USC has the worst enrollment system. They had changed the enrollment process this year thinking that it would make the enrollment easier but hell no! It didn't and much worst, it had caused many conflicts. In the new enrollment process they required us to secure a folder and insert there the registration form with the schedule of the subjects to be taken and a paper for alternative subjects if the subjects are being closed, and also 2 prospectus with our grades on every subject that we had taken. Now the problem is, we students weren't given any notice of the sudden change of the enrollment process, It had only been announced a few weeks before enrollment through face book. I think that this is such an improper thing to do because as a school they should have announced to the students way before the 2nd semester ended. Second mistake, the grades in the prospectus. How will we be able get our grades when they don't mail our grades on time and why are they asking for our grades when in fact they have a record of it in the registrar office.
Next, when you're done with all the requirements, you will then go to the waiting area and pass the folder with the papers inside to the volunteers then they will give this to the teachers who are in the department encoding your subjects. The only mistake here is that you are not present when the teachers are encoding your subjects. This had stepped into the right of the students to be able to see what the teachers are doing. Like in my situation, when i received my paper, my major subjects were being crushed out. I was in shocked why this happened and so i asked the volunteers why the encoder crushed out my major subjects and replaced it minor subjects without my permission. So I asked the volunteers and they told me that the teacher wants to talk to me. I went inside the department and had a talk with -----, the encoder. She told me that according to their rules, I am not allowed to take the subjects because i still have some minor subjects left in my previous level. I was in shock when she told me this because i had been doing this ever since when i was still a freshman. She then told me, if i want to talk to the vice chairman, then I said yes. I went inside the office of the vice chairman and apparently the vice chairman has been replaced from mam mahusay to now ----- without any notice to the students. I told her about my situation, but then she kept on talking in circles and never talked straight. She didn't gave me the chance to talk to her about my request and suddenly out of nowhere she shouted and told me that my request had been denied and that if i kept on repeating about my request i should have transferred to another department and that being an irregular student was my mistake to transfer and that i am liable to waste a semester to become a regular student. I don't think that it was right for her to say that because i was just asking for a request of possibilities and USC is always accepting students whether transferees, shiftees or returnees. I left her office with a heavy heart.
Then came the afternoon, I received a call from a classmate who had been enrolled in all major subjects and which also has minor subjects left out in his previous levels. It was just so unfair, if they have rules on this then why others can get an exemption? Is this really a work of an university?
I am wondering why such prestigious university has a very lousy enrollment system and why are they still keeping up on this.
