I Guess Graduates Pay the Tech Fee Now
Today's sign that Case's student records system is out of sync with itself is the following 3 lines from my account status report:
Date Code Description Charges Credits 01/18/07 TECH STUDENT TECHNOLOGY FEE $200.00 01/23/07 TECH STUDENT TECHNOLOGY FEE $200.00 01/27/07 TECH STUDENT TECHNOLOGY FEE $200.00
I graduated in December. I guess ITS really wants the money for this controversial fee.
I really hope Peoplesoft fixes all the little problems like this. Oh, what am I saying? I know that Peoplesoft will just introduce as many problems as it fixes.

Greg,
This fee gets added automatically to anyone with an active housing assignment, including Greeks. Did you let housing know that you were graduating so they can remove your name from your chapter roster? Your chapter could also submit a roster to make the change.
It takes them until after drop/add to sort this out given the time it takes to post your diploma and the possibility that you are hanging around doing BS/MS work. I see they removed the assignment yesterday, which means it will post to your account this week, and finally student accounts will clean up the mess.
I'll be quite happy to not have this fee linked to housing any more!
