Night Elf Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm in tears. What a dummy I am!! It would be too long to explain, but basically I accidentally dropped a course and the system won't let me register for it again. I had to use an override to get in the first time and it must have expired because I'm going to need an override again. AND the university is closed due to snow. This class is highly competitive to get into and there is no way my spot will still be there when, and if, the university opens tomorrow. To justify the costs, I have to take 3 classes and without this one class, I am down to 2. That means I'll have to drop my entire schedule and wait until summer to get back into school. I am absolutely heartbroken and feel utterly stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Maybe you can call early tomorrow and find someone to help you re-register for the course. A human being can override the computer, so calm down today and try to find a sympathetic ear tomorrow. HTH. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There should be an omsbudsperson office at the college that can help with this. You have to move fast on it, though, because of the competitiveness of the class. I'd get over there pronto and do it in person--it's much harder to say no to someone who is pleasant and right in the room with you and who has the right on her side.

Teachin'Mine Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Oh no! I've clicked on the wrong thing with computer registrations too - it's so incredibly frustrating!!! If you're able, I'd go to the registration office first thing in the morning - or whenever they open after the snow closure and plead your case. I hope all works out well. :grouphug: Saying a prayer for you too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Do they have a contact email address for queries or support? I would just try that and hope someone would read it remotely today and be able to help you... If you don't hear from them, then absolutely try in person first thing tomorrow. Good luck!

Oak Knoll Mom Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yes, a kind and sympathetic person can override the computer. When I was in college I had a situation where I needed the dean to override an error for me. The fire marshall had come in over the summer and cut classroom occupancy in 1/2 so they dropped all the juniors out of the class. I was a senior, but my advisor had goofed up and dropped me. I remember the dean saying, "To h#ll with the Fire Marshall" while he signed my form. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Nope, the class spot is filled already. I knew it would be. But still, I'll phone in the morning and have them do the override again just in case a spot opens again. Registration closes friday night. All operations are closed today. Well, on the bright side, I will get a full refund, so it won't be a costly money mistake. That would have been even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
