i was registering for classes today for the fall semester, and accidentally clicked the link for my current classes. On the list was a class that i have never been to, and another that i thought i dropped in February. They last day to drop was two weeks ago, so i am guaranteed 2 F's for this semester. Go me :(

i thought at my old school you can change your status to audit up to the last day


2 Week Drop/Add

8 Week - Withdraw

Audit- up to the last day (not 100% sure) but it definitely varies from school to school

maybe talk to your advisor or the teachers themselves and see if they can do anything to help you

Yikes. You know, I had nightmares about exactly this situation for months after graduating. Sometimes I'm still a little amazed I managed to complete all the classes needed to get out of there.

Talk to a councilor about this. The professor could probably vouch for you that you haven't been to any classes

It's been 6 years since I graduated and I still have this nightmare.

Over 10 years and I still have it. Sometimes I decide to start attending the class and the professor yells at me. Usually there are people from my high school classes there, since my University classes were so large I could barely tell they were people instead of a sea of parted asian hair.

I have this one about high school classes for some reason. And it's been over 10 years for me. Never about any of my University classes though. Weird.

so the 2nd class is a bummer but what's the deal with the first, did you sign up for it and just didn't go? Or you just had no idea how it got there?

I just had a dream where I was all panicky about a major English paper due the next morning that I totally forgot about. Fortunately I'm not currently enrolled in any English classes.

My first 2 college didn't go so well because I was young and dumb. I'm not putting in 100% effort now, but I'm doing what's necessary to get high marks.

You can't just call them up and tell them you fat fingered something somewhere? Be serious. Make something up man. Tell them you forgot to take care of those classes or something. DO SOMETHING.

I dropped/transferred out of a lot of classes in college, and I never once had any concerns about it. I checked my status enough to know if I was enrolled in any classes that I wasn't taking, so I never gave it a second thought. That's remarkably poor organization on your part. How on Earth did you enroll in a class and not know about it?

At some schools the tuition is the same for like 12-20 credit hours.

I had those same nightmares once... that I kept forgetting to go to a class.

I can't believe after 16 years you still have it. I've only been out for 4 years. I still get them from time to time.

Ha..I thought I was the only one who got those kinds of dreams. In HS it's an English class where we have a test on a book that I never read--which is more deja vu than anything else though, and for college I realize I either didn't take a class I needed during my last day of school, or never attended a class I had registered for and needed for graduating.
