vbprisoner Does this have something to do with them damn corn and swine festivals ? 🙄 Nah, that's just standard midwestern hate crimes toward California real estate and cost of living... You'll know when the Corn and Swine festival season kicks in because Hawk Attack will: 1. Start complaining how he does't have time to update his fantasy roster and that's why he got drummed the previous week, and stuck with same roster upcoming week...smh 2. His posts on Sunday night will read with a slight slur, and his Monday posts will have a hangover feel! 3. I'll have to track him down Sunday evening for his top 25 ballot and his response will be, "I didn't turn that in yet?" Life in Iowa!!! LMAO I love summer because it’s a six day week... with a strange hazy gap between Saturday and Monday.

You obviously did not teach at a research university. Profs at research universities only lecture so they can be paid a salary for 9-months a year. They don’t grade, and they active avoid interactions with students. Because these things are massive time sinks. Au contraire, mon amie. I did indeed teach at a research university, two different schools in my 20s and later in my 40s, both as graduate TA, not a professor. That makes perfect sense. TA’s do all of the grading and the bulk of the “actual” teaching, to those students wise enough to seek it. The profs (really, professional researchers) just stand up there and lecture to students who usually have no idea what’s going on and don’t learn the material until the homework is due.

But those summer classes (and housing) are allowed to be paid for. Are they allowed to be paid for if you are not on scholarship?  I think what may have happened is the University wouldn't admit the transfer (and grant a scholarship) until their grades were acceptable.  Thus, the student had to take summer classes and incur expenses that they weren't planning on, thinking they would be on scholarship during the summer.  Rumor is that Bond paid the player a large sum of money via summer camp salary to cover the tuition/housing. How are they taking summer classes if the university didn’t admit them?

How are they taking summer classes if the university didn’t admit them? they get a job with the janitorial staff and then solve math equations posted on the whiteboard in the hallway. Ask Matt Damon.

Must have been either a "conditional" admittance or an outright admission but under a "probationary" status. I don't know how Iowa does it but many schools have these mechanisms in place. Even for grad school admissions, especially if you're admitted into a program for which you have little academic experience, e.g., History, Art History, English Literature.

At a lot of universities, summer enrollment is open... Meaning you weren't actually fully admitted, just taking classes.

I think at the U of Minn you can do something like “audit” classes, without being an enrolled student (if there’s an open seat). And perhaps if you do enroll afterward within some time limit the audit credits can be converted to real credits. That’s a guess, but sounds reasonable
