Students and Binghamton University officials are telling different stories after more than 300 students were dropped from their classes for failing to confirm their enrollment.

Sophomore Katie Lindenbaum said she confirmed her enrollment before the Jan. 30 deadline, but was dropped from her classes anyway. Lindenbaum, a psychology major, is just one of the 334 Binghamton University students who were dropped.

Though Lindenbaum was confident she had confirmed her enrollment, University Registrar Terry Kelley-Wallace said there were no computer glitches indicated. According to Kelley-Wallace, any students dropped had either forgotten or made an error.

Kelley-Wallace said students who said they confirmed but were dropped from their classes anyway either exited the survey incorrectly or selected “no” instead of “yes” when asked to confirm.

There were 1,658 students who had yet to confirm their enrollment by Jan. 28, just two days before the initial deadline, Kelley-Wallace said. She said unconfirmed students were sent e-mails warning them of their status.

Lindenbaum, however, said she never received any e-mails. She didn’t find out she had been dropped from her classes until Feb. 3, when a teaching assistant said she was no longer on the roster.

“My TA said I wasn’t on the list, so I looked back and I wasn’t in any of my classes,” she said. “I panicked.”

Lindenbaum said she visited the registrar’s office about 10 times in the last week, trying to get her schedule back. She was able to re-add all of her classes, signing up for the last one yesterday afternoon.

According to Kelley-Wallace, of the 334 students who were dropped from their classes at the end of the first week, more than 70 re-registered for classes but still failed to confirm their enrollment. Kelley-Wallace said these students would be dropped from all of their classes, again, this afternoon if they don’t correct the problem. She said these students need to visit the University Registrar’s office to confirm their enrollment on paper by 4:30 p.m. to avoid losing their schedules.

Student Association Vice President of Academic Affairs Peter Spaet said he had heard from students like Lindenbaum, who thought they had confirmed their enrollment.

“There are a very small number of students who believe they had confirmed their enrollment,” Spaet said. “There is an extent to which there is conflicting information.”

Spaet said to his understanding, no one was dropped without a warning e-mail. He also said there was no indication of a glitch in banner.

However, Lindenbaum said she was still confident that she had confirmed her enrollment. She said she even double checked before the deadline and felt the Registrar’s office made it seem like she did something wrong.

Shaun Hiller, a friend of Lindenbaum’s and a Newing College representative on the Student Assembly, drafted a resolution asking the Assembly to take a stance and help students whose schedules were dropped.

“I don’t think it’s right that these kids got kicked out of their classes when they assumed everything was right,” Hiller, a sophomore history major, said.

Both Hiller and Spaet were in favor of verification e-mails being sent in the future to students who successfully confirmed enrollment.

Though she said the last week had been horrible, Lindenbaum considered herself fortunate.

“I’m sure there were many students who didn’t [get their schedules back],” she said. “I just got lucky.”
