Question Summer Student Work Program

11 Upvotes

I applied to some positions in the student work program for spring/summer on Mosaic, and a few of those positions closed ~2 weeks ago. If i haven't gotten a response in that time, does that mean i was rejected, or do they usually take longer to reply for an interview? Around what time would I hear back if they want me to interview?

Question Assignment Extensions

5 Upvotes

Can a prof give you an extension if you ask without MSAF? My prof says they are happy to give us an extension on an assignment and said it’s better to ask for an extension if you managed your time poorly than to cheat and use ai because you will get caught. Do you think they meant I should MSAF it or just email to ask for an extension?

Question Leaving after move-out date

13 Upvotes

I’m in a dilemma where I booked a non-refundable train ticket to move out of my res on April 16th, but according to the rules, my move move-out date is April 15th at 3pm. I live with a roommate who’s moving out later so I was planning to just turn in my keys and access card 3pm on the 15th and leave the next day. Will I get caught doing this? Does anyone know how they check to see if you’ve left by your move-out date?

Question Bio 1M03 MC for Evolution

19 Upvotes

Hello everyone! For the Bio 1M03 tests I keep doing terribly on the multiple choice (specifically the evolution section), and since the exam will be mostly multiple choice I'm really worried. If anyone of you have done well on them may I please know how? I know my stuff but the way she asks the questions confuses me and there always seems to be more than one right answer. The practice questions are good but there's only so many 😭. Please help and thank you so much!

Question When does meal plan money expire?

4 Upvotes

So I was on some fasting shit the entire first semester like some days I was eating one meal a day shits wack I know so anyways now I have $600 left and only like two weeks to spend it. However, I am taking a course over the summer. The only information on what happens to the money was that it gets halved for the next year. Does this mean I get to keep the $600 meal plan for the summer or does it like get halved once my exams in April end?

Question MSAF Question

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if I can still MSAF an assignment if it's due on the last day of classes (April 8 this term)? I don't see why not, but I do see how it could get complicated.

Much appreciated!
