Today, I applied for college graduation. Turns out my advisor screwed me over and now I'm 1 credit hour short of getting my degree. Now I have to wait another semester and pay $3,500 just to take a one hour class on Bowling so that I can graduate. FML

That sounds rather fake. 3,500$ for Bowling? Why would you even need a class on Bowling for college? Now that the serious part is out of the way... With only one class I guess you'll have a lot of SPARES. :P Maybe you should protest it and start a student STRIKE. :P Well, looks like that's another 3, 500$ in the GUTTER! :D

wow. i wouldnt do that. i would tell them its just an hour credit and try to work it out. try to talk to the people and get help. but that sucks.

you 100% completely deserved it. if you would have taken responsibility for your education and payed attention to your graduation requirements (which are provided to EVERY student), you wouldn't have this problem. so i say again, you COMPLETELY deserved it and at least you get to learn with a 3500 bowling class!

Hey, find out if you can take it as an extension course. Costs way less.

I had to take a course over and only had to pay for the course...and anything that has to do with bowling is not worth another 3500.

Bowling?? Really?? That's so far fetched.

Totally your fault for not keeping tabs on your own education. You have one course of study and are one person; your advisor has dozens of students! Ditto to #115; you are provided with your graduation requirements!

that sucks. happened to me too. my advisor fcked up my credit count. i was 2 credits short and had to take one more class in the fall to grad

Welcome to adulthood. It is your responsibility to know what you have to take and how many credits you need to graduate. Colleges provide copies of degree plans for this purpose. In other words, quit whining, you should have double checked your credit count and not depended on someone else to do it for you.

that sucks. but hey if it's just one class you can raise your gpa and become a better bowler at the same time. relax. hav fun with it before you ge out in the real world.

Councilors can screw you over. They can tell you that a certain course satisfies your last remaining major requirement, you take that course based on that, then you apply to graduate and they don't approve your degree audit. Ask me how I know. My degree says Summer '09 instead of all my friends who say Spring '09
