loriam Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 so i haven't been lollygagging on the internets here nor there for the past, idk, forever because i've been a SUPER AWESOME student. last quarter i finished with a 3.5 gpa and i'm still going strong. we're halfway through fall quarter right now. midterms are coming up. i come home from volunteering at the food bank (i'm a good effing person) and i check my email. the school admissions office has sent me an email informing me that i've been dropped from 3 of my 4 classes for non-payment. my instructors of those dropped classes have emailed me expressing their concern. and i look through my inbox and check my voicemails for a warning message. and there is none. just the one message saying, "just so you know, we dropped your arse today..." of course all offices are closed at this point so i can't call admissions, my advisor, or the va offices. when the quarter started, i turned in all the paperwork and even got a certification letter from the va. i have my schedule printed out that showed that my classes cost me nothing because they're paid for! T-T i've been studying and working hard all quarter and now i might not even get grades... so i cried. like a baby. it's sooo frustrating putting your all into something with nothing to show. *exhale* i'm sorry. i'm done now. and for those of you who don't know, T-T is a crying face.

sutsibe Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Take a deep breath, and know that colleges exist to 1) make money, and 2) screw up honest students' lives! Then tomorrow, with paperwork and certification letter from the VA, go in to your admissions office and clear it up! Sounds like it's their screw up, and they (if they're anything like the small university I've been attending) are pros at doing that! Good luck, and let us know how it went!

aronoiiel Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 :grouphug:I agree with Gigi first and foremost deep breathe. I've never had the privilege of going to college but the number one consistent in this life (and country for that matter) is that hard work usually pays off AFTER you fix some idiots mistakes I can understand the frustration and near tears though I'd be hoppin mad leaving some rather unpleasant voice mails lol so kudos to you keeping it down on the level Let us know when you get it cleared up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Jones Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Deep breath and go in and sort it something similar happened to my son and it was their mistake two students with the same name and they'd sent the letter to the wrong one :/ let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hope all goes well. It's probably a mix up, and studying is stressful enough without having to go through this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronoiiel Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 YAY! glad everything worked out well for you. Something similar happened at work lol they fired someone on accident by mistyping his employee number; suffice it to say he called to ask why he didn't work for two weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 "Oops!" indeed!! Since I'm also a vet, my money was on the VA having screwed up something but it sounds like the colleges can do as good a job as the VA can!! Good on you for going back to school and you can do better than 3.5 - vets, excel at everything!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriam Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 i think the va and the college take turns at getting my goat. every quarter since i've been back to school there has been some problem with something. it does make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that there are people who have shared my concerns in this situation and have had similar experiences. it makes me feel less alone on the whole thing. thank you guys so much for your support. and YES, Al Jones, this quarter i'm trying for a 4.0 to raise my gpa. i haven't missed an assignment or classes at all (i've been late a few times but tardies don't count!!!) and i haven't scored less than 95% on all my chapter tests and quizzes for all of my classes. excelling at self-discipline and motivation right here!!!
