Miscellaneous: Today, after wondering why I didn't receive a grade for a summer...

Today, after wondering why I didn't receive a grade for a summer course I took in 2007, I realized that I gave the professor the wrong student ID number. Someone else received credit. I've been waiting on this grade for 8 months in order to graduate. FML

Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML

Today, my university is capable of sending me two diplomas in short succession due to a clerical error, but can't recognize that I've graduated and won't be taking classes with them in the fall. FML

Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML

Today, I found out that I was never actually enrolled in the class I've been attending all semester. I guess that explains why I only got $400 dollars in student aid, not the 1,200 they said I'd get. FML

Today, I was notified that I've been going to the wrong courses for 4 weeks. A friend of mine was the only person to tell me that the administration had taken the privilege to change my courses. I have now failed 5 courses due to absences and have been suspended from college for 6 months. FML

Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML

Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML

Science, bitch!

Today, I'm in a new curriculum and I was doing science work online, when a teacher told me I had been doing Grade 7 science this whole semester, all because some stand-in teacher assigned me the wrong thing at the beginning of the year. Time to catch up a whole six months of work. FML.

Goddam red tape

Today, I found out that the degree I'd assumed I had for the last 10 years was invalid due to a clerical error. Surely it'd be an easy fix? Nope. Both the degree structure and the admin system have been entirely changed between now and then. I'd have to study for two more years to validate it. FML

Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML

It took you 3 years to realise this? Don't worry, I doubt your grade is very good.

I agree, if it had been only a week or two after grades were supposed to be posted and I didn't see mine, I would have emailed the teacher or called the school to see what was going on. it's been two and a half years...Ydi

at least you didn't do a whole semester just to find out you weren't even registered for that subject.

I'm sorry, but 8 months to wait to even CHECK if something was wrong? If you didn't get a grade when grades were supposed to go out, something was wrong. Were you even thinking about what exactly you were writing when posting this? Because it has YDI written all over it, either that or this is total BS.

I wish I could comment on this, but as I'm English, I don't think my input would be entirely helpful since the educational system is different I would have enquired about it after not getting the marks for it after a few months, I wouldn't wait around. In England, you finish school at 16 but can go on til you are 18, which is what I'm doing, and if I didn't get marks for extra curricular activities, I'd be pissed.

They've changed it now. Anyone in year 9 or below in school now has to continue until they're 18 unless they get a job or an apprenticeship. (sp?) I'm in my AS Year at the moment, so it doesn't affect me.

You either have a really crap school and professor, or this is a lie. As someone who works in a university, if a student ID number does not match the student's name, we call the student to verify the number. We would never make changes to a student's file if the ID number we were given did not match the name we were given. Surely your professor should have known your name??
