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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was kicked out of college for not attending a class I wasn't ever enrolled in. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. 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 found out that my professor dropped me from class because I missed a Zoom meeting. The only class I needed to graduate. Why did I miss the meeting? Because I was in labor for 32 hours. FML
Today, I waited two hours in line at college to select my classes. I finally got to the desk, only to be told I have to apply online before I can show up in person. FML
Today, using the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a new laptop for school. When I went online to register for classes, I found that all the online classes were full and remaining classes didn't qualify for my major. 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, my college English teacher told me if I wanted an explanation for my grade I would have to schedule a conference to come to her office. It's an online class. I took an online class because I can't come in. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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!

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.

That's sucks

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

Well played!

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.
