Ok, I realize that the fall semester has just started or will start shortly, and the quarter should start soon for all you weirdos out there
To prevent the boards from being inundated with threads about each person's trouble with the administration/bureacracy/sadistic dean etc, I'm creating this thread for everyone to blow off some steam. So please don't make a new thread to rant about how you've been wronged or how tough this semester is going to be or what a bitch petitioning for graduation is... DO IT HERE! I'll merge all future rant threads for this semester into this one.
requested format: give us the long story (if you want), then sum everything up in one sentence.
I'll start with my own-
The Long Story:
I paid all my dues and busted my ass to get enough credits for senior status, but when it came time to register for classes, I noticed that my date was much later than my other friends who are seniors, and my own sister who just transferred to my school for her senior year. I called the admissions and records department, but had to wait until the following monday since they're apparently closed on sunday.
What I found out was that due to a freaking clerical error by the admissions and records department, I wasn't given credit for an art class I took last semester, and was now three units short of senior status. I wouldn't really give a shit (it was easily rectified) except this meant a registration date two weeks later than it should have been. I got this fixed before the given registration date, but it was still 10 days after it should have been.
Again, I wouldn't really care, but this later registration date meant I have to once again put up with what I spent 4 years busting my ass trying to avoid: trying to add classes I need. I now am in limbo trying to add a typography class that is imperative I take. My major is impacted and I'm in the last class on the old catalog rights system. I've got to take two upper division graphic design classes each semester to graduate this decade. If I don't get into this class I'm essentially set back another semester, because of a FUCKING CLERICAL ERROR. There's other shit but I think that's enough to rant for now.
The Short Story:
Because some monkey in the admissions department didn't do their job, I'm potentially fucked out of a required class.
