Thread: Dropped classes...

Is this a rant? It should be moved to rant of the day otherwise I'm not really sure what your point of this thread is.

P.S. Stop bumping old threads that your input won't matter in.

This is less of a rant as a wake-up call to see if others are having the same issue with their schools, a dropped class preventing one from graduating in good time. If it was a rant of the day, it would likely be over a piddly bullshit topic like who cut me off while I was trying to park at a market.

As far as bumping threads, define old. 90 days or less? Not old. Last year? Yeah, that's old. So what's your point?

Start making a stink. There's certainly a chance that some other class could "meet the requirements" if they want. In college, I was faced with a similar situation; I argued with the appropriate people, and they said that other classes could substitute in.

Start yelling. Make sure to use key phrases like "alumni donations" and stuff like that.

lol Alumni donations. I do agree though. Your wife should make a "stink". That's bullshit especially if she has aid money that would pay for the course.

I haven't had a class i needed dropped yet or anything like that but i also don't have classed i need to take in order to graduate that can't be substituted with something else. The only thing that has slightly changed that makes me very sad is my history senior seminar. The topics are at the instructors discretion and they all suck for next semester so i wont graduate in time but i already knew that. I dont think that will affect my school moneys too much.

my sister had something similar happen, but i think they were as eager to get rid of her, as she was to leave, and they rearranged some things, and let her graduate without having to wait for the last class.
Making a fuss is probably the best thing to do.

I like how the class is about retailing. It's a stupid cakewalk class, but it's a required course for a marketing degree, even though her focus is on social networking. They have college classes for that now, just not at THIS college. She has an appointment tomorrow to deal with it, I hope they make some sort of adjustment so we're not out cash we don't really have budgeted for this sort of thing.
