Grr, Now I'm Nervous
because I don't trust URI.
When I went out for dinner with my friend Jen a few weeks ago, we were talking about graduating and how she was nervous because she didn't receive her diploma for *months* afterward. But, she said, she checked her transcript online and it said on *there* that she had graduated.
So I decided to check mine out, not expecting it to say I've graduated yet, but just to see. Before I even did that though, apparently there's a new option on ecampus, Check Your Degree Progress or something like that. I decided to check that out instead.
Remember, my audit from the spring clearly says that I ONLY needed two more 300 level electives, which I theoretically just finished. Now this weird online thing says that I'm missing 2 "english communications" courses, or something like that. WTF? I definitely remember my english requirement being FILLED thank you very much. Unfortunately I don't have my audit slip with me cuz it's in a notebook at the condo; otherwise, I'd be marching to the dean's office TOMORROW and say exactly what I just said: WTF?? (okay, maybe not JUST like that, hehe) Because also remember, I was distinctly told that I was set to graduate in December and that I was put on the list. If they try giving me more crap, holy hell, I will refuse. They WILL let me graduate.
I'm actually not TOO worried though, because I think they changed the gen ed requirements recently, but I should be exempt since they were different when I started. I will probably still go to the Dean's Office on monday though, with my old audit slip and everything, just to make sure one. more. time. I've never known of any other college where it's impossible to graduate. @_@
Since the last time I wrote today, my mood was all over the place again, but mostly not good. I booted myself out of the apartment for awhile though and ended up at Starbucks, though I'm unofficially boycotting them. :p (oh, but Travis, I have a good story I'll tell you about next time on AIM, heh heh heh). That did the trick though and I've been in a decent mood since. I'm probably going to do yoga and watch the Apprentice finale and continue reading Looking Backward for the rest of the night.
til next time. . .

Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that! I didn't even know about that check your progress thing on e campus so I went over there earlier to take a look. I transferred both of my English requirements in from CCRI they were Intro to writing (or something like that), and public speaking. They show up on e campus as requirements filled. I'm sure you have already done yours, but you mentioned that your UT credits transferred strangely, so maybe the URI computers don't know how to place them in your gen ed requirements.
If I were you I'd grab your audit or transfer transcripts and get a human at the dean's office to manually add them in as completed.
And I'll be on AIM later on ;)
