<p>General Comments:
UCSC is just a safety for me, so I don’t care much for it at all.</p>
<p>@Phoenix- I was having the same problem so I called the school. Talk about a duh moment after they explained to me what the deal is!! But apparently they had been getting calls all day about it so we aren’t the only ones confused. I was too focused on the “no message” part of the screen and didn’t look around enough!!</p>
<p>After you’ve signed into your portal, see where it says “no messages”? Now, look to the left of that. There is a huge arrow pointing up that says, “Click on main menu” and if you look to where the arrow is pointing, in teeny, tiny letters it actually says main menu. Click on that (not the big arrow). Once you click on the main menu it will drop down and say something like “check your application status” or something and there it will be.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
