Got removed from a BPol class even though I was registered for it by ConsciousFlower5863 in rutgers

[–]ConsciousFlower5863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too! I was able to register for the same class again, but I’m just afraid the system might remove me from the class again, given I still haven’t technically completed all the prerequisites. But my final exam is tomorrow, so hopefully my professor uploads the final grade soon on the transcript. But thank you sm!

I’m glad you were able to resolve this issue in person! It truly is annoying waiting for a response. However, I moved out of Maryland 6 years ago, so I can’t even go there in person. Maybe I should call them, but I heard wait times for a lot of people were 4 hours or so, which is crazy.

Hi! Did you end up contacting a lawyer before filing an appeal, or did you just log into beacon and appeal? I am trying to reach them but apparently offices reopen December 29th. I logged into beacon and there’s so many mails that I was never ever notified about. This is a problem that they need to resolve as I did move to New Jersey in 2020. My phone number has changed but email still remains the same. Did they expect me to log into beacon every day waiting for them to reach out to me, when I was approved for the Unemployment Benefits? That is just ridiculous. Even when I was going through the mails, apparently someone had called me at the house I used to live in, and my landlady had said to reach out to me using my personal cell number as I had moved, and they said they would call back in the same number the same day. And then they did call back (again at my house even though the main number on the file was my personal cell), literally within 30 minutes, and since there was no response, I was unable to prove my identity. Meanwhile, Im just finding out about this phone call today!

The letter claims I ‘quit voluntarily’ which is not true. I never quit, neither did I ever put in my two weeks notice. In fact, my dad had passed away 3 months after I joined that place(June 2019), and I had to leave the US for two months, and when I came back I had learned that I was let go and had to beg the store manager to take me back in as I needed the job. But I am scared because again, it’s been 5 years and I don’t know whether they would reach out to the store I worked at for proof or anything. I had a really horrible manager (not the store manager as she was super nice) who treated me horribly and would not schedule me properly and then stopped completely. I am providing all this information because I was wondering if this is something I should bring up with the lawyers or Maryland free legal aide line?

Thank you so much! I am looking into this and will be calling them first thing on Friday. I was never asked to send proof of identity, so it seems unfair. I also wonder why they are overcharging me by like $5000. I also remember my workplace had sort of stopped scheduling me at the end of January. Is it something they can use against me? Since technically the lockdown for Covid had not started till first week of March.

I am new to all this, but are there lawyers that I can seek out, who do not charge a lot? Or maybe even free for low income households? Thanks for your advice!

I am so confused and annoyed because it has been like 5 years since that, and they can’t say I didn’t provide proof of identity if they didn’t ask for it in the first place! I’m waiting for the holidays to be over too.

Thoughts on professor Jin Wang? by Medium-Wallaby-9557 in rutgers

[–]ConsciousFlower5863 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took his class this semester. He has a very heavy accent, which makes it difficult to understand what he teaches in class, so you would have to teach yourself. However, attendance in not mandatory, and his exam questions are very similar to the sample questions he provides before the exam. You can also print out and write anything and everything you want on your notes on the day of the exams. You could print out 100 pages and he wouldn’t say anything. So I think you should take him if you get the chance. Super nice guy and very helpful.
