Stepping Backwards

Got a response already to that form I sent in the day before. Let's see if I can untangle this. The form was a request for a leave of absence from university this semester finishing. I filed it because I was told that, not having taken any units this semester, I would otherwise be considered to have abandoned my course and my enrolments for next semester would not go through. The reason I was not enrolled in any units this semester was because there were none on offer useful to my degree, or at least none I had not already taken. When I was told I had to put the leave of absence form in, though, the person who told me it was necessary neglected to tell me it was also necessary to travel back in time and submit it during March. So today I was told it was too late and, basically I would have to reapply through the UAC if I want to continue study and I would probably have to find an 'equivalent' degree probably somewhere else  since the one I was doing is being retired and has not been accepting new students for a few years now. Which is a shame, since I only needed about two more units to finish, one of which would normally have been running the semester just gone but is instead running in Spring this last year it is offered.

I know this is at least partly my fault because if I had known previously about all this I could have just put the form in when I needed to. Doesn't make me any less pissed off though.
