Well, hello fellow students! This has been a rough week now, hasn't it? Forming a straight long line, either for the teller or assessment windows. Slow paced or unmoving, like last Tuesday (June 2, 2009). You have my sympathies, as I was there too. Only to find out later that day (around 5pm) that the printing of study loads was moved to June 6, 2009. Furthermore, most students are bummed by this "utang" we owe to the university. We have incurred "balances" from the previous semesters that we ought to pay, otherwise we wouldn't be able to claim our study load. So we are forced to form another line, get a priority number, and endlessly wait.. this time at the IRM-ACS. Why? To transfer our previous balances from ISIS to ARIS. I thought it was your job to fix things like these? Not the students! Don't make your problems ours! And another thing, most students DO HAVE previously "unpaid balances", despite the fact of having fully paid.
SIMPLE LOGIC;
1.) We wouldn't be able to take our major exams if we don't pay.
2.) We wouldn't receive our grades either, if we don't pay.
So why do you claim we have these "unpaid balances", or as the tellers call it, "utang".
Now their defense is, there were "additional laboratory fees" that were incurred and posted during the final week! Wow.. where did that come from? So now, we have to actually pay thousands of money caused by "additional laboratory fees". USC, why? You should be consistent with what is posted in our assessment. Those fees or balances we have had were already FULLY PAID during the previous semesters.
What's your deal? Is this some kind of indirect extortion? Because there was "no tuition fee increase" this semester, you would implement this kind of scheme?
Mind you, there are a lot of people from the provinces, most of whom aren't done with their vacation yet. They have to come back and forth just to enroll at your university (if ever it's still labeled as one). Not only that, but we are students. We came here to learn good things, not to be subject to extreme inconvenience caused by your lack of competitiveness.
Students, carolinians, parents, concerned people: let your voices be heard.
P.S. The teller's line reached up to 500 people. And the line wasn't moving at all.
