Bad news, Everybody!

Yep, that's me... The old Fearmonger trying to send everyone into a panic over an innocuous comment... <eyeroll>

I've requested clarification on this from my advisor as far when the cutoff might be, and if and when there is going to be an official announcement to this effect.

Heck I'd love for this information that I've shared to be incorrectly, but apparently, its been verified by at least one other person who talked with their advisor, so far. Shrug.

Hmmm...I never suggested you were. I'm speaking directly to the people who are very upset about this announcement when we have no idea if the person that told you was telling the truth or not. I never suggested you were fearmongering in any way, shape, or form. :confused:

Many times companies discuss things like making changes to an existing plan and employess assume that means the changes are forthcoming. Those changes may or may not ever occur. I'm only suggesting to those that are worried to contact their advisors and all the way up the food chain if necessary to hopefully get a better understanding of the upcoming changes (if they occur).

I think you may have jumped the gun on my post but you completely took it the wrong way.

:EDIT:
I wanted to add an anecdotal example of what I'm referring to. TESC/ALEKS (Beginners Algebra)---search for this and look at the thread where several different advisors said completely different things regarding the awarding of credit. People (including me) were freaking out because it potentially messed up our degree plans. It ended up being resolved with a few Deans getting involved. My point again is for people to cofirm up the chain because sometimes advisors are giving canned responses.
