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

Talk to the professor and the registrar to see if you can somehow override it. They may make an exception since you've done all the work, especially if the professor vouches for you and you show them what you've completed.

Damn.. I would try and fight that. Did your teacher not have a roster though? Or any online assignments to where you had to be enrolled to view them? If so, that could be used as 'evidence' that you've been attending. I hope it all works out OP(:

Then how has the teacher been recording your grades? I understand that some classes can be large, but I can't see something like this not being caught sooner, at least within the first month of the semester.

A lot of college professors wait until midterms or even final grades to put in grades online. It really, really sucks.

Check if your payment of it was accepted by the university. If it was, and they're still not giving you credit for it, get your refund.

I have to say, you kind of deserve this one. I'm a college freshman (just started 3 weeks ago) and for the first week or so, all of my professors reminded us to check out our schedules online and be sure we are actually enrolled in their class for this very reason. Maybe at your school they aren't so adamant about making you check, but even if you didn't have someone reminding you, it probably would have been a good idea to check your schedule at least once during the semester.

To give you guys a follow up, in my uni each class has a limit of students that can enroll online. After that number is reached, it doesn't let students enroll unless the professor overrides it. For whatever reason, this particular class did allow for me and other students to enroll past the limit. Therefore, in my schedule it showed that I was enrolled but not in the official roster. I double checked and was not charged for the class (thankfully). Also, this class did not have an online portal and the professor did not take attendance the first day. He just passed a piece of paper around and asked us to write our names. There was really no way of me finding out I was not properly enrolled.I've spoken to the school to try a solution, the problem is that I was not the only student that this happened to. Their trying to figure out a solution for all us of. The professor does feels bad and is willing to keep us all in his classroom. Just waiting on a response!

glad your making some progress and that the school is trying to fix it.

This needs more likes so it shows up top.

glad they are trying to fix it a lot of colleges would just shrug the shoulders and blow it off

I think the fact that it happened to other students, while shitty for everyone, is not "the problem". It's actually better for you (or any solitary person this might have happened to), because the school can't dick around a large group.

Have they been charging you for that class? If so then you have a better chance of overriding this little snafu.

How does that even happen? Always print a copy of your schedule. ETA: Saw your reply. Hope it all works out!

he was scheduled as far as he knew but the class schedule and the official registrar(used for billing) roster are two different things

I hope you didn't pay for the course in your tuition. Otherwise I'd have them pull that up as enrollment.

I work for the Registrar's Office at a State university. You can get a memo to be added back to the class of the term is over. If not. Submit a late add request then pay and confirm your course. We do it all the time.
