The only course offered in the first 8 weeks that counts toward my required credits is already full, and there is no waitlist. The other available courses are electives that will not help with my degree requirements. Can anyone suggest what can be done in this situation?

I still haven’t heard back yet, so I’m on a call and waiting for my turn to know why I haven’t heard back yet. But hopefully I get an answer soon.

looks like it might be way bigger than I originally thought…
“A huge stage downtown with the courthouse in the background, projection mapping, art installations lasers, food, drinks and thousands of people” sounds pretty insane for San Marcos.

I’m trying to see if people are actually planning on going because this feels like it could be one of the coolest things San Marcos has done in a long time or absolute bs. Only because I’ve never seen anything like this in sm, but it seems legit… anyone going? Juicy J would be fun af lol

I am a Wazzu fan who will be attending the game in November. Im just curious where are the visiting fans usually seated? And also what the type of seats are(just out of curiosity). Are they benches? I went to the game in Madison a few years ago when wsu played Wisconsin, and Camp Randall is all benches. Our home stadium is at least half chair seating. I've been looking at tickets and there seems to be a lot of available seats from 101-111🤷‍♂️. Anyway... that's all I was curious about. Thank you for humoring me. Have a good day.

I just want to read ahead since I have nothing to do this summer I'm supposed to get into next year spring. Thanks

Hey guys,

I'm in phase 2 for a social work bachelor and after having signed up for all of my classes I couldn't see if any classes required meeting times. I'm a transfer student from community college so this has been pretty confusing.

As far as I can tell it only shows how long the course runs for in the fall but nothing else aside from the professor and pre-reqs.

Schedule is empty and all of the courses show the same text as in the first image. Second image is my blank schedule. Does this just mean they're all online/asynchronous/complete on my own time?

Hey guys, I’m looking to purchase a parking permit for this upcoming fall semester. I will only be going to campus on Thursdays for a class. I have never taken a in person class. I will be a senior this upcoming fall semester. How do I purchase a permit? I went on the permit portal but was only shown 2025-2026 and can’t seem to even find a map for the round rock parking? Help plz

hello, i'm graduating in august and i was curious as to if the square will be as busy and fun then as it is for spring/fall graduation? i'd love to go square, but im not sure if it'll be as busy

also, has anyone gone to austin after graduating with their stole on? i'm thinking about going to 6th street the night before but idk if that's like "normal" or not with txst grads.

I’m an incoming freshman that recently updated my personal information on Catsweb by adding a preferred name in addition to my legal name. By adding my preferred name, will it be my preferred name or my legal name that shows up on my Bobcat card when I receive it at NSO? It currently shows up on the TXST app with my preferred name but i’ve heard mixed answers about the physical real Bobcat card.

I will be living in Chataqua Hall this upcoming semester and was wondering about the curtain rod for the walk in closet. No where on the housing website or online it says whether or not there is a curtain rod provided. I've heard that there is and there isn't so im just wondering if i need to buy one now. Also what is the length and width of it so I can have the right size curtain. Thanks for your help!

Made a doc called "Everything I Wish I Knew Before Coming to TXST" Including dorms, classes, registration tips, all of it. I'm a junior now so it's been tested. Open to everyone, comments on if you've got genuine questions. Hope it helps!

This might be a dumb question but I’m an incoming sophomore who will be living off campus in an apartment on the shuttle route. I’m not too sure how the shuttle works so I was wondering if someone could kind of give an explanation of how it works. I listed out a few questions.

1. how will I know how long the shuttle takes to get to campus? How about for how long it will take to get me back to my apartment?
   
2. Are there specific shuttle stops at the Texas state campus just for the students that live off campus because I know there’s the campus loop one. If so, how do I figure out which stops are which?
   
3. Are you able to figure out when the next shuttle is coming based on the tracking system on the TXST app? I heard it comes every 10 minutes but I’m not sure if that’s correct.
   
4. I see that students get dropped off at different shuttle stop locations such as at LBJ but I’m not sure if that is just for the campus loop shuttle. Are the ones for the apartment students just the ones where they get dropped off at the big arch?

Hello! I am a rising freshman and will be living on campus next year without a car (and without a license for that matter </3) I was wondering what jobs are recommended for me to apply to that are walking distance from campus. I want to bring my bike with me but I’m honestly terrified of trying to ride down these hills with my bike (I do realized this fear is not rational lol), so I probably won’t be bringing it. I also am a bit weary of applying to somewhere that would require me to take the bus/shuttle since I feel as though they can be unreliable and will prevent me from working later shifts because I believe the bus doesn’t run at night. I know about campus jobs through handshake, but first I would like to apply to off campus ones since on campus ones don’t really make too much money lolol. Anything helps!!

lost my card alr after NSO when I go to get a replacement are they able to make it right then, or can I still at least add something to my apple wallet thats useable or do I need to like drive up a few days before move in to take my pic and order it to pick it up so i have it ready once im there.

Mostly looking for cyber security, I found a few but I’m shocked at how little there are. Wondering if I’ve missed a few.

For those of you who fund your own school expenses and rent, I’m wondering if you work retail or food service or something else. I’m a server transferring from ACC but don’t want to entirely miss out on the college experience. Best days to be a server are Friday and Saturday hands down which means I think I would miss any parties or fun things happening. Then there’s fast food and retail etc. (maybe) lower pay but potentially more life balance. You could work a shift at the outlet mall, get out by 8:30 and then go out (I think). I have no idea what the job market is competing with so many students, and getting a job could be different in San Marcos.

I want to move in first and give myself a few weeks to figure it out but I’m wondering what you have found or settled with balancing your life as a student and worker

How many of you have completed this program or are completing it and have already found a job?

What did you find and what is your salary?

Money isn’t everything but it’s important to know before spending anything on a degree.

Hi! Any current students of the Radiation therapy program I could speak to? :)

Im finishing a healthcare degree and planning to apply to the program this upcoming January for next school year.

I plan to get the required clinical hours this semester but beyond that I dont have any experience in radiation therapy but the field interests me. Could I still be a viable applicant if I have gpa requirement and involvement in pre rtt club/other outside similar experiences?
Or any advice what the interview is like?

Im just a little anxious thinking already, because if I dont get accepted my first attempt I dont believe ill have funds to try again, and would have to apply to something else. 🙁

I’m an incoming freshman and I wanted to buy an electric scooter or bike since I wouldn’t be bring a car with me. I know no electric scooters aren’t technically allowed in the dorms, but I am curious to what mode of transportation would actually be the best for campus life.

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for your support and suggestions.

One of the biggest pieces of feedback I received after launching Bobcat Market was that students don't always have something to buy or sell—but they're often looking for housing or roommates. And I'm happy to announce that I've added dedicated Housing support.

What's new?
Three housing listing types

- Room for Rent
- Looking for Roommate
- Sublease

A dedicated housing posting form
Instead of using the standard marketplace form, housing listings now include fields such as monthly rent, lease dates, bedrooms, bathrooms, utilities, parking, pets, preferred gender, address, and more.

Improved browsing
Housing listings can now be filtered by listing type, making it easier to find exactly what you're looking for.

Better listing experience
Key information like rent, bedrooms, bathrooms, and preferred gender is displayed directly on listing cards and the listing page.

As I'm actively improving user experience, I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions!

Thank you all!

Hello! I am currently attending Austin Community College and will be transferring to TXST after I complete my AS. Was wondering if anyone has any input regarding the quality of the geography department? And any advice moving forward with this degree? TYIA!

I submitted my application to my local VA office for my GI Bill Benefits on the 13th. I was unaware that I had to submit an application to TXST as well. Now that I’m aware, I feel pretty dumb. The deadline was the 15th, today is the 16th. Am I screwed? I’m an incoming freshman and I cannot take this already. Plus the system isn’t working! Has anyone submitted a late application? Did you have to pay the full semester?

Is there any Whatsapp, discord, groupme or any other group for people who play soccer? I`d love to join them since I really love playing soccer.

Do the dining halls have bacon at breakfast- if so which?
