I can believe this. I had to go an extra year because the advisors were idiots. But I think the college should be able to work something out w/ you if it's just one class.

Don't you know that you're never supposed to blindly trust your advisors? They're notorious for screwing over their advisees. I sometimes wonder if it's not a conspiracy to weed out the idiots in a program. Oops, guess it worked. YDI.

Hey - who cares! You're still going to be a college graduate. Look to the bright side of things, you pessimistic ****.

haha well, why the hell are you on FML if you aren't here to read about people being pessimistic?

Actually sometimes advisors DO register you for classes. At my university, your advisor has to sign off and approve everything before you register for a class.

YDI for not managing your own schedule.

summer school you ******* dipshit! do you even deserve to graduate?!

That's why you keep track of a course plan YOURSELF. YDI.

All the people who are saying YDI have obviously never been in college. I've had advisers give me wildly wrong information and, in some colleges at least, they are the ONLY way to get information. In my previous college, you had to see an adviser to to do ANYTHING and if they did something wrong, you would have no way of knowing until you saw another one who thought enough to notice the mistake. I was in the same situation. I saw countless advisers over the years, regularly checked the school's woefully outdated records online, and kept meticulous track of my credits and requirements. When I went to get my graduation check, the adviser I saw informed me that everyone else had been wrong (or just lazy) and I was short a requirement. FYL, OP, FYL.

At least it's a fun class and virtually impossible to fail. :]
