Miscellaneous: Today, after wondering why I didn't receive a grade for a summer...

Today, after wondering why I didn't receive a grade for a summer course I took in 2007, I realized that I gave the professor the wrong student ID number. Someone else received credit. I've been waiting on this grade for 8 months in order to graduate. FML

Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML

Today, my university is capable of sending me two diplomas in short succession due to a clerical error, but can't recognize that I've graduated and won't be taking classes with them in the fall. FML

Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML

Today, I found out that I was never actually enrolled in the class I've been attending all semester. I guess that explains why I only got $400 dollars in student aid, not the 1,200 they said I'd get. FML

Today, I was notified that I've been going to the wrong courses for 4 weeks. A friend of mine was the only person to tell me that the administration had taken the privilege to change my courses. I have now failed 5 courses due to absences and have been suspended from college for 6 months. FML

Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML

Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML

Today, I found out that the degree I'd assumed I had for the last 10 years was invalid due to a clerical error. Surely it'd be an easy fix? Nope. Both the degree structure and the admin system have been entirely changed between now and then. I'd have to study for two more years to validate it. FML

Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML

Today, I applied for college graduation. Turns out my advisor screwed me over and now I'm 1 credit hour short of getting my degree. Now I have to wait another semester and pay $3,500 just to take a one hour class on Bowling so that I can graduate. FML

It took you 3 years to realise this? Don't worry, I doubt your grade is very good.

I agree, if it had been only a week or two after grades were supposed to be posted and I didn't see mine, I would have emailed the teacher or called the school to see what was going on. it's been two and a half years...Ydi

YDI for waiting 8 months. But why would you have to tell your professor your ID number? Wouldn't he already have it from the registrar's office?

faaaaake. Students don't give professors their ID numbers. The ID numbers are stored in the school's computer system, and the professor receives a roster of the students in the class for whom to assign grades. It's been this way for decades, even when we used to get paper printouts of the rosters.

This is soooooo fake. What world do you think we live in? Nobody gives the professor the student ID. It's in the system next to your name when you register. And don't you highschoolers defend the OP by saying the professor probably asked for it. It doesn't work like that. YDI big time for making up craps.

It is 2010. 8 months ago would have been 2009. If your gonna make something up, at least try to make it sound true.
