stupiddumbugly bureaucratic BS
So, you know that really shitty feeling when you stay up really late and wake up all groggy and you're laying in bed with your laptop and the first thing you read on the internet is that your university has decided that you're not eligible to graduate this year? That "should I cry or vomit" feeling?
Or am I the only one who got that this morning?
There is no fucking way I'm not eligible to graduate. I planned this out, I took the right courses, I checked everything off on the sheets, I don't have outstanding fees, I made sure my transfer credits were accepted and YOU KNOW THAT'S THE PROBLEM because if there's anything universities like to mess up, it's transfer credits! What, your Natural Science requirement that we told you you don't have to do? We forgot to write that down.
I don't actually know that that's the problem yet, but I'm 90% sure, because I can't think of any other possibilities. Supposedly I'm getting a letter in the mail explaining why exactly I'm in the top 5% of students at York and yet won't be getting a diploma. And why not? It's 2 months until convocation, I can spend my time waiting for the postal service (which delivered my February 2nd paycheque YESTERDAY), that's okay! I don't mind! I'm not the kind of person who worries about this sort of thing! My week isn't already incredibly stressful!
Argh!

That is AWFUL!!
I would be so angry and not to sure what to do with myself. I haven't recieved any confirmation that I am graduating, yet none to tell me otherwise.
I hope they figure it out soon though!!
Can you take a summer course and have a fall convocation?
stupid administration!
Sanda, I don't know! I don't even know if the number of credits is the problem! I'm hoping that they're just going to say, "oh you never took [this thing that we gave you a transfer credit for]" and I can bring in statements that they sent me before that said that I didn't have to take them, and that will be that. (Did you get all that? holy run-on sentence, batman!)
And I will SHOUT AT THEM! And I will say, "Don't make me sic the head of Linguistics on you! She loves me!"
And they will say, "Oh! we're sorry! In fact, you're so wonderful that we should have given you a bursary this year, so here is some free money!"
Or something like that.
*hugs*
So sorry to hear that the bureaucracy has attacked -- the BASTARDS!!! I hope it's nothing serious and can just be explained away.
Don't worry, I'm sure it will all work out in the end. Universities are notorious for fucking up their documentation... I'm sure they just missed a checkbox somewhere.
Get ready for chocolate and cheese m'dear ;) Hopefully those will help cheer you up a bit!
Yeah, they suck!
bureaucratic conspiracies abound. i say, "fight!"
