Trust me, these people aren't Amish. They're EEEEeeevil.

I would really, really like to let them know what I think of that. Maybe I will... on May 9th...

You're working out tomorrow, not tonight, right?

I'm about to leave for choir. I won't be back until early tomorrow evening.

Jen, first thing you need in your ammo against the college is to read through the college catalogue and see if they have the rules on transfer classes spelled out in there. If they do, you are gonna be stuck cause they'll tell you it was in writing and you've got no recourse.

But, if it isn't in the catalogue in writing then you need to take the specific pages with you to the advisors and registrar when you go. Also, if your advisors have ever at any point written out a degree plan for you then you need to have that. If the degree plan is in writing and there is nothing in the catalogue you have a good leg to stand on.

If you don't have any paperwork yourself from the advisors then ask them for copies of the material they have in your file. They may have a copy of something that would work in your favor, you never know. Here, we are required to keep files on all our students and have a degree or certificate plan for each student in their files.

The bad thing that I have dealt with since I've been here is that prior to my coming to work here the previous instructor wasn't competant in the job. He actually signed students up for classes just to fill classes knowing those classes wouldn't count toward graduation but telling them they would get credit. I've had a lot of fallout from angry students because of that. Unfortunately, not every individual in these positions has the integrity to do the right things for students. I am hoping that's not what you've had with these advisors.

Lemme know what you find in your catalogue and I'll see if I can't try to come up with some other suggestions.

JenB; well that is a pain in the *ss. Amazing that all these years, the colleges still manage to mess up like they did in the 'first age'.

You've been given some good advice, assemble a good case and present it in a calm rational manner. As tempting as it may be to 'ring their chimes' after wards, again the advice is not too. You'll be surprised how often you'll need certified transcripts in your professional career. You don't need someome messing with them (and they can easier now than 'way back when')

Besides you can fun in later years, slowly feeding the 'alumni letters' through a paper shredder. :-)
