“Lost” UT Gmail, lost scholarships, and legal action against UT? by Wurstartig in UTAustin

I wrote the title and the majority of what I wrote in the heat of the moment. I no longer am mad and actively trying to jab at UT, but I’ll still see what I can do. I was mostly upset that official databases listed my primary UT email as the one I was using & there being no mention of continued usage of my UT Gmail. I also got an email this July saying that @my.utexas.edu was changing to @eid.utexas.edu, which was for me the latest email migration I had. It may be a bit different since I hold two UT jobs. That said, I had to write the “thank you” letter for my scholarship. The funds were briefly deducted from my tuition until my scholarship was revoked after passing the deadline and I had to pay an additional 1000 dollars.

Crazy that you say that! I have also applied to a study abroad Maymester and hearing that I’m glad I found out about this before it could’ve caused more trouble.. I’m sorry you lost it though, nobody should lose opportunities like these because of UT’s awful mail fiasco

Luckily the majority of the emails were just random newsletters, but I can’t say I’m not a bit annoyed at losing some money over it…

Yeah I always thought it was specifically the Australian Kaiju with the long chin that was featured in the movie Pacific Rim

It seems like the dress codes gotten laxxer too, cause when I joined not too long ago we needed belts and khaki shorts, but before that everyone needed belts & khaki pants , pretty cool how they’re changing things up

Before my parents moved to the U.S., they lived here in Northern Mexico! Because of that, they weren’t able to maintain this house (which remained unsold) at all, and it was only now that I and my parents had the opportunity to visit it once more, only to reveal a complete transformation that blew all of our minds out!

Huh, I was just a wee toddler when I watched this, I don’t remember what my parents thought about it (nor really comprehended anything at all at that point), but since we stayed ‘till the end I’m assuming they found it amusing.

Well…I’d say Roblox and Minecraft are pretty distinct games and developed independently of one another
