Summer School
AH? Okay so I am in summer school for biology .. and i have kinda posted this before .. but I went to the summer school "guidence" today and talked to the principal and they told me the day I get my mark (monday) .. I had to give them all this information for MAC.. and like so I went to the library .. and found the fax and all the info then went to give it to them .. to have and they said no on monday .. but then they said I can not get my transcript until .. the eng out Aug. so I don't know what I am going to do. .. they said they will send it to my highschool ... and they send it over.. but the end of aug. is too late..... and my highschool is so slow at that i probably wont get it until October..

They said the best they cud do is send a letter from the principal with my name and my mark .. in the class.. is this good enough?? -does anyone actually know.
So many people in my class are confused and don't know what needs to be done.

The mark is essential for you picking classes for the year, correct?

The only thing I can suggest is to talk to a faculty advisor and see what they say...if not you may not be able to take bio this semester...

Sounds complicated! Not to fear, phone McMaster up on Monday and they will tell you exactly what you need, and what the next steps will be. First give the Registrar a call, and if they can't help, phone your Faculty (not your summer school guidance) that you want to get into in Sept. and see what they say. Remember to have as much information as possible, write it down before you call and organize it so that you can give them everything they need to solve your problem. Remember to stay relaxed... they want you to be happy and will do everything they can!

well I have emailed MAC so far .. just because I feel like I maybe wasting someones time on the phone simply because I am not sure about the mark yet .. and thats what they need.

I sent an email to .. student accounts because it was under the payment agreement. and the rest I will leave until monday. I recieved an email back about my email though saying due to the volume in emails mine would likely take 3-5 days. So monday will likely be when I can really find out..

Ya, I would recommend phoning simply because you are guaranteed to get a response quicker if you are able to get through. They must get 100's of e-mails every day, and most likely are back logged by now, so there's no guarantee you'll get a reply via e-mail.

And although they do call back, they are a bit backlogged on those as well. Expect 24 hours before you get a call back...at the minimum.

well I have yet to recieve an email back. I tried calling 3 times today. It must be very busy. I got busy signals and no answer machine.

I have heard from others in my class that the marks were sent to mac because they all got into the biology classes. So I guess I will just have to find out Aug. 6th.
