as i have been admitted to college for the 2014 start of year intake i was on campus doing the last of the paperwork i needed in the student centre when i heard the following:
S: Student
AA: Academic adviser
S: the system isn't letting me register for graduation. there's something wrong
AA: Ok give me a moment and i'll make sure you are eligible to graduate (checks computer). ok so you only have 200 credit points. you need 240 to graduate.
S: but I've been here 3 years. it's a 3 year degree
AA: Yes if you pass every unit it takes 3 years. you have failed some units and you need to repeat them before you can graduate
S: but it's been 3 years
AA: yes and as i said you have not passed all your units. you need another 40 credit points.
at this stage i had finished filling out my paperwork, but the last thing i heard when i left... "but it's been 3 years"
