Overwhelmed
I've just been accepted into a Masters of Counselling. I have never before enrolled - well attempted to enrol... in such a complicated, unclear educational provider.
I have to work out what courses I need to enrol in for Trimester 3, make sure things don't clash (there's no dates anywhere that I can see), and then work out if I meet the pre-requisites for each course, which I would have assumed would be a given, considering I've been accepted to complete the degree.... why allow me in, if I can't complete it!?!
So far it all just seems a bit wild - a really easy way for them to not have to do a lot on their end, but charge us a fortune to figure it all out for ourselves.
Whenever I have called or accessed the chat feature - the people I speak to have very little actual knowledge about anything.
This is a really big deal to undertake for the next three years, and if the level of support is basically 'no support'... then I'm not sure I'll go ahead with it.
Is this normal? Is this how all Uni's conduct their masters?
What are these guys like to actually study with?
My course is 100% online - and so far, I'm not feeling particularly confident in their ability to not make this more stressful than it already will be.
