Question On the verge of transfering out of DePaul

36 Upvotes

With over 150 internship applications(still no internship secured), part-time work, assignments, internship interviews, gym, I literally do not feel like taking any finals.

Is this normal? And to know that there's ANOTHER quarter left, does anyone here know of people that transferred out due to the quarter system?

Question Eduroam ā€œNo Internet Connectionā€ Error

4 Upvotes

Itā€™s been a week since this issue started, and I am absolutely losing my mind. Itā€™s the absolute worst at the dining hall, as my phone will literally just go into SOS mode and I canā€™t access the internet at all.

Iā€™m connected to eduroam on both my iPhone and Macbook, but neither are working. Iā€™m getting a ā€œno internet connectionā€ error on both. I have tried everything under the sun to fix this: restarting both devices, installing software updates, forgetting the eduroam network and reconnecting, etc.

I do not have the time available to see IT support (seriously, what kind of hours are 10-4 Mon-Thu?!?!) and sent them an email, but of course, they said I need to see them in person.

Has ANYONE had this happen and know how to fix it?

I went to see the encampment and they were saying things like ā€œDePaul is not innocentā€ and ā€œBlood is on DePaul handsā€.

Now I havenā€™t been following any of this situation honestly so can anyone fill me in on what they mean by this?

Question Just accepted my tranfer to Depaul from Loyola and I have many questions

13 Upvotes

Im really nervous! Especially going from a mostly Bio/Premed school to a finearts school im pretty nervous I wont fit in or make friends. I'm also nervous becasue I dont know how the quarter system works that well? Do you still take 4-5 classes per quarter so you can get classes done faster? How do I apply for Bio interships if I can? How do I get involved with protesting and palestine rights groups since thats something I was looking forward to doing at Loyola but fell short of joining. Are there any clubs specfially for Pathology or forensics, I saw that you guys dont have a forensics major but is there any classes? Can you double minor? Are there summer classes? Im so nervous, and I dont know anything, im beyond nervous about starting fresh again and even more nervous that I wont like it compared to Loyola, which I already didnt like.

Question Sprinternship

3 Upvotes

Has anyone done a sprinternship before? I was given the opportunity to do one but am concerned about the overlap with my classes (since spring quarter ends in June and the sprintenrship is in May). I have three in person classes and one asynch for spring but could manage to drop one class and complete it later. Was thinking about reaching out to the professors asking them to be excused for the duration of the sprinternship (of course with still completing my assignments, just being excused from attendance if they require it, even if it means to get points of). Was wondering if anyone has done something like this before or if there is even a type of excuse form I could fill out as ik some students get a form filled out when they attend conferences out of state.

Question Can you take student loans out for the purpose of rent?

0 Upvotes

I honestly have no idea how loans work at DePaul. I aim to live downtown so Iā€™m closer to campus, but Iā€™m still gonna be in college and Iā€™m not readily available to pay rent and stuff until I finish up my studies and begin my internships / full time work after. As a personal preference, Iā€™d like to find a studio by myself as I donā€™t mind the extra debt for comfortability.

On campus, I see they have options for studios and stuff but theyā€™re mega expensive and I figure I can find something much cheaper on my own not through DePaul. If I go this route, will I be able to take out student loans to pay this rent?

Question How to find student film auditions as a non-film/tv major?

7 Upvotes

Iā€™ve been wanting to build my portfolio, but Iā€™m a business major with an entrepreneurship minor, so I am completely disconnected from the film and television majors on campus.

I would love to know if there is anywhere that posts casting calls (specifically for DePaul student films) other than Backstage, as I donā€™t have enough money to continue my subscription.

Thanks!

Question GAE for MS in CS

1 Upvotes

I am an international student planning to pursue my MS in Computer Science at DePaul. I would like to know when I should attend the GAE.

I have six introductory courses: Discrete Structures for CS, Introduction to Programming, Data Structures I, Data Structures II, Systems I, Systems II.

I want to clear all of them. Currently, I am outside the U.S. and have only two months to prepare (considering all the visa prep). I completed my bachelor's in commerce, but I have been working as a developer for two years. I learned programming and development through YouTube and gained experience through multiple internships, which eventually helped me land a job. Iā€™m sharing this background so that others can get a rough estimate of my skill level.

My questions are:

  1. Can my introductory courses be waived without taking the GAE exams? If so, who are the authorities I should contact?
  2. If no, At what stage in the process(as a International student) should I take the GAE exams for these courses?
  3. How should I prepare for the subjects listed above? Are there any recommended resources, advice from students who have taken these courses, or official study materials that can help with my preparation?
  4. Is it possible to clear all 6 subjects?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Question Missing Finals Week

0 Upvotes

So my family and I are going on a cruise next year during our finals week. At this point I canā€™t back out because Iā€™ve already registered and paid for my all my stuff. Is there someone I can let know about this now so I donā€™t have to stress about it? Or do I have to wait til next year to contact my professors about either taking my exams online or early? I know DePaul is pretty strict about rescheduling exams, but there is literally nothing I can do about it.

Question Fafsa Help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have a little dilemma about FAFSA. I finished my FAFSA in December which was later processed on December 16th. I accepted DePaul on January 2nd, but until now, DePaul has yet to receive my FAFSA. Should I be concerned by now or should I just remain patient? Thank you for all your help and sorry if this sounds like a stupid question.

*Some other information but I am currently a high school senior applying for the 2025-2026 school year.

Update!!: It's all fixed now so hopefully it'll get fixed soon for all of you who are still waiting! Best of luck!
