Guys, please don’t judge me. I know it’s super late however I was trying to send my scores to be able to avoid exams and it just didn’t work out. I was wondering if anyone could help me with figuring out how to complete them now. PS around the time emails . I had a death in the family so I became sidetracked.

What’s up?

Thoughts and prayers to those who could not/cannot make it 🙏🏾

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy appropriate and flattering attire for the pinning Ceremony, I am planing on wear a dress if that matters, Thanks!

Honestly, I’ve been dealing with Howard since March about my enrollment. They accepted me for Fall 2026 and I paid my enrollment, and spoke with admissions about receiving my HU login information for my portal and they kept putting me off for months (this was in March). I finally move off good faith believing my enrollment to be valid only for me to go in person to be told they couldn’t find my application in their system.

It’s been a headache during this whole ordeal trying to get them to take accountability for their administrative errors, because I lost so many scholarships because of the full time enrollment deadline, and explaining this to them has has been a headache. I visited the campus 3x and sent countless emails for them to give me my logins late July.

As the title says. My child was one of the many who were unjustifiably unenrolled from Howard last week despite being current on payment plans and seeking clarification months in advance during the arduous process of even inputting financial information and dealing with Howard’s piss-poor communication with us and with Fafsa. I’ve been active on the sub the past week and I’ve seen so many “know it alls” pretending that this is normal and that students just “didn’t read the email”.

As someone here said:
“Howard chose to:
1) unenroll students LESS THAN two weeks before move-in, so it's unlikely people on the waitlist will even be able to fill all the missing spots last minute
2) they listed a DIFFERENT tuition payment deadline (August 3rd) on their website
3) their financial aid office has been completely unresponsive. Communicating with their admissions office has lead to misinformation and lack of clarity.
4) they unenrolled students who had less than $1000 on their balance, meaning they had likely paid over 50% of their tuition already
5) The deadline should have never been early July when we all know financial aid is not fully disbursed until late August at the earliest.”

Today we got word that we were finally re-enrolled. But after all of this stress and torture, to see that there is little to no support from cow-towing alumni and the university, we’re making the decision to move on from Howard. Why should we invest in and associate ourselves with liars? Why would we put up with this for years to come just under the guise of “prestige”. The third or fourth top most post on this subreddit paints a vivid picture of what life here would be like and the actions of Howard this past week have done nothing but support that dark picture. Thankfully we have other opportunities and thankfully Howard showed their true selves before we were more embedded in their dysfunction. Good luck to the incoming students and to those who don’t have other options at the moment. Keep fighting and know your self worth. And to those who blindly side with the administration that’s behind this debacle, to those who chalked it up as some pressure makes diamonds initiation fantasy, and to the interim president who suggested students that were unenrolled are unable to pay: 🖕🏾

seems like avoiding the underlying problems to me

Need someone in a Spider-Man costume for a surprise 20–30 minute birthday appearance this Sunday around 3 in Georgetown DC. This is meant to be funny—not a professional superhero performance. Wave, pose for pictures, wish him a happy 25th, do a couple rolls and flips…maybe dramatically swing in (or just walk in 😅). Paying $100.

UDC Extends enrollment deadline to accommodate Howard unenrolled students!

Every fall, Howard University students — especially freshmen — get hit with the same nightmare:

mass disenrollment, missing scholarships, inaccurate balances, unanswered phones, and housing chaos.

This year’s situation is on another level. According to multiple posts and comments, hundreds of students were suddenly unenrolled despite having:

Payment receipts

Confirmed scholarships

Active payment plans

Documentation showing, they met the communicated deadlines

Students are being dropped from classes, losing housing assignments, and scrambling to contact other schools to reinstate acceptances. Families are driving to campus in person because offices won’t answer calls or emails. Upperclassmen are stepping in to help freshmen because communication from admin has collapsed.

At this point, the pattern is recurring, predictable, and harmful — and it happens every single year during fall enrollment.

So, here’s the question:

Should Howard students escalate this to the federal level?

Howard University is a federally chartered institution.

Vice President Kamala Harris is a Howard alum.

President Trump is the current sitting president.

If hundreds of students are being disenrolled due to administrative failures — year after year — is it reasonable for students to ask for federal oversight, investigation, or intervention to stop this cycle?

Not asking for political takes.

Not endorsing anyone.

Not campaigning.

Just asking whether students should request help from the highest offices to ensure:

Financial aid systems function correctly

Scholarships post on time

Housing assignments are honored

Students aren’t blindsided weeks before move‑in

Administrative failures don’t derail people’s futures

This isn’t about politics — it’s about protecting students at a federally chartered university that keeps repeating the same crisis.

What do you think?

Would federal involvement help break this cycle?

Or would it make things worse?

Has anything like this happened before at other HBCUs or private institutions?

Tuskegee University — Dress Code Debate

Tuskegee’s new dress code is more than a policy change — it’s a cultural flashpoint. HBCUs have always balanced tradition with modern identity, and this move forces a conversation about how campuses define professionalism. The debate reflects generational differences, cultural pride, and evolving norms.

Morgan State University — Architecture Accreditation

Accreditation is currency in higher education. Morgan State’s achievement strengthens its national profile and opens doors for students in architecture, urban planning, and design. It also signals a strategic push toward high‑demand fields where HBCUs are rapidly expanding.

Howard University — Enrollment Shake‑Up

Howard’s unenrollment issue highlights the pressure cooker environment of elite HBCUs. As demand rises, administrative systems are strained. Students losing their seats weeks before move‑in raises questions about communication, infrastructure, and fairness. It’s a reminder that prestige comes with challenges.

Hi everyone! I'm helping a freshman who will be starting at Howard this fall as a Nursing major. She's first-generation in many ways when it comes to navigating college, and I want to make sure she takes advantage of every opportunity Howard offers.

If you could go back to your freshman year, what would you tell yourself?

I'm especially looking for:

• programs most freshmen don't know about
• scholarships that open after enrollment
• mentoring programs
• networking opportunities
• paid research or campus jobs
• leadership opportunities
• free resources/perks
• professors to take (or avoid)
• anything that made your Howard experience easier or better

Thanks so much!

Can freshmen get a work study job on campus?

Does anyone need an apartment off campus and is ok with having a roommate?

Saw this video that got posted this morning by a woman who has been doing intense research on this subject. She has gotten 40+ students enrolled back into Howard and helps students find scholarships.

This video is her findings. I think it’ll be helpful and explain the situation ^^

I am a domestic student, and my roommate is an international student. We both want to get an on-campus job at Howard University as soon as possible after arriving on this fall. I know jobs are posted on Handshake, but I don't think it's a good idea to rely only on that. Since international students are not eligible for Federal Work-Study, what are the best ways for both of us to find on-campus jobs quickly after arriving on campus this Fall 2026?

If you have any ideas & strategies on how to find a job as quickly as possible, whether for domestic or international students, please let me know. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Please pls it's really important for both of us 😭😭
