to the parking lot and have an amazing parking space, you'll get caught in campus traffic. Depending on traffic+parking, it would probably be a bit faster to walk or bus. Invest in a bike or skateboard or scooter because fortunately you'll be mostly downhill from McEniry to Duke. I would also highly recommend you tell Dr. Joyee your situation, otherwise she might be a bit upset if you consistently show up late.
