While my courses were fine, I am surprised that the faculty and staff at Benedictine are able to get out of bed on their own and brush their teeth without someone holding their hand and walking through the process. Here is a list of administrative issues I had during my time as a student:
  • 3 courses that I met the prereqs for, but was told I did not. All three times, I argued with multiple personnel until finally someone would check my records and realize that I was correct and that I should be able to register for the course in questions. This would go on for days (up to ten) while I impatiently waited and hoped the course would not fill up in the meantime.
  • 1098-T was not available on February 10 (legally they are REQUIRED to make it available on January 31) and no one will answer my emails. Further, the registrar's office does not have an extension published, so you can't even call. I need to get my taxes done and have an appointment set up to do so. Get it together, Benedictine.
  • When I had questions about my diploma, I got bounced around before someone FINALLY told me it would be mailed in February. How does this take several people to figure out?
  • The level of incompetence at Benedictine is appalling. I actually had a decent experience in terms of academics, but would not recommend the school to anyone because of how stressful it is to accomplish the most basic administrative tasks.
