I love my uni

Post by weemadando »

Sorting through papers in my room the other day I suddenly came to the shocking realisation that I hadn't lodged my re-enrolment form.

Hmmmm... It was all nicely filled out an signed, but unfortunately it wasn't with student admin. And its a month after the due date.

Late forms attract a 100 dollar fine. As such I decided to do what I do every time I face a fine from the uni. Be a conniving little git. I'm going to try and convince Student Admin that I handed in my form, but they lost it. Not a rare occurance in the slightest.

I go into Student Admin and ask for a variation of enrolment form, but am told that until my enrolment approval goes out I can't do that. Enrolment approval comes out with your exam results. I haven't paid my S&A fees for the year and results aren't out for a while, so I think, hmm... I need another plan.

I decide to visit the friendly arts faculty officer. I sit down with them to "make sure that my enrolment is OK so I can graduate June next year." After a bit of messing around they say: "Ummm, your 2003 enrolment isn't showing up." Cue Leslie Nielson double take and a "WHAT?" 10 minutes and several phone calls later they are telling me that Student Admin is constantly losing forms (tell me something I don't know) and mine was probably lost. They then say that if it doesn't turn up they'll redo it all for me, no fees, no charges and no hidden clauses.

I love being an arsehole. It saves me money.

First of all, I've done the same thing myself, so it can't be THAT evil, since I'M not that evil. Right? *angelic smile* :wink: *mew*

Second of all, universities are making enough money off of other things. They can suck that sort of thing up every once in a while. I don't hate UTAS because it holds lots of good memories for me, but I know that I simply LOVE screwing TU out of money whenever I can. All the times they--yes, anyway. I understand. Not that you were looking for understand, but I understand anyway.
