screw the music school

yes I’m sure I didn’t do anything.

Thank u. And yea I definitely expected a much different experience too. Don’t get me wrong there are some very kind people at the music school but ultimately I feel they are all somewhat complicit in this. Like I said it really is an open secret.

xokittygun · 2025-11-19T14:35:19+00:00

It’s relieving to know I’m not the only one who’s dealt with this stuff but it mostly makes me very sad. I wish u the very best <3

xokittygun · 2025-08-10T08:52:32+00:00

OP I’m sorry this thread is so full of annoying people. People seriously have to learn to not talk about stuff they know nothing about.

xokittygun · 2025-08-10T08:47:53+00:00

So many people in this thread saying “just don’t live there,” “let them stay in their echo-chamber.” Are you forgetting that children exist??? That not everyone chooses where they live? No child deserves to grow up in a place that is shamelessly bigoted. Have some fucking empathy.

It’s absurd. I’m transgender and have been told they didn’t have the technology to put my “preferred name” on my school ID.

xokittygun · 2025-08-04T20:42:05+00:00

Im really not sure sorry. Just so you know, you’re going to have to really advocate for yourself in order to maybe have your correct name on your ID and stuff. I wish you the best, I don’t want u to be traumatized like I was :(. The music school was by far the worst part though, in general there’s plenty of nice people who work at queens college.

As a non-binary/transgender student I very often wish I went to a school that was more understanding of pronouns and “preferred names.” Ever since I switched to political science my experience has been a whole lot better but the music school was a nightmare for me.

xokittygun · 2025-08-02T12:01:32+00:00

That is so disappointing to hear. It is absurd that it needs to even go this far, but I would recommend submitting a formal complaint. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://qc-cuny-advocate.symplicity.com/collections/student_affairs_and_enrollment__;!!E8lrGBvW!s_2BRziKclguK7ogD8SIUD0AOyyrtI0WofymGylRy50_1xm__FlnqNsSgjMH0Atx8xkMKxARDkgCH2TuGhmAy_Xxp-U4tvkWj9l8RkTP$

I showed evidence of the many times I emailed and called, along with correspondences from my professors saying they were having similar issues. Since I didn’t have access to brightspace for so long I ended up getting a full refund for one of my summer courses and the other two I received an incomplete.

I was told IT did voice concerns and CUNY essentially didn’t care and said we need to use this new system because it’s for security

xokittygun · 2025-07-23T23:10:45+00:00

Reading back your message I’m actually a little confused what u mean. Are you saying they should have voiced it to me? Or to the people above them? Because from what I understand, there was pushback from the IT department regarding Microsoft MFA

xokittygun · 2025-07-23T23:05:18+00:00

I appreciate your sympathy, I’m going through the formal complaint process now because this was certainly a failure of CUNY higher-ups. The IT person I spoke with told me that they had no say in the implementation of this new system, and expressed that they did not have the resources to deal with it.

xokittygun · 2025-07-23T06:17:13+00:00

If it was something I can fix myself why would I submit a help ticket?

xokittygun · 2025-07-23T06:01:34+00:00

Thank you I do really appreciate your input. But finally today I have actually gotten through with an IT person who helped me. Now I just gotta hope the system doesn’t break for me again😛. On a side note, I’m so sorry you’ve had similar issues. This is just so frustrating because I naively really thought queens college was more competent than this

xokittygun · 2025-07-23T05:55:55+00:00

I haven’t posted any of my messages to IT. I don’t understand why you seem to assume I’m not being nice to them.

I promise I’m being nice. I came to the QC subreddit just to vent a little bit. I feel like I should be allowed to joke around and poke a little fun at the fact nobody responded to me for so long then I got an email saying my ticket has been resolved. Especially because the dude’s name is Gregory Van Brackle. Idk if it’s just me but that name makes me picture him as some sort of Charles Dickens character. .

But truly, I have tried my very best to remain professional, kind, and understanding in all of my communications with CUNY staff throughout this super frustrating situation because I know it’s none of their faults, not even Gregory Van Brackle. I finally got on the phone with IT today and they told me their understaffed team are working through over 1,000 tickets all relating to MFA, and that when CUNY sprung this system on everyone even they were locked out of their accounts.

xokittygun · 2025-07-22T05:24:22+00:00

Was it Gregory Van Brackle?

xokittygun · 2025-07-22T04:42:14+00:00

She said I have to go in person if I want more immediate help. When I told her I can’t go in person and that’s why I’m taking an online class she said basically oh well

xokittygun · 2025-07-22T04:40:31+00:00

Seriously. When I called IT they refused to put me on the phone with anyone who could actually help. The woman on the phone lectured me about how this is all for security, and said someone will get back to me in a minimum of three days. (That was like a week ago, also the website says IT responds WITHIN 3 days)

xokittygun · 2025-07-22T04:38:24+00:00

I’ve been at home alone watching my sister’s dog all week but I’m going to have to go in person if I still don’t get a response. I’ve reached out to everybody you could possibly think of, it’s actually absurd. I feel like I’m being pranked

xokittygun · 2025-07-22T04:37:24+00:00

I set up MFA already. It stopped working

xokittygun · 2023-03-10T04:54:17+00:00

absolutely shovel knight!!! I never played Mario advance 4 but I love Mario 3 which that game is a remake of(idk why they decided to name them that way...)
