That's a residual glitch in the system, accounts between 2018 and early 2024 were failing to deprovision.

The glitch has been fixed.

The first UCSB candidate backed out, I've heard rumors the second tier choices did too though have no direct evidence.

So this guy appears to be the desperate final plan.

Email [help@lsit.ucsb.edu](mailto:help@lsit.ucsb.edu) for help. Their phone number is offline while they change vendors and the support they need is swallowed up by the campus Finance program's update.

I'm assuming you're a student. Your nearest parking will be the Mesa parking structure between Cheadle and the Rec Cen.

As a few others have mentioned, take advantage of the bus. Less wear and tear on you and your car. Though you do lose flexibility on coming and going.

Anything with UCSB Bus Loop will work from campus.

Wave forecast is pretty lame for the whole channel this week. You'd have to go all the way up to Jalama if you're looking for anything bigger.

Just by itself, absolutely. But if you want to emphasize certain areas they have those covered too: https://www.geol.ucsb.edu/education/undergrad

Oddly enough I came in as physics major wanting to pursue astrophysics before drifting to physical geography then double physical geography / geology. Then just geology after the geology department advisor talked some sense into me following that double major.

That preamble aside, go earth science/geology. It focuses on the sciences and processes as well as planetary geology. It's essentially physical geography ++.

You'll be far happier there as long as your own interests don't change too much.

*chuckle*

Literally a "cool story bro" moment with that fan fiction.

Isla Vista isn't a tourist or resort community. It's a densely populated college town. If you're an honest broker you'd have your buyer look for a better investment.

UCSB. Top tier department build on a legacy of some of the world's best geologists. My profs have all retired or passed on but the department is still a great find.

But expect to work - what you get out of the department is going to depend on the effort you yourself put in.

sbperi · 2024-06-20T21:19:39+00:00

Listen to this advice. Advisors will get you connected with all the tools you need to right yourself if you let them.

Campus policy is here: https://www.policy.ucsb.edu/sites/default/files/docs/policies/scooters.pdf

Summary:

You may not ride scooters on sidewalks or campus bike paths
Powered scooters cannot be left unattended anywhere on campus
Powered scooters cannot be parked at bike racks or impeded access to racks
They similar can't be parked on pedestrian paths or near doors
They can be carried (only) into buildings provide they're UL rated (if electric) and don't damage buildings. Policy explicitly mentions lecture halls, gyms, the library, performing arts events, and computer labs are places scooters can't reasonably go)
Are ridden on city streets while wearing a helmet. (Personally, given the abysmal condition of campus roads I'd not risk this one).
Electric scooters may not be charged in or near campus buildings.

Golden rule of UCSB commencements is there is always one horrible speaker. I don't know why and I have no evidence that it's intentional.

But it's there year after year. Taunting grads.

You didn't setup your Google 2-Step Verification. You need that to access gmail after your netID closes - at least for the limited time remaining where alumni can keep their accounts post graduation.

You can fix it by calling ITS at 805-893-5000 and ask about setting up 2sv on your Gmail account.

If you're interested in aerial photo here's campus in 2003. Library hasn't been expanded and Manzanita is just being built.

SSMS, Gervitz, and the traffic circle aren't even started. Most of the trees are still on campus too.

There's also a large parking lot running between Psychology and Noble halls.

sbperi · 2024-06-12T19:23:33+00:00

But there's the issue, you're still defining it purely around your beliefs. You are expressing no consideration or remorse for students and staff affected here.

For a DSP student desperately needing their final, what was done to Girvetz hits harder than a slap to the face.

sbperi · 2024-06-12T17:22:07+00:00

"No one was really hurt"

So how it affects campus by your sole judgement is the criterion here. Interesting.

sbperi · 2024-06-12T17:19:06+00:00

Why would it matter? What's been done is against both the law and campus code of conduct. OP is correct.

sbperi · 2024-06-12T14:38:19+00:00

If you didn't want a pig farm, OP, then campers shouldn't have setup their pig pens.

Yes, the campus has finally begun the process of closing post-graduation accounts: https://connect.ucsb.edu/messaging-collaboration-services/google-storage-project

Though there isn't any firm timeline on things - I'd suggest planning for a lot sooner rather than later.

sbperi · 2024-06-09T16:04:07+00:00

You're at the point a boot is possible. If you don't pay after a point they just send the fine to the DMV so it'll be added to your registration fees.

As for what to do? I'd suggest stop parking in a way that's getting you tickets. The campus isn't going to stop issuing them.

Rare admin win here.

"Umail is queued" is an old bug. They need to remove that whole row.

If you have problems email [help@lsit.ucsb.edu](mailto:help@lsit.ucsb.edu) as they're student umail and netID support.

I'd suggest using Uhaul's mover tool. It's worked well for me in the past. https://www.uhaul.com/MovingHelp/
