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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 was kicked out of college for not attending a class I wasn't ever enrolled in. FML
Today, because I had to leave the country without notice and didn't have reception to notify my college, I have been irreversibly dropped from all my classes without a refund and will have to reapply for January. 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, 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, I fucked up my schedule on my final semester so bad I need to take a course from a community college at the same time I'm doing a full-time schedule at my university. This doesn't sound bad, but then the only course I could get into is at the same time as one of my university courses. I can't graduate otherwise. FML
Today, I found out I can't enroll in a course I need for my degree. I don't have the right prerequisites. They weren't posted anywhere. The applications for similar courses I could've taken instead have closed last week. I lost a year and a fuckton of money because I waited for the last minute, and now I can't get in. 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, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

can they just do that?? Can't you complain / explain the situation?

Go talk to your course coordinator and explain the situation, it's not the end of the world. On the bright side, you can take some time to travel.

As a Graduate Assistant I know what the admin point of view on situations like this. From where they stand [and this is true 94+% of schools], it is the students responsibility to maintain a current schedule of the classes enrolled in at all times. In other words - - You are the mouse in our maze, if we change the path, you need to follow those changes otherwise you will not go anywhere, and it is not our fault. Sad but true, they got your money to play in their game by their rules

Confront them about it. If they refuse to do anything about it, sue them or something.

Lumberzack, I don't really care about the original comment-- a simple mistake, big deal. However, if you're on an iPhone, you do have access to that info. You just have to go to the full FML site in Safari, rather than using the FML app or their mobile site. Just FYI. Don't know about other phones, though.

So you went 4 weeks and didn't realize you were in the wrong course? I call BS on you. Even if this is true it's your fault for not finding the mistake in the first place. I'm glad you are suspended and hope you fail college for being an idiot.

This could not have happened without information being provided to the student, most likely in the form of email. I work at a University and am fed up with students blaming the staff for their own lack of interest in their accounts, registration, and programs. Grow up and take responsibility!

Well if it took you 4 weeks to figure out that you have been taking the wrong classes it's probably for the better that you take some time off college.

Some teachers don't take roll. That's why it's very important to check your schedule and classroom numbers over and over again just to be certain during the first week. Don't worry OP you're not the only one to make this kind of mistake.

Sue the school. They apparently make mistakes far too often. Any normal judge will say you are right and they are wrong-you might get monetary compensation.
