1. Cancel School when the weather is dangerous

   As a commuter student I was barely able to get in to school today with the inclement weather and terrible roads, and I have a relatively easy commute compared to some others. Even after the roads parking lots on campus were an icy nightmare followed by sliding down sidewalks on the walk to class. If the administration cancelled class, or even gave a late start, we all could've avoided that purgatory

2. What is the point of Trailhead?

   Seriously, what is the point of having a web "portal" if I have to log into EVERY. SINGLE. INDIVIDUAL. WEBSITE.?!? It would be interesting to calculate how much time is collectively lost by students and staff having to perform all of these redundant logins. When I use a web portal, I expect to only have to login ONCE and then have the portal carry my credentials over to whatever site I link to from the portal.

   Also, why is there no direct link to OrePrint on Trailhead?

3. Meal Plans and Munch Money

   I think there should be an option to add Munch Money to your Blaster card. I don't want to purchase a full meal plan but munch money is incredibly convenient and could help speed up the lines in the Periodic Table.

4. BlasterCard Access to Greek Houses Over Winter Break

   I have a HUGE problem with the plan to have Greek houses closed over winter break. It’s unrealistic to assume every student living in Greek housing will not be here over break, and for those of us who are planning to stay in Golden, are we supposed to just stay here and be homeless for a few weeks? The FSL Coordinator (and whoever else is in on this idea) cannot seriously expect any students staying in Golden to have another place to live for just a few weeks. I know a few students who will be working and several who are expected to return early for the start of the season for ski team. Are we to just take everything we’ll need — clothes, bedding, food, a washer and dryer, SKI GEAR — with us while we’re kicked out of our homes for a month? If the problem is following the residence hall rules, I’m sure we’d all be happy to oblige unplugging a few things. I’d much rather have a place to sleep at night.

5. Most of the computer labs on campus are absolutely disgusting

   In my entire time at Mines, nearly every computer lab I have worked in has been very dirty. I think these computer labs, especially those in Alderson, need to be added to a cleaning schedule. If they already are on one, they need to be cleaned more frequently or someone needs to be in charge of making sure the cleaning gets done. With sickness already a massive problem students must deal with, the computers we are often required to be working on should not be as dirty as they are. I understand every computer lab isn't going to be spotless because rotation of students using the computers is so widespread, but some effort needs to go into this because it certainly isn't getting better by itself.

6. Delay and Cancellation Timing Announcements

   Mines said that they would announce a delay or closure at 5:30 am. This would have benefited the rec center student employees as well as the swim team who all got up and came to campus and opened the building which then had to be closed five minutes later. There should be more accountability for Mines to actually stick to their word especially since this closure was due to road conditions that the people who drove on had to drive on again, thus risking their safety. Since campus is closed they do not have the option to stay in a building unless they have access to one. The call should have been made when they said they would so that the students and employees effected could have actually benefited from this closure.

7. "Meaningful Snowdays" - Student safety should be paramount, PCJ and USG.

   I'd like to preface this message by mentioning that I don't even own a car, and yet it is still a danger for me to walk to school given the icy sidewalk conditions. Additionally, any commuting student from nearby municipalities such as Denver, Lakewood or Arvada are exposed to extreme risks because of the road conditions. With the recent homecoming event, I think it should be paramount that the faculty, USG and PCJ focus on the meaningful safety of their students. As much of a burden it is to cancel school or temporarily postpone campus, and as much as students argue for snow days just to have the day off, I would personally feel safer and more comfortable in my everyday commute to a school that prioritizes my safety and comfort as opposed to putting MY LIFE at risk to learn how to take an integral or calculate a moment on a beam. Moreover, students with disabilities, temporary or permanent, have a significant disadvantage commuting to school or simply getting from class to class when it is difficult for someone with NO disabilities to walk from class to class without falling and potentially hurting themselves on campus grounds. Every student should have the same opportunity to attend school, and if the weather prevents one student from being able to succeed here at Mines, then why would it be okay for the faculty to open campus without, at minimum, a temporary closure of campus until facilities have time to allow for safe grounds for travel. I'd like to emphasize a previous What's Your Beef post outlining a commuter shuttle option for students living in Mines Park. At the very least, there should be additional support and/or options if school should continue with opening campus on days with dangerous conditions such as the morning of today, October 28th, 2019. I urge USG to be more attentive with the faculty and let the voice of the students be heard that we do feel unsafe and uncomfortable on mornings like today. We are not simply looking for a way to skips class. A lack of student comfort as a result of dangerous commuting conditions should be recognized in the Snowday decision. -Thank you

8. Rumors re: graduation schedule for next semester

   It is rumored that the graduation schedule will be changed next semester so some students would graduate on Thursday night, others on Friday, and all inside. We would be divided by majors. We started together, we should end together. Dividing for the sake of convenience for the school greatly takes away from the meaning of the day for us. Graduation is an incredibly important day that we have all worked towards TOGETHER, we should all be together in the end.

   AdminMines USG (Undergraduate Student Government, Undergraduate Student Government) responded

   USG is meeting with the executive board of Mines and plan to discuss graduation concerns at this meeting. We have sent out a survey to relay all student concerns regarding this manner. We plan to bring your concerns to the executive board and will return to this post with an update.

10. Where my diploma at? - David (and everybody else)

    I think that the registrar should send out the PDF diplomas to all the seniors that graduated in May.

    I understand that the registrar is busy, but here are some numbers to show that it's wild that we haven't gotten them yet:

    Days since May 10th, 2019: 122
    Minus weekends (36 days): 86
    Days if they took two weeks off: 76

    If you assume that there was only one person in the registrar's office taking care of absolutely everything, I'd say maybe we'd lose 40 DAYS (1,600 working hours) to working on registration. That would leave 36 days. I understand the registrar does more than just that, they also schedule rooms and there are a lot of summer conferences and camps and such. Let's give them another 10 days (80 hours) for room scheduling. That leaves 26 days, or 208 working hours. Remember, this is assuming only ONE person is working in the registrar and handling these duties.

    There were ~963 graduates last semester. The diplomas aren't remade for each individual person with a different design or font, and the registrar has been tracking our progress and graduation requirements throughout our education (heck they told us during senior salute what our progress was) so forgive me if I'm wrong here, but it shouldn't take more than 100 working hours to confirm everything is right and be able to approve diplomas.

    Now, the registrar has a lot of responsibilities, and they do a lot of good work for the school and they're definitely hard workers. But this is making some extreme assumptions in order to try and understand why we don't have the PDF versions of our diplomas. I'm assuming they would have to send in the PDF version to the people that do the metal etching anyway, so it would be great if we could get some sort of timeline as to when we will get our PDF diplomas, if not our actual PDF diplomas.

11. Overfilling Classrooms Beyond Number of Seats/Fire Capacity

    For the past 3 years classes have been filled above fire capacity. If it was 1 or 2 students this would be fine, but I've been in classes with around 10 (or more) extra people in them. It's frustrating to pay thousands of dollars to not be even guaranteed a seat in class. You have to fight to get a seat, and this is happening in everything from large lectures to classes in COMPUTER LABS. Professors are letting countless students blue slip in because they don't want to block their graduation schedule (as they should), but there is no support or infrastructure for making sure students can get in their necessary classes while keeping us safe. This semester I am in Machine Learning and they filled the class over by around 10 people. After a week of students sitting on the floor, they've just moved the class to a bigger room. This would be fine, but it's a course that requires a computer during the class, and we moved to a regular room. Now EVERY STUDENT is expected to bring their own personal computer. This is unfair. What about students that can't afford a laptop, or one light enough to lug around every T/TH? What about students that only have a home computer or a laptop that can't keep its charge for a full 75 minute class? This is detrimental and disruptive to our education, and this is not the first time this has been brought up. It's yet another symbol that Mines doesn't actually think about the well being of students--they just send out emails claiming they do.

12. Parking permits should begin and end during the 1st week of classes (or on census day)

    The first order of business for returning students should NOT be renewing their parking permits. And students who are on campus over the summer should not be surprised on August 1st when they get a ticket for an expired permit. Get rid of the arbitrary August 1st date. Allow returning students to get settled and get funding for the semester straightened out before making them buy a parking permit.

13. Make K-lot more connected/accessible

    It's bad enough when you get stuck out in the K-lot, but the walk to campus feels extra long because the athletic complex is fenced off and locked. Although the distance is not a big issue, it would feel more like you are actually parking on campus if you could walk through campus to get to class. Unlock the gates, or make a designed walking path.

14. FRESHMAN HAVE COMMUTER PASSES AND NOW ALL LOTS ARE FULL BY 10 AM!!!

    I am beyond pissed about this. We already had shitty parking. You already took away a whole fucking lot for christ's sake. Now, somebody decided that the freshman should have access to commuter passes. This clearly was not well thought out. This new freshman class is one of the largest, and the fucking live on campus so they leave their fucking cars in the lot. HALF THE SPOTS ARE TAKEN BY THE TIME I GO TO BED AT NIGHT! What the fuck? Who the fuck do I start a jihad against. I didn't pay $130 to get parking tickets everyday. Somebody please fix this. Additionally Mines should be paying for these parking tickets. What the fuck.

15. CS should stop scheduling multiple 400-level courses at the same time.

    Currently, Computer Science has 3 different 400-level classes in the 12:30-1:45 T/Th slot: Operating Systems, Simulations, and Networks II. I (and a lot of other people I know) would like to take multiple of these courses. However, Networks II is a special topics, and Simulations is fall-only. That means that even if we put off Operating Systems, which is offered both semesters, we may never have the opportunity to take all of these classes.

    There are barely any CS classes offered on MWF. Why are we double- and triple-scheduling courses in this one time slot when we have almost every time slot on MWF available with no 300 or 400 level courses at all?

16. Required recitations should be scheduled at the same time as the course time.

    Recitations generally are required and scheduled later in the afternoon compared to the course they are linked with. They should be instead scheduled at the exact same time as the course scheduled time as if it were a normal class day. This makes a lot of students who have extra curricular afternoon activities, or jobs miss out on the required recitations that are supposed to help them in the first place. I don't see why they can't match the times better or at least offer earlier recitations?

17. Financial Aid Portal within Self Service is Impossible to Navigate

    When I log into Trailhead and head to the Self Service tab, I get frustrated so quickly. The anger is mainly centered around how difficult it is to use the Financial Aid portal within Self Service. It's ridiculously hard to navigate, and I often end up going in circles online when I'm looking for specific information. The interface is not user-friendly at all, and I usually give up and decide I need to set aside time to physically visit the Financial Aid office the next day. We pay so much money to the school; it shouldn't be this hard to access our own financial information (and going over finances is already a stressful enough task as-is). My goal for making this post is to ask for USG's help in putting some pressure on CCIT and whatever other necessary departments to make the Self Service tab more user-friendly and navigable. A simple step would be to put together some surveys or focus groups that give students a direct way to communicate their issues with the system.

18. During the summer there's no need to force us to pay for a parking pass

    Pretty simple really. The only reason that it's ok to make people pay for parking passes during the school year is because there's too many people and not enough spots. I get it. But during the summer there's always, always, spots available. Why can I not park in a half empty parking lot at the school I give thousands of dollars to to begin with, without paying for yet another fee??? If every other spot is available, clearly there's no need to enforce a monetary restriction on the parking spots. You guys are clearly just looking for another reason to scam money from students.

If every other spot is available, clearly there's no need to enforce a monetary restriction on the parking spots. You guys are clearly just looking for another reason to… more

19. Mines Student Directory ought to be made students-only, like many other universities.

    The Mines student directory is open to the public to search for names, majors, emails, and whatever else you have allowed through trailhead (but at minimum, your name and major). But you cannot be removed from the directory unless you also don't want to walk with your class at graduation, or get involved in anything that requires a confirmation of attendance. The only way to have your information removed from the public eye is for Mines to pretend like you don't exist, which can be detrimental for acquiring scholarships and jobs. Many other large universities require students to log into their accounts to search the student directory, keeping student information away from the public eye. This represents a security risk for students with legitimate reasons to keep their attendance private from the world, and may potentially rob them of future opportunities and the joy of walking at graduation. I propose a small change that would make a big difference: keep the student directory behind a Multipass login. This would still allow students to look up contact information of classmates, track down the owners of lost flash drives, and find out if their major change has gone through, without putting the information of students at risk.

20. Oreprint Connectivity

    Am I the only person who’s personal computer refuses to connect to the Oreprint system? If not why is this still a problem?
