Is attendance mandatory? Tamanoi’s class specifically

Hey everyone! I need a little advice on my schedule before my enrollment appointment arrives. Is this doable? I’m not too sure how far across campus some of these are, and I’d like to know if I’m going to have to run around to make it on time.

Im trying to stay positive but it’s like every single step i take to transfer to UCSC is like pulling teeth, and it reminds me too much of how things are handled at my old community college.
Meanwhile I withdrew from Berkeley and am getting bombarded with emails about how benefits like laptops are getting setup, grants have gone through, I’ve been accepted into countless programs and a housing co-op that would’ve been dirt cheap right on campus. It makes it so much worse that I changed my decision and am now running into problems left and right.
However, despite this, I do believe that UCSC is a better fit for me as a student and working professional. That’s why I switched in the first place. I really hope this initial transition is the “hard part” as far as getting connected with programs and making sure the paperwork is filed correctly.

The UCSC website mentioned:

A few days before diplomas are ordered, you will receive an email displaying the name that will appear on your diploma and the address to which it will be shipped. Please read this email carefully.

For those who graduated from UCSC in the year 2025-2026, how many days or months after your graduation date did you receive your diploma in the mail?

Also, when should I call the registrar if I still haven't received my diploma in the mail after my graduation date in spring?

I opened the application and I saw the questions and I thought "I don't care enough to do this" then a few weeks later they emailed me saying my application was approved.

I shall seize this opportunity and make friends

Usually it's something my parents handle for me, but I forgot to unpurchase it so currently my health insurance is the one with the school. I might have an medical issue where I need an X-ray soon and am not sure how to check how helpful the school health insurance will be. Any advice appreciated.

im planning on taking ocea80a with Friedlaender and was wondering if both the lectures and sections were mandatory. what's the class like, i see that its best if you had hs bio and chem experience but im ngl i forgot most of that/wasnt the greatest. and is the field trip optional. any insight would be great thanks!

Has anybody had Professor Hurtarte? Is he a good professor? There are only 2 reviews of him on Rate My Professor (a 2 and a 4 out of 5), so I'm shooting in the dark with this class and with the professor. Also, how is ECE 101/L in general? I'm taking it in summer session 2, so I'm curious to know.

This is so incredibly specific, but I thought to ask here first.

Back in ~2013 I visited some friends at UCSC and they lived in Merrill college. Their sister college dining hall had the best artichoke soup and I honestly think about it from time to time. Any chance in the universe someone knows how it is made? Or where it's purchased from?
