Registration Pains

I keep being told that I have greater than 50 credit hours towards my registration date at Gaston College, but every time I try to enter the system, I am always given a different date than quoted for registration. Its a weird little bug in the way that Gaston counts their hours. What I keep […]

Lifetime of an AeroGarden
