what can i do to get my refund?

i recently left wake tech, i requested a withdraw from all my classes cuz that’s what i was told to do and now they’re saying i can’t get any refund of any sort. i need that money back, that’s why i left, cuz my family needs it, but they said there’s nothing they can do. someone please tell me there’s something cuz i pay out of state tuition so it’s like $3500 paid in full.

I asked this earlier, about refunds!

Hello! I have 4 classes, 3 started August 14th, 1 starts in October. Let’s say my balance says -2300, is that what I get or will it still be split up? And what are the chances I get dropped from a class before disbursements? Currently these checks are all I have til October so I’m relying on it (hence why I ask a ton of questions) Thank you in advance

MAT 272 Help

Does anyone have any experience or tips when it comes to taking calc 2, we already have our first test set for Tuesday, and I already feel really behind. I don’t want to end up retaking the class but I wouldn’t be opposed to it, so what could I do?

ILC testing center

This might sound like a dumb question, but every time I’ve been to the scott northern testing center, it’s only been for paper tests. I’ve never taken an online test there. Soon, I have to go in for a proctored exam on the computer, and I’m genuinely confused about where to log in. I’m assuming I just use my Wake Tech email and password to log in & go to blackboard considering my test is on there? I’m really confused and just want to be prepared. Can someone explain? lol

Mat143 help/advice

So I just started fully online courses at Wake Tech for the fall semester and my goal is to get an associates of arts and transfer to ECU to get a bachelor’s and masters in psychology, so math is basically useless to me other than it being required. When I asked admissions office I told them I’m absolutely terrible at math, like not even tutor worthy, to give me the easiest math. They swore mat143 was easiest, so I’ve been taking it and I’m currently struggling like I don’t understand anything. What are the other math options available that will give me the right credits/requirements for when I transfer? Is there anything easier?? I really can’t do this and thinking about dropping the class soon and retrying next semester or something. I hardly passed high school math (here in NC) so I really can’t do math at all and I’m panicking I don’t even understand excel at all. Any advice would help.

EDIT/UPDATE: I’ve now dropped the class and plan to take another math in the spring semester. Hopefully that one will be easier and I’ll try to update which one I take and if it is easier!

Wake Tech Online classes that aren’t proctored

Hey everyone, Im thinking of taking some online courses next semester but the issue is my webcam doesn't work and I can't afford to get a new laptop. What are some online courses (any subject) that you all have taken which doesn't require proctoring or video for major/final exams?

ENG 111 - teacher recommendation

Has anyone taken ENG 111 with any of the three teachers ?

  1. Fish, Kelsey
  2. Harris, Monique
  3. Shoulars, Kimberly A.

I am deciding whether to take it now in the 8-week session or wait until next semester for a better option. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find ratings for these teachers on Rate My Professors. Any insights or recommendations on which teacher is best would be really helpful.

Teacher withdrew me because of tardies

With my work schedule I am always 5 mins late so I always miss the attendance. Today was the first day I had actually missed this semester and I went to check Blackboard and I was withdrawn no email, no warning except one email last Friday asking why I was absent?? even though I was in class every day. Is there anything I can do to get back in

Teacher withdrew me from a class I paid for after missing my first assignment due to an injured wrist. Is this allowed and what is the best way to get ahold of someone who can help out at wake tech?

I sprained my wrist really bad on Saturday, to the point where any little movement was met with a lot of pain and fatigue. Because of this, I missed my Sunday assignments for all the classes I’m taking, but this one particular professor decided to drop me from the course for it. No one else did this, and I didn’t notice he did until right now, as I was writing down all the things I need to catch up on tomorrow. Is this even allowed and what should I do?

Classes with Wednesday deadlines?

Does anyone else have online classes that start on Thursdays and end on Wednesdays? I have three. Does anyone know why they are doing this? It seems a bit strange and random. It makes the weekend the middle of the week. I wonder if professors will respond to emails over the weekend given this.

Anyone use offerings from Care Center?

Has anyone used their services, especially the free counseling, and had good experiences?

I know they're there for a reason and I should just book something and find out on my own, but stuff like this was offered at a few corporate jobs I have had before (I'm non-traditional) and they were always kind of a bit of a joke.

FYI: there is no deadline to file an SAP appeal form. The counseling for this makes it seem like there is, but there is not.

Had to spend a good 40 mins panicking if I had missed a deadline and there was no obvious answer. Despite the mandated online counseling saying there is a deadline to file form and to check the website, I finally got in contact with someone from Financial Aid to confirm there is no such deadline. Posting this so I can help another worried person who may google this question.
