(Even though Purdue isn't in that situation, sometimes it helps to make it clear what's going on.) <br /><br />From what little we know, it sounds like Marcius' advisers just assumed his Maymester classes would be paid for ... which is another indication that perhaps he is not getting great advice. So when it became clear that they wouldn't be paid for, his advisers wanted to raise a stink, hoping that would work. <br /><br />25 years ago, Purdue was pretty strict about what you could do if your classes hadn't yet been paid for. (Basically, nothing. You pays your bill and then you gets your schedule.) I suspect that has not changed much since then ... which means that Marcius doesn't have much time to get this straightened out if he intends to graduate in May. <br /><br />I'm glad Painter was willing to draw the line openly on this one. It sounds like there's still time for Marcius to change his mind, if he's so inclined ... maybe he should think about it, and maybe not around the people who've been advising him recently.zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.com
