Now I’m Pissed With Advising

So, the TAC (Transfer and Advising Center) refuses to give me my registration PIN because I need to see my advisor in my department. I finally got communication with my advisor today, but my advisor told me that she had not been given my PIN, that it was assigned to TAC. Lucky for my, I […]

Annoyed with Advising

I am at the moment frustrated and annoyed with the advising process. I sent an email 2 weeks ago to the department chair of Psychology, and have yet to receive a response. I declared my major, and it took about a week and a half to get that approved, but once that happened, I was […]

Hot and Yeasty

I have never really tried making breads before recently, I’ve always been told that making bread is hard, and that it is difficult to get them right. I have since discovered that while my mother does not seem to posses the bread making […]

My Day: October 31, 2008

What I did today was nothing out of the ordinary, I spent some time looking over academic stuff, trying to prepare for the following semester, only to realize that to this point I have done everything I can. I can’t go any further unless my advisor replies to me or returns my call and gives […]

Surrogate Registrar

“The Office of the Registrar cannot issue alternate pins  nor will we serve as surrogate advisors. “ The office of the registrar will not serve as surrogate advisors? Why not? The registrar’s office will tell students what courses they CAN’T take (pre-reqs,  status, etc), and the registrar will tell students what courses they SHOULD HAVE […]
