There were programs in my uni that got dissolved before people had matriculated. Students who had several semesters of courses under their belts were left out in the cold and had to try to rig their courses into other programs as electives or transfer. It was awful.
- sentenza 12y agoWould you mind to name and shame that university? I've often heared of programs being dissolved, but always with a "we won't stop operation until the last matriculated person has been given enough time to graduate at average speed" grace period.
- zacinbusiness 12y agoI'm very loyal to my department because they were awesome and extremely supportive (luckily we survived the axe), so I don't want to shame the whole university. But it's a medium-sized school in the South East of the US and it's run by an alarmingly incompetent chancellor.
- greatbigtable 12y agoMy wife was a college advisor and had students keep copies of the college handbook that was published the year a student started in a major. She would hammer home that it was their "contract" with the university and had students use it to good effect when they argued against changes to the graduation requirements mid-program. I don't know if it would work for everyone, but it is worth a shot and can't hurt to just have that stored away when you appeal to your university.
