Screwed myself again

[00accord44]

Yes, I graduated high school in June 01 and went to college in August 01 . It is now about to be 2007 and I still haven't graduated. I thought I was about to finally do so following the Spring 07 semester. But no, I have screwed myself yet again. I didn't know that my taking off a semester had resulted in me being reclassified as an Inactive Student, preventing me from being able to register without applying for readmission. Of course the readmission application deadline passed in November.

In an attempt to remedy this, I sent an email to my school's registrar explaining the situation. My main defense was that I had been on internship from March to September and attended classes at the local university (with approval from my dean) from August to December. I figured that maybe it would somehow qualify me to be considered an active student, but I found out today that the credits from the classes I took had not been relayed to my school because I was missing a signature on the credit transfer form



So here is my current list of problems caused primarily by my own idiocy:

• I am not a student at Florida A&M UNiversity
• I cannot register for my final 5 required classes
• I will not graduate Spring 2007 as expected
• I don't know if all the classes I need will be offered in the summer
• I haven't received credit for the classes I took this past semester
• I agreed a month ago to let my friend/temporary roommate ride down to Tallahasse with me... he has no other way
• I am supposed to finally see my lady again after far too long and I don't think I can wait another semester

So at this rate it seems I might graduate in Fall 2012 if I'm lucky. Just thought I'd share in my current misery.

So you took the classes and they wont give you credit? There has to be a resolution for this deffinitly fight this. 4th semester core classes arent usually available in the summer but hopefully you will find some. As far as the lady situation goes shoot me her addrsss I'll keep her warm while you finish up school

But seriously, if I wasn't so unprepared for college bueracracy (sp?) I could have graduated a year ago. This is just one of a long string of episodes where I set myself up for failure at my school, but this time I thought I had graduation firmly in my grasp... prognosis: negative

I'm 99% sure I'll get credit for the classes eventually, but right now the fact that I don't have the proper paperwork is working against me

that's really shitty. good luck remedying that situation

So it seems my decision has been made for me today. I explained all the happenings to my mom and she basically told me (in her momly way) to take my ass back to florida and hope for the best. It seems she enjoyed the 5 years of me living on my own as much as I did.

good to hear that your mom loves you hahaha. well good luck on the situation, normally i'd tell you what i tell everyone in any situation that'll increase the time they spend in university, "don't worry about it, what's one more year." but i completely understand that you'd want to get out of there seeing as how nobody wants to be the next Van Wilder. so i guess good luck is all i can say.

Just another person claiming they were 'screwed by the system' when in reality they hadn't found out how the 'system' worked.

You will now be refered to as Van Wilder. That is all.

Thanks for the keen disection of the situation. I clearly never admitted to being in the wrong

obviously they have administration issues...

[00accord44]

FAMU is okay. There have been a LOT of administrative problems in the last 3 years and slowly they seem to be getting smoothed out. But depending on your major, it can be a worthwhile experience.

Right now I managed to become readmitted and enrolled in 3 of my 5 needed classes. Now I have to hunt down professors to get overrides for the last 2. I also got my graduation application moving, just gotta get some signatures and forms from a few places.
