[nabs-l] Disappointed in changes to my college degree plan!

[Joshua Lester]

Hi Jane.
My degree is an Associates in Behavioral Health.
I'm planning to fight it, but I know with those hard-nosed people, I'll never win, because I've fought them tooth and nail to get efficient Braille on the doors of the classrooms, and they've finally approved of changing them, but I have to put the labels on, myself!
This is stuff that should've been done a long time ago, according to the IDEA!
Blessings, Joshua

How willing ar eyou to fight?  They tried to completely change my degree to something else.

BTW, what is your degree in If it's education, then I am afraid you are out of luck, because requirements for that are always changing. If it's something else, ou need to think carefully about how hard you want to push them. I simply told them point-blank there was no way I was going to stay in college for at least one mroe year, maybe more, to take on extra classes that were not originally required. Eventually they accepted my position, and I was the last person to graduate from my university with a degree in English-Journalism.
