UMass can't do anything right...

baronessmartha and nalyirri will appreciate this one most of all...

So my spring bursar's bill go paid late, and we got socked with a late fee.  Which M paid $4.50 to pay online so we could be sure it go there in time to not incur MORE late fees.  He did so on 4/22.  Yesterday I got a threatening e-mail and letter saying that if it wasn't paid by the 11th, they would administratively withdraw me from school.  I said, "M, did you pay that?"  He said, "Yeah, a couple of weeks ago, online."

I just called the Bursar's office.  The payment was posted on 4/22.  And it takes 2 weeks for it to be processed, so it will show as paid sometime early next week.

WTF???

(But no, we will not be penalized for it - because we paid it before the deadline.)
