Academia, I Issue this Challenge: SUCK IT

If one were to hold in one hand my degree audit and in the other the UWEC Course Catalog, all evidence would support the following claim: Matt can/will graduate in May.

However, this may not be the conclusion drawn by the individual if they, say, belong to the UWEC Theatre Department.

Hearsay though it is at this stage, word is that for the Liberal Arts degree (as opposed to the Comprehensive degree) I ACTUALLY need two practica from the 100 level AND two from the 300 level.

All the official documents, those being degree audits, course catalogs, and the department website, say I need a TOTAL of two from EITHER of those. One 100 and one 300? Fine. Two 300s? Groovy. Two 100s? Sure thing.

Despite the wealth of practical experience I had at Westminster (which would transfer in as FOUR 300 level and two 100 level credits if Dr. Allen had actually paid attention when I transferred in) I only have one 100 level practicum credit on the books. I was planning on getting either a 100 or a 300 next semester, but now it looks like I'm gonna need more. . . Maybe.

It's all up in the air. The hardcopy says one thing; the living breathing person says another. All WILL be straightened out within a matter of days, however. I AM graduating in May. Come hell or high water.

Out.
