Enrolled at college last week and the women/course organiser was a pure patronising bitch. When she just assumed and wrote down that I was fulltime, and I corrected her and said I was part time, she got really agitated because she hadnt organised part time codes or some esoteric rubbish that in no way concerns me. She showed me the fulltime timetbale and said "Right, well drop this one here, or this one here" and I had to on-the-spot just pick a class to be dropped and that was that.

I went away and looked at the timetable and it was three full days a week which I just cant do, even with one class dropped. I went back and waited around while she pretended to ignore me for like, ten minutes before looking annoyed, I said to her would it not be possible to drop two classes, instead of one, and then I'd only be in for two full days. She got right pissy and said
"THIS class, is an accounting class, you cant drop it, its a mandatory class" with this sneer and tone as if I was completely retarded.

I asked another few questions but she was just abrupt and used the same tone and was acting like a cunt. Told me I'd be better of doing another course if thats what I wanted to do. So I asked, Oh right, well how would I do that then? "Well you'd have to cancel this and enrol in a whole new BLAH BLAH" and got shouty and incredulous even though SHE'D suggested it.

Anyway, got her email address and just wrote an email. Supposed to start on Tuesday and no doubt she won't bother replying before then/if at all. So I might just go in on Monday and try and speak to someone about it.

Hello Sharon,

I enrolled last week for the part time HNC Accounting and was confused
when given the timetable. The course I applied for was the one found
here on the college website:

http://www.stow.ac.uk/stow-courses/accounting-hnc-44.html

where the length and duration clearly states:
"Duration
2 academic year
August - June
6.5 hours (1 day)"

I really dont understand why I've now been handed a timetable thats
over three days and is basically the fulltime timetable minus one
class. I thought this would be a day release course that those
already in work would be attending, where the classes would fit in
with those doing the fulltime course.

I woudln't be adverse to perhaps doing two full days, but I certainly
can't afford childcare for three days and I dont understand why you
told me I'd be better off doing a different qualification (a PDA?)
when I'm only trying to do the course that I applied for.

If it was possible for me to finish in just one year that would
obviously be beneficial, however I don't think I would be awarded the
HNC in one year if I've dropped one of the optionals, would I? At
this stage, if I were to carry on doing this timetable, with one class
dropped, wouldn't I have to stay for additional year to complete that
anyway?

Regards
Pamela
