[nabs-l] entitlement vs eligibility was: Re: Question About Studying For Math Placement Test

[josh gregory]

For Joshua: This goes back to entitlement vs. eligibility. In high
school, they did everything for you. You were given access to things
because you were entitled to them. In college, advocacy is a big part
of everything you do! You, the student are expected to advocate for
what you need, and, therefor, you're the one that should have
contacted nbp. The college has no such responsibility to do these
things, that's your job. Sorry, but that's how it is, and how I'm
going to explain it.
