Dhhas been telling me things about the small 4yr univ he was temping at. He was in the admissions dept there. Apparently they consider "admitted" and "enrolled" very different, but many things are available with only admission and proof of enrollment is never asked for. Seems they are working on changing the rules because for the last few years they have had a significant number of students who are admitted, come to the school, move into the dorms and then NEVER ENROLL!! Most are on grants and loans, but manage to get them with-o proof that they ever took a course!
I sure wouldn't want to live in those dorms and try to actually study - and it is no wonder they have such a rep locally as a major party school. I have known a LOT of profs in my life and never heard of this before!! Seems in addition to grants/loans, these non-enrolled students are dealing drugs to pay the bills and keep partying.
Is this something that other universities are dealing with? WHen I was in college if you did not have at least a min number of hours you were kicked out of the dorms or other campus housing. You had to show proof that you were enrolled before your second payment for the semester was accepted. If you did not pay your tuition by the cut-off date you were not only dropped from classes, you were also locked out of your dorm room.
Either students are looking for more loopholes or the admin at this univ is seriously lax about some things. Or they have a HUGE number of difficult children there!!! (seeing as someone with a high school GPA of 0.9 can be accepted, it makes me curious as to how many difficult children they actually have!)
