First Day of the New Quarter.

Mammology, 8am - looks like it will be a awesome class despite the time. Most of our labs will mostlikely take place out at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge where we will be trapping and preforming autopsies on mammals for the researchers

that is odd....i have never heard them only giving work study to part time students at any college, usually they assume they already have jobs and thus don't need work study.....

Exactly. half time students have the time to get off campus part-time (and even full-time) jobs... They said they are "switching to a new system" ... there is a "new" system? I thought work study was dictated by federal regulations? That excuse in of itself worries me... is it a "new system" for summer quarter only, ot all quarters? are they now going to tell me next year that I can't work on campus unless I am only half-time? at half-time I lose my normal Fin Aid, or atleast most of it.

It's not less than five, it's five or less. In other words, less than six.

Don't ask me why, either, because it annoys me, too.

I'm just going to take one of the two classes I had wanted to this summer. Lame. >.<

Oh, and by the way... You can also get work study for summer quarter if you aren't taking any classes, so long as you are going to enroll fall quarter. I might have to do this next year.

Even John Shields, the guy who handles all the student employment for the Biology Department, says it is the stupidest thing he has ever heard. I unfortionatly do not have a choice, I have to get both of these classes out of the way or it will set me back more than just a single quarter and also hurt my chances of getting TA possitions next fall. So it looks like I am seeking departmental hire instead; probably better than workstudy anyways.
