Simply remind them that YOU paid THEM for an education and if THYE want YOU to do work to obtain a degree then THEY need to pay YOU for those hours worked.
Just because you’re in a school doesn’t mean that asnine rules and regulations take effect.
You are their boss!
“You are their boss!”
Yes, in a sense, and I “remind” them of my control over my own pocketbook by dropping classes. The problem is, there isn’t very much of a free market in education, even if you go the private route. The best most people can do is attend or not attend, shirk their duties if they do attend, or generally grumble and whine and hurt class morale until Teach’ gives up.
Actually, I am a lowly adjunct who needs the money to help with my retirement. I do not have a leg to stand on . . . .

Yeah, that’s gonna work.
The only question is whether you can keep your dignity when they laugh you out of the place.
