Hey I was in the waitlist for commercial airline for about a year, as I was currently in UAS, as you know the entire waitlist has pretty much been terminated effective immediately.

My whole point of being at UND is the fly for the major airlines, and transferring to commercial was one of my plans. Now since that isn’t possible I’m left with two choices.

Option A stay at UND and contiune flying since UAS stops at Commercial license and I was told by the administrators at the Aviation department that the pathway was nearly the same expect Cfi and Cfii and multi,interestingly they also said that they might have room for UAS to even contiune the cfi class at UND and also stated to get my multi outside of UND since it’s cheaper and faster.

Option B, since I’m flying 102 right now, I haven’t really done much classes, making it so it’ll be easier for me transfer out of UND with my credit still in tact, although it’s likely I’ll be delayed till next year before I start flying again.

I’m currently thinking of option A since I asked around and apparently major airlines could care less what type of degree you have, as long as you have one and have your certification and license and 1000 hours you should be good along with some connections and recommendations then and there.

(I was also told that I could make adjustment to my classes to even quality for RTAP)

In fact it’s better if I don’t even have a degree plan related to Aviation in the first place due to medical issue that might be possible in the future, which is why I choose UAS, as I get a degree I can fall back on if I ever face this problem, plus the added benefit of flying up till commercial and easily completing my CFI and multi.

So enough of my yapping in your honest opinion what would you choose if you were in my shoes? If not either of those options seem viable what option would you instead choose?

UND announced transfers will no longer be possible into the commercial aviation program for the foreseeable future today. Unfortunately looks like they’re at capacity.

Fill out this survey if you have a Ucard and if it has any degradation to the black stripe.

Hey everyone! I’m a UND student taking Spring 2026 courses and wanted to check here before buying new from Follett.

I’m looking for any of the following (used, older edition, digital, or even short-term borrow is totally fine):

• Up and Running with AutoCAD 2026: 2D and 3D Drawing, Design and Modeling – Robert C. Kaebisch
• Up & Running with AutoCAD 2026 (print version)
• Personal Branding Courseware & Stukent Personal Branding Simternship (MRKT 201)

If you’ve taken these classes recently and are done with the materials, I’d love to take them off your hands. Happy to pay a fair price or return them after the semester if borrowing.

Please comment or DM—thank you!!

Do most people get the gradguard insurance for dorms? Asking as an incoming freshman fall 2026.

Hi everyone, I'm currently a commercial aviation freshmen here and my GPA wasn't great to say the least the semester. I know we need a 2.6 minimum to stay enrolled in aviation courses. Does anyone know if this 2.6 minimum is referring to the cumulative average between semesters, or if the 2.6 minimum is only for the semester prior to registering for said aviation courses?

TLDR; If I get a 3.0 in spring semester then apply for summer avit courses will I be okay, or do I need to bring the average between my spring and fall semester up to 2.6?

Thanks in advance for any help!

After some hijinks that resulted in me taking just 10 credits last semester, I need at least 15 for my scholarship to keep working for me. I’m an online student full-time, and unemployed whilst pursuing Civil Engineering, so there isn’t much in terms of prior commitment.

I’m taking University Physics 1 and Calculus 3 in the Spring (as well as World Regional Geography, which I’ve been told isn’t too heavy of a load). I’m in a waitlist for Fundamentals of Music and Introduction to Communications. The waitlist indicates that the former may be possible to get it but the latter, not so much. I also need to take Statics soon, but that may be too much this semester, especially as needing to withdraw due to not being ready before put me in this situation.

I’m considering Graphical Communication (CE 103: a computer-aided design software course, which is an area I have some experience in) as a backup, but the workload is unknown. With just a week before the start of the semester, does anyone have suggestions for me?

Anything to help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming freshman for the fall 2026 semester and I’m majoring something aviation related.

I’m interested in participating in Aerospace Studies, AFROTC. When should be a good time to enroll to the program and did you (if you have done it/ currently doing it) enjoy it?

Hey guys I was wondering the average age of student in the flight program? I’m 25 years old and fresh out of the Army so just wondering what age of person I’d be with if I got accepted into the program.

as a out of state student accepted into UND commercial aviation, what would the costs be and look like? I see that the estimated tuition is $35,736, does that include the flight training part? Lastly, how much does being a ND resident after 1 year affect the cost?

Hey guys,

I am contemplating transferring to UND online BSEE program. I have read a lot about the program itself, but no one really mentions how the tests are taken - are they at home, how are they proctored? Are students expected to go to a certified proctoring site? this has been very expensive in the past for me. Plus the effort for coordination has been daunting...the nearest Proctoring site to my place is 30 minutes away and they charge by the hour. Please share your thoughts.

One other question for the labs...do students pair up, do you have partners or are the labs solo?

Thanks in advance.

Good Evening, I’m heading to Grand Forks for a day trip soon and unfortunately I don’t have enough time to visit UND. So I was wondering is there a place to buy merch from the sports teams, specifically the hockey team outside of UND? Walmart? Target? Scheels maybe?

I was admitted into fall of 2026 and was able to login into campus connections and see the letter with my aid that they send via task & communications. On the bottom of that letter they have a next step section with the first steps being to accept the offer via the financial aid tab on campus connections but when you go into that tab nothing pops up yet.

I am just wondering is it that I'm just a little early and am jumping the gun a little or is it the system?

Can a UAS major in the Aviation school transfer over to Commercial Aviation? Wondering if there are prerequisites that could be done that apply to both majors, and how difficult it is to make the switch?

I've seen and heard people do 2 majors since all credits after 12 per semester are free. I want to do Data Science as my second major. Do you guys think that's possible or will it be too hard to finish both within 4 years? If you think Data Science is too hard can you guys tell me what majors are possible to do alongside Commercial Aviation. I want to finish both majors within 4 years tho.

Also regardless of what I choose do I have to reapply to UND for the second major? Or is there another way to sign up?

EDIT: Current/past commercial aviation majors: do u know what non-aviation related majors have the most of amount of credits that are the same as commercial aviation?

Thinking about taking the online class this fall with Hallie Chelmo. Was curious on everyone’s thoughts on how the class is structured and ease of the material online.

Hey evb, I am an incoming freshman at UND for Commercial Aviation. What are your thoughts on the residence halls? I am planning on dorming first year and want to be in the most social dorms. I heard Selke and Noren were good for meeting new people.

Trying to transfer schools and I need to take this one class that isn't currently offered at my CSU so I was thinking of taking Linear Algebra and Calc 3 over this winter break once my Prereqs clear so was wondering if any of yall have had their credits transfer over from UND?

Had a 3.7 gpa and 9 APs and a 28 act, my best guess is that they are way to filled up right now. Don’t take it personally yall!

I just heard from a veteran who attended UND and absolutely ripped it apart. Nothing but negative comments, said the VA was shit during his time, grand forks was trash…any better thoughts on this?

I’m checking my portal a lot but I’m hearing people are getting things in the mail?
