Shoutout ASU — Got my MCWs approved after a brutal 2022

8 Upvotes

Man, I just need to share a massive win because I’m honestly so relieved. I just got official word that my Medical Compassionate Withdrawal (MCW) requests for my 2022 terms were approved in literally one day.

Back in 2022, life completely derailed on me. I was dealing with severe medical issues, fighting through active alcoholism, and trying to hold things together while my grades completely tanked. It’s been a massive, heavy weight hanging over my head for years trying to figure out how to clean the slate and move forward.

I pulled together all my documentation, medical records, and a thorough personal letter laying out the raw truth about what went down. including the battle with alcohol and the health crisis that caused everything to collapse and submitted the whole packet Honestly, I was stressing that because it has been 4 years, because of the nature of addiction, they'd just brush it off, stall, or give me a hard time about the timeline. But they actually read everything I provided, looked at the real, human situation, and pushed it through immediately.

Shoutout to the team over there for handling it so fast and letting me finally get past that chapter of my life. It feels completely unreal to have those failing grades converted to non-punitive "W"s so my cumulative GPA isn't getting dragged down anymore by a year where I was genuinely sick and struggling to survive.

If anyone is sitting on old medical documentation or dealing with things like addiction and health crises from back then, and you're stressing about whether it's worth trying to fix your transcript, don't give up. Put together a real, detailed, honest narrative with your documentation and submit it. ASU actually came through for me way faster than I ever expected, and it feels damn good to have a clean path forward to finish what I started.

Anyone know around when SCAI usually releases TA/Grader assignments for fall semester? Just curious when we should expect to hear back.

Schedule for Online Courses

2 Upvotes

Hello, I’m currently thinking about getting my bachelors degree 100% online through ASU.

I was wondering what the scheduling is like; is most of the work on your own time? Do you need to log on/off at specific times throughout the day? If i was someone who was busy during the day, could i just do online work at night with no issues?

I know this could vary by field of study, but whats the general schedule you guys have experienced/preferred? TYIA

MAT 484 and MAT 499

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I major in Applied Math and had taken 2 years off from school. I'm planning to come back this Fall and signing up for MAT 484 and 499. Has anyone taken these two classes before? Are they hard? How do they work? Anything shared here about those classes would be appreciated. I'm trying to figure out as I need two more of Upper Math Electives and as I've done research, these two are the easiest on the list. I'm not a big fan of coding, programming, and writing proofs that much. I have experience in volunteer-teaching language at a local church before!

Applied supply vs supply chain

1 Upvotes

I accidentally applied to applied supply chain management instead of supply chain management but now looking online it seems applied supply chain will be more data based while the other supply chain management is technical/leader and management based is true if so did the mistake turn out to be a happy coinciy

Can anyone help resolve this?

0 Upvotes

my son signed up in January for some online grad classes. Then he changed his mind and dropped them all.But one withdrawal didn't take, apparently. ASU was messaging him in his student portal, which he wasn't checking because he wasn't taking classes.

Now they're chasing him for about 3500, and sent him a letter. he called the phone number in the letter, to be bounced around multiple different departments for hours, to be told finally when he spoke with a person that they couldn’t help him. ASU is now threatening to send this to collections. Is there anyone who can help him? He didn’t take this class --he never even logged into the course. We can’t seem to get anyone on the phone who can help resolve this.
