DSOS POS SNAFUBAR
I got all signed up for my classes online, or so I thought, with the devry student online system, or whatever it is, DSOS. I go to make it official, and get errors for all four classes.
Undaunted, I take a paper copy to Academics, where they promise me it'll be all good.
I check online Sunday, and they only have me down for two of the four classes. Hello?
I come in to school this morning, and I receive notice on my computer that I am to go to Academic Counseling Center in Academics to see about my classes, not all of which were approved. No holds on my schedule exist, however.
When I finally get there, I explain the message to the person at the desk, who directs me back to the desk of somebody who's ... not there! I wait in line for someone else who might be able to handle my request, accomplishing many games of Memory on my cellphone.
When I finally get to speak with the person that I am to speak with, it develops that I'm actually listed as BIS in the computer system, which the lady brings up as a curiosity -- she's the BIS counselor, and I've just said I was CIS but maybe she could help, but I show up as BIS. I explain that I transferred at the beginning of this semester. "Ah," she says, and goes and retrieves my file.
The first class with problems is Accounting -- the note left was that I am currently enrolled in Accounting. I guess they didn't bother to take a look at my grades. This is no problem; the lady makes a note of it.
The other class is CIS 270, C++, with the wonderful Ron, aka "Einstein Newton" of the Phoenix area Renfaire.
"You've got to be a CIS major in order to take this class," the lady reads off the comments red-penned on the schedule request form I'd turned in Friday.
"Oh dear," I say.
"We can fix this no problem!" she says, and pens a few notes in, highlighting selected things. "Can I see your ID?"
She puts a validation sticker on the thing and sends me off with blessings after I've signed the proper forms.
...I wonder if Darkside's gotten that far in his quest yet? He got the screen that says he needs to stop by to validate his ID, but has he had time yet today?
