kieren1234 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well here is how it started: Was due to start uni Three weeks ago but with starting a new job and going on holiday i wasnt able to attend. I went into the University and spoke with the finance department about my student finance etc. I advised The university that i would be starting on 22nd October (today) and would this be ok. They said that will be fine. I then said, whilst im here do you want me to enrol on the course and choose the modules etc to which they replied, "you may aswel do that when you get back". So i get up bright an early this morning (my 21st Birthday) and catch a train into university. Go along to my first seminar and then at lunch i went to the Business department to enrol. THEN the lady tell me it is no too late and i must wait untill next year to do my Degree!!!!! I trie everything from compromising to complaing but they simply wont let me enrol this year. So great f*****g birthday this is panning out to be!! Rant over........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sorry about that dude! Have you tried speaking to the admissions dept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Why rant about it?? why not just go and pick a call centre to work just now and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Jesus, thats really bad. That is messing you about big time and surley they cant get away with it. But if you enroled already when you went to explain then there must be some proof of it. Dont worry too much though. Im sure you'll be able to sort something out. There will be someone within the university you can talk to who should be able to help you out. This can really cause problems for you and surely they will be able to see you right.

jim_supra Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sorry to hear that Kieren, what a nightmare. I would go to see the people you originally spoke to and try to sort the mix-up through them. It sounds like the person in the business department is a total jobsworth.

Just thought i would get it off my chest thats all, is that a problem?? I already have a part time job so i am going full time to clear my debts and then can back to uni next year with a fresh mind, debt free.

All the timetables are messed up and seems they have no idea on what they are doing. I have tried everything and have been speaking to people all afternoon trying to sort it but they are sticking to what they said. When i went the first time 3 weeks ago, i didnt enrol because they said its best to just do it all after the holiday. I suppose it is a blessing is disguise in a way as now i dont have to worry about money and can go full time to clear my debt. Oh well, theres always next year, but it wont be Sheffiel Hallam i go to thats for sure!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Just thought i would get it off my chest thats all, is that a problem?? Re read what I said. It is widely known (jokey) that most people that study at Uni end up in a call centre. Touchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
