Did you really have to stir that pot? LOL

[curtisdaa]

Wow, Northwood was a juco when I played at GCC. Of course that was in 1980.

[greenminer]

Did you really have to stir that pot? LOL

yes, I believe he should.

[UNT90]

Can we? Will we?

[CMJ]

Can we? Will we?

[oldguystudent]

This is a huuuuge streak of one game several divisions below us.

[UNT90]

No, really.

Can we?

Will we?

Or will Benford continue to lower the bar.

This is kind of a tangent, but....I require one class to sit for the CPA exam, and yesterday I was informed that I cannot take the class required at UNT as a non-degree seeking graduate student and that I have to be in the MS program. The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy does not require a Master's degree only completion of 150 hours, among other things. However, Northwood is one school that offers the class I need so I may be a student there. So I guess I will be rooting for Northwood in this game...yipee. Now after completing 154 hours all at UNT, I have to apply and enroll at another school. Needless to say the business department will not be receiving a donation from me this year or any other year.

What class? The graduate school (as in Tuluose, not the Business School) is pretty shitty about telling you what you need to do to accomplish your goals. They feared me, because I wasn't going to let their uncaring ineptitude sway me from the prize. Believe me, it's better than it used to be. I definitely have felt your pain, and lament that you're going through this.

The State Board requires an Accounting Research Class. At UNT it is either ACCT 5110 - Fundamentals of Accounting Research or ACCT 5310 - Tax Research.

Seriously? As one who posts on this board is often fond of saying..."Only at North Texas" (and I am not talking about the Business School here). So, can you not enroll in the MS program, take the class and drop out? I had to pick up some undergard courses prior to taking classes for my MBA at UNT...could not register and take the required classes as a non-degree student, so simply enrolled in the MBA program and took the required undergrad classes. Could have dropped out at any time...no problem if I had desired to do so. UNT and most colleges are not simply places where folks go and take one class just because they want to. You seem to be saying that you did not need the class to graduate, but find you now need it to take the CPA exam. Why did you not take that class while you were enrolled at UNT? Just asking, and if you could but did not...why? Did you avail yourself of the degree planning folks in the Business School or were you a business major? Inquiring minds want to know. But, having to take a single class elsewhere is certainly NOT uncommon at all, and certainly should not be the source of so much anger and agnst directed toward the College of Business. Seems you found a way to solve the problem that works. Blaming UNT and withholding donations for the rest of your life does seem a bit extreme when you could well have chosen to get this done while still enrolled at UNT and working on your undergard.

Many of us made some "mistakes" while pursuing our degrees and had to modify some plans to make it happen and/or take a course or two at a different institution. Hardly UNT's fault alone...personal responsibility come into play somwhere in all this I would imagine...did mine!

[oldguystudent]

He'd probably have to take and submit the GMAT scores to enroll in the MS program. Otherwise, you're stuck in non-degree seeking/second bachelor land, and neither of those will get you into the research class. It's unfortunate. That really is a necessary class. Honestly, I kinda wonder how the guy took any other grad level accounting courses without research. The thing about the accounting department at UNT is that when you're going through it, it can be infuriating to see how unyielding they are about what classes you have to take and when, but when you've gotten through it all and look back, you realize that they really do know what they're doing, and there really was a method to their madness. But this is unlikely to be related to the department as much as the school of business and the fine folk at Toulouise or however the hell you spell that.

Yes, only at North Texas would they restrict a course required to become a CPA to those that are degree seeking graduate students when the state board requires no such degree to become a CPA. I could enroll in the MS program if I wanted to take the GMAT, write an essay, and have two people write me professional recomendations all to take one class. But it is to late to do that for this semester. The frustration begins with the course's professor who has not responded to multiple emails or messages left by me forcing me to go over her head only to find out that the college specifically restricts these two particular classes only to persons enrolled in the MS program. I did not need the class to graduate. To become a CPA one has to have worked for a CPA. At the time of graduation I had not, so there was no reason to take the two classes that I would need to sit for the exam. As I was employed by an organization with a CPA I have taken the first class last fall, and now was attempting to take the final class. How would I take this class as an undergrad? I couldn't. I could only take it if I wasted my time and money taking the GMAT, wrote an essay, and had two collegaues waste their time writting me a recomendation. All the advisors at UNT told me was that as a non-degree seeking student I was able to take a maximum of 12 graduate hours and since I only required 6 I thought I was in the clear.

Now I see why we dropped the series with UTA.

Your reaction is very perverse.

Why be so donation averse?

Though your plans are now screwed

The fault MUST be with you.

So shut up and just open your purse.

You're in fine form these days.

[glick1980]

Update: After presenting my case in a very persuasive way, I have been allowed to enroll in my final class. Go to hell Northwood.

Two things...

1). Thanks for the original response...very puzzling, but appreciate the reply...and

2). There we have it. Seems to have worked out in the end. Great to see, and glad you will get to take the course at UNT. Now, go pass that CPA exam on your first go! Congrats.

Hmmmmmm...see last posts by Glick1980 and oldguystudent. Two who actually have something to add to the discussion other than to say..."hey, look at me, look at me", oh, well.

It is puzzling, and although I received a special approval to enroll, someone else will most likely face the same problem as I did.
