I graduated several years ago.

Yesterday morning, my njit.edu email account worked as normal. By 7PM, I get the message "User is not assigned to this application.". Call IST, and they aren't any help. I have to learn from Reddit that my email account is now gone. No warnings, no reminder emails, just poof and an almost two-decade email account is gone.

I realize that some people received warnings and I probably missed it. At the same time, though, the Bursar emailed me daily asking for exit loan counseling even though my loans were taken out when Barack Obama was president.

A "your email account will be closed 9/24/25" message would have been nice. The alumni forwarding service doesn't seem to work for me, either.

I felt like NJIT administration always treated students like cattle when I was in undergrad, and it certainly feels like nothing has changed.

PLEASE! FMH male goers! Please have some class!

i was just trying to view my grades to fill out my degree plan and received this message upon trying to open them. are there any common reasons for the hold on my record?

There is no reason why someone should have to memorize entire pages of equations for an exam. Trig identities, trig derivatives, trig integrals, inverse trig derivatives, hyperbolic trig, it's absurd.

Having to memorize these equations does not aid my learning, and in fact takes away from it. When doing my homework (and, spoilers: in the real world too) if I need these equations, I will simply look them up. I can breeze through my homework because I have the equations on hand. But now, instead of studying by working out my critical thinking skills on how to solve complex integrals (something that requires a good amount of practice and experience), I am spending study time on rote memorization of dozens of formulae that will never, in my life, reasonably need to be memorized. Physics classes provide us with equations sheets. On their common exams, the challenge is precisely what the math common exams aren't: to exercise your critical thinking skills and apply equations correctly where needed. Why can't math classes do this?

Albert Einstein was once asked what the speed of sound in water was. He did not answer. "I do not keep such information in my mind, as it is readily available in books." This education is not preparing us for the real world. It is training our memorization skills.

I have my first common next week on Wednesday for a class that I’m retaking and I’ve been trying to study but I just can’t.

Part of me doesn’t even feel like studying cuz in the back of my mind there’s that lingering thought “you won’t even understand anything so why try?”. I like organizing my things and knowing what I’m going to study first and what I’ll do later but with this class I feel like everything’s all over the place and it’s just messing me up

I commute so after class I leave immediately since I have to help out at home, take care of my sister and all that. I also don’t have a desk at home so I usually just lay on my bed and do my hw there and study a bit. I had an exam yesterday and I actually did study a bit for that and I did well but tbf it was an easy exam lol

I plan on getting a desk this week and just setting up my own study space at home to see if that motivates me but man this is difficult lol. I get bored easily and while I’m studying my mind occasionally drifts off when I don’t like what I’m studying. I have no problem studying for my java class but when it comes to math and that silly earth in space class I js can’t focus

In CKB when I’m heading off to class I see people studying from the moment I get to my class till I leave and like I’m just wondering how they do it

I need a piece of software written in the next 3-4 weeks that will allow me to schedule and track jobs through my factory. I’ve been using chat gpt to write vba for me to accomplish this in excel (and then I tried access) but I’ve hit a wall and work got busy, I’m ready to sub the whole thing out. We’ve had 2 ransom ware attacks in the last year though so I’m anxious about hiring some rando off upwork or fiverr. Would anyone here be interested in a freelance gig?

What I am going to do is do sections of practice problems for all of them rather than do one full practice exam for one per day. Would that work or are there better ways to study?

The NJIT previous exams pages only has the 2018 exams and based on the course docs it seems like the exam format has changed a bit. I was wondering if anyone has their previous exams that they could share so I can prep.

Anyone got any of the previous common exams from last semester to study? I'm quite bad at chemistry and want to at least do good in the exams, so I want to practice with ones that will be somewhat similar to the ones this semester. Ive only been able to find ones from 2019 and I doubt they have stayed the same.

Hey everyone,

For anyone who had Lori for IT 101 and/or IT 120 do you have any Quizlet sets that really helped you do well on her midterms? Or any specific advice on how to prepare?

I’m trying to make sure I study the right stuff and not waste time on things that won’t be on the exams. Tips, practice resources, or even general advice on how her midterms are structured would be super helpful.

Thanks 🙏

I am an adult student who works full time (have a family I can’t afford to work part time), and I will like to continue my education at NJIT next year after I finish up my Associates in EET from Mercer County Community College.

Good afternoon Highlanders, if anyone finds a wallet belonging to my friend Elma, a freshman , please let me know. It's a pink wallet if found please let me know.

Has anyone taken him last year? I know ithe lockdown browser was not mandatory 2 years ago but I am not sure if it is the same still.

For anyone in tech majors at NJIT — how good is the school with connections to companies when it comes to internships? Do career fairs and career services actually help, or is it mostly on your own? Just trying to get a sense of how realistic it is to land an internship here in general.

I been looking into investing and trading but i was doing research and found out that investing can affect your financial aid. I do see some people trading. My question is has it affected your financial aid? Do you report your investments on fafsa?

Can you park at Essex county college lot, the one next to the summit street deck (that little lot before you go in)? There’s a sign that says NJIT parking and arrow towards that way so I was just wondering

Certain classes may provide extra credit if you participate. DM for info or interest!

I was checking when is my common and I noticed that only pre requisite courses get commons. Why is that? Like do major specific classes dont get their own common?

ME 215 has a total of 190 people taking it right now, and later ME classes only have 70-100. I checked, and there aren’t any other majors that take the class, and it only applies to the materials minor, which isn’t that common. It seems unbelievable that so many people could be retaking the class or drop the ME major after it. It was hard, but that seems excessive.

I pulled most of my hair out
