Feeling frustrated with TESU

[Dorothy44]

I had decided a few months ago to go ahead and graduate with my ASBA, while trying to complete the BSBA in HR in the allotted 12 months afterwards. I paid all the fees and graduated with the ASBA on 9/11. However, now student support is telling me I am an 'inactive student'... even though I still have the BSBA evaluation when I log in, and I had emailed with them several times confirming I would still be working on my bachelors and wanted to be sure I would remain under my current catalog. I emailed them to ask why I was listed as inactive and they basically brushed me off and told me to ask Student Financial Services. Why would i need to ask them? I paid everything I needed to pay already...

I am so weary of dealing with things like this and having to fight for every little detail. I have always felt like I could never fully trust what TESU advisors had to say, as they often contradicted each other. And now here we are again. I was told I would stay enrolled even after I graduated with the ASBA, but clearly I am not.

I would understand this if it was a normal thing and accept it, if I had not specifically been told I would remain enrolled and not have to do anything further as long as I finished my classes and applied for graduation for my BSBA on time.... uggghhhh

I would forward one of the emails to TESU again, and ask what is going on?  Keep calling or writing until you get the right person.  You know the squeaky wheel gets the grease type thing.  They might want you to reapply though since typically when people graduate they are done??  It could also mean that inactive just means you are not signed up for a course?  Can  you still sign up for a course if you try?

For what it is worth, I agree with you a bit on the advisors.  Recently, I had a course removed from my degree plan after I called with an unrelated question.  I asked why, and the response was, "Better now then later?"  Some of the advisors are not friendly.  I also had one advisor though that gave me her personal phone # and email.  She said call her any time I need anything, and she is glad to help.  She gave me one piece of wrong info in an introductory meeting, but I found her so helpful.  So just keep trying!
