OMG I fucking hate MCC … I went down there to register for some classes, it turned out I did so well on my placement tests I qualified for the presidential scholarship. There were 2 catches, I had to be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours(no problem) and I had to take at least one honors course. I tested into honors english so I tried to sign up for that. Only they didn’t have any open honors courses so what I had to do was enroll in a regular english class and have the teacher approve for me to have honors in the class, which basically means I just did more work. I agree and go talk to the teacher of the course, they said they would take care of it but they never did. So I had to come up with $613 to take my classes, and they told me they would give me until Feb 18th. I tried to get money, applied for a loan, tried to save etc … Once I realized I wasn’t going to be able to get it(Saturday), I went down to drop the classes. Apparently I had until Feb 18th to pay for the classes but only until Jan 24th to drop them and get my money back. This seems all well and good, but the nice lady in student services explained to me that even though I didn’t pay for it yet, I would still have to. So now im $613 in the whole to MCC and get no credit for it. I just hope they don’t put down 4 F’s on my transcript … that would just be icing on the cake.
And I dont even want to go into the rest of the bad news I got this weekend … It’s a bit to personal. I hope everyone else had a lovely weekend.
We’re here for you if you need/want it, you’ve been there for us. oh, and on the other topic, my school is still throwing different bills at me (I graduated a year ago!) Most schools are only in it for the money anyway, that’s how this crap happens, sorry to hear about this crap.
Thanks, good to know i’m not the only one getting screwed by the educational system, although its also not good to know heh, I feel your pain.
Sucks.
