So as many of you know I'm a college student. I recently transferred schools leaving a medical training program behind to pursue a biotechnology degree with a concentration in food science. This school is very new so I expected a few hiccups using the VA benefits I have.
The issues started with orientation. I had shit to do on the day the surprise orientation date. Supposedly the registrar would have had my schedule worked out at orientation had I attended. Instead she was still not done working on my credit transfer evaluation. The issue with my transfer eval was a leadership/management class that could have transferred from the Community College of the Airforce. Well the initial story I got from her was how helpful the military was being repeatedly checking to see if she got the info she was seeking. Then when I kept calling and emailing her for a schedule the story changed. "They never answered the phone" and so forth I was told. Weird considering how helpful they were being a few weeks before. So I ended up not getting the transfer credit due to what I suspect is her laziness.
Then on Aug 24th I contacted this registrar to see if she had submitted my VA enrollment form. "Not yet but it will be today or tomorrow that I get it done" she tells me. Fast forward to today. I called the VA to check on whether my form was ever submitted. It has not happened. So I call and she tells me "the billing office sent me something about vocational rehab so I never submitted anything". Now mind you I sat in front of her and specifically told her that I am using Chapter 33 (code for benefits that is certainly not vocational rehab) at least four times and watched her write it down. So instead of asking me about the discrepancy she did absolutely nothing.
Now I'm in the process of getting set up to do a VA Work Study. Where I, as a student, perform various duties for the VA and other veteran students. I get paid by the VA tax free and hopefully by doing this I will be able to circumvent the inept registrar at the school. If I cannot circumvent I will at least have system access to keep up on her and make sure she does her job, for which I'm sure she's very overpaid.
She's screwing with the wrong person. I'm a devious asshole that will find ways to make coworkers and supervisors aware of her inadequacy. If this isn't taken care of today her boss is going to be contacted.:cursing:
