Good thing you're paying all sorts of money to not have your head in the game and keep track of this stuff better!

Even in the digital age you'll ALWAYS get a schedule mailed to you. Not that hard to check the mail every couple of days.

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.

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

I am over 40 and I still have this nightmare.

I'm over 60, never went to school, and never learned to read and I still have this nightmare.

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.

My sister actually got down to the last semester of college and was short a math class. Her Dean waived it and she graduated on time.

Yeah well, my dead grandfather still has this nightmare.

It's been 5 years since college for me. I've been having those same nightmares more recently because my new job is at a university.

Anyway, talking to your registrar, dean or advisor is certainly....err...advised.

I had a nightmare that I was enrolled in a class and I didn't know that I was. At the end of the semester, I got an F in the course and my GPA bombed. Sounds like a lot of people have that one. School isn't everything.

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

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?

it was originally on my lineup of classes for the semester, but i revised my schedule pretty heavily after the first week of classes, and forgot to get rid of it. Class in question is calc 3. The other class i thought i dropped in February is applied stats.

I'm going to talk to my adviser tomorrow afternoon. I'm also re-enrolled in both class for next semester.

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

i didn't realize that there are schools that don't work like this. Here everything past 12 credits is free.

noone mails schedules anymore, and they haven't since before i started school (4 years ago). They only way to check your schedule is to log on to the campuses blatantly broken software system and try to find it. (not easy)

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.

I occasionally have them for high school and university, and I graduated from university in 1991. My HS ones usually revolve around forgetting my locker location or combination, or them contacting me after all these years (graduated in '86) telling me that I have to make up classes because I didn't really graduate. University nightmares were typically as described in the OP. I'd realize it one day before the final, though, and would be frantically trying to learn a whole quarter's material at once. Interestingly, it is often calculus for me too.

I had a nightmare come true in college, too. I wrote down my Genetics final exam time wrong and realized it an hour after it was over. I RAN to the prof's office (across campus), told him what happened, and started bawling, so he broke down and found a grad student to babysit me while I took the exam. At least I stopped having *that* nightmare after that.

I have to pay per course. If I'm taking 5, I pay for 5.

Yup, I've never had a schedule mailed to me. The school never mails anything to me.

My school has the option to turn of paper mail to save the earth or whatever. I opted for this because I don't get anything useful from them in the mail. Yet whenever I have any schedule changes they mail me both my new schedule and my new bill.

I'm dead, my corpse was recently dug up and repeatedly run over by a front loader fiendishly operated by a methamphetamine fueled non-union cemetary worker with a decidedly anti-social personality, and I not only never went to school but never had any concept of school or even human speech because I was raised by and lived my entire life with a small pack of shy yet non-descript rodents deep in a fetid garbage dump on the outskirts of Quito, Ecuador (or so says Google Earth) and yet I, too, still have this same nightmare!

Weird, huh?

Shens, who uses non-union cemetary workers?

 

[skace]

I'll get the nightmare where I'm failing out of college all over again only to wake up and be relieved that I am no longer in college (because I failed out). It hits you twice....

 

[SunnyD]

I get that nightmare every time I look at my student loan payment.
