i looked online to see if umuc received my faxed form so work pays for my tuition… turns out that they did, but they only applied payment for two of my three classes, saying that they still need payment of $735 ($690 tuition + $45 fees, and i’m only liable to pay the fees). that’s kind of weird considering all three classes were on the same form, so who knows why they still think they need payment for one more class?

anyway, so then i went to study for my final exam for my history class. the syllabus for my history class says that the final exam is administered between december 10 – 18. since today is only december 9, you’d think that i’d be fine, right?

turns out that the exam schedule for umuc is from december 7 through december 13. i thought i had registered to take my exam online, and i sorta did… online, but on campus in a proctored setting. the best part is when i was scheduled to do this: december 8 from 2 to 5 pm. YESTERDAY.

cue “CRAP” mode. i figured i’d have to email my professor and schedule a make up exam and that’d cost $60 and i’d have to jump through all sorts of hoops. my parents asked me tonight at dinner how school was going and i could only groan and tell them about this startling revelation.

after some poking around i found out that the $60 fee and the make up exam registration are only required if i want to take an exam at a time outside of the final exam week. i also found out that if you missed your exam time then you can take it at the same location at any other time during the final exam week, and if you can’t take it at your requested location at some other time during exam week, then you can take it at any of the available times at the adelphi or college park locations.

lucky for me there’s one last college park time period available, 7 to 10 pm tomorrow night. now i just need to cram my ass off to prepare for the exam! 😛
