More GWU hassle
September 03, 2006 ( grad )
Registering for fragging courses shouldn't be the most stressful part of grad school!
The saga continues. So, you might remember that I was somewhat forcibly removed from a Dev Econ class I really wanted to take, because I'm not in the Elliott School's Dev Studies program, I'm in the Elliott School tech policy program. It's not like it's the same school or anything.
As the paperwork for my independent study has not gotten through the digestive system of GWU's paper-loving bureacracy, this means I'm registered for all of 1 course. This has caused me a few difficulties since.
First, GWU hasn't listed me as enrolled AT ALL with my lending bank, so they sent me a bill. They were surprisingly helpful on the phone and mailed me a form to take to GWU to get my still-enrolled, damnit! deferment. That's a task for this coming week. Even then, I'm not enrolled full-time (yet), so I'm not sure what insanities this will cause with their computer systems.
Second, I get a letter Saturday postmarked and written on Sept 1st regarding my loan amount which was disbursed on Aug 30 to GWU. They can't give it to me because I'm not in their computer systems yet as being registered from at least 6 course credit hours (see above), and they are required to send it back to the Feds within 3 business days if that's not resolved. I'm really hoping that their computer systems recognize that Monday is not a business day. Nice of them to take 2 of those 3 business days to decide to mail me a letter - if it'd been a Monday, I would've received the letter when I got home after 5pm on the 3rd business day. It's the 21st goddamned century. Send me a heads-up email, or, for matters of thousands of dollars in student loans, maybe try calling me? I'm asking too much for a place I'm giving nearly $3k/credit hour in tuition to, plus a $750/semester student fee, I guess.
Grrr.
