Spring Enrollment

After this semester, I have one semester left until I graduate. There are only 4 classes that I need to take and only 1 class of each offered Spring semester. On Monday, Spring enrollment started with seniors. I thought I could enroll without any trouble. WRONG! It seems that our wonderful computer technology at campus housing conveniently forgot to charge me for fall semester in August when the rest of my charges were put on so they charged me at the end of October...OVER $2,000!!! This put a hold on my account, which basically meant I could not enroll until it was paid off.

Naturally, you can understand my frustration. These classes will fill up quickly because there is only one of each offered next semester and if you don't meet the requirements, you can't graduate. I went to housing, along with my mother, and we tried to get it figured out. It appears that the computer put it on my bill in August but forgot to take it out of my financial aid, scholarships and loans. So I thought it had been paid for but it was a computer error. I didn't have a reason to look at my account through WSU and I never received a notice telling me I had a hold so I had no idea I couldn't enroll.

In the end, because it was their mistake, housing took the hold off so I could enroll. I now have all the classes I need to graduate in May but still a bit aggravated that it happened in the first place. I have to come up with an extra $2,000 before next semester or the hold will be put back on there.

Oh, and my Spanish test was not great but it wasn't horrible either. I did better on this one then I did on the last two. Only one test left...the final! I can't wait!
