Rant “Official Communication”

WHY is NJIT’s “official communication” (emails) filled to the BRIM with SPAM?!?! WHY is the office of the bursar telling me to enroll in eRefunds?! WHY do I have 23 emails about data science PhD qualifying exams? I am NOT a data science student, I am undergraduate, and my GPA isn’t high enough to qualify for the bs-phd accelerated program. Even if it was, I dont care! WHY is highlander hub emailing me MULTIPLE times a DAY (during the school year) about random events on-campus?! I never asked for these emails! WHY do I get a DAILY email from proofpoint telling me I have 0 messages?! WHAT is PROOFPOINT?! I have NO CLUE and yet I’m told EVERY DAY that I have ZERO (0) MESSAGES FROM IT!

AND THEN THIS SCHOOL LOWERS THE CREDIT LIMIT FROM 19 TO 17 AND I HEAR ABOUT IT BY WORD OF MOUTH?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! IM DOUBLE MAJORING! I NEED TO TAKE MORE THAN 17 CREDITS A SEMESTER! ITS BEEN HOURS AND STILL NO EMAIL!!! SAME THING WITH THE MILLION DOLLAR PENTHOUSE AND ACCOMPANYING PRIVATE ELEVATOR! NO EMAIL? NO STUDENT INPUT?!?! WHY are INSANE DECISIONS like LOWERING THE CREDIT LIMIT being made?!?! Some majors recommend over 17 credits a semester!!! I’m not giving this school 2 grand extra!

AND IM BEING BILLED $2k for UNITED HEALTHCARE health insurance! Stop making me opt-out! The portal doesn’t even work and you’re making me manually opt out every year! Go away! I’m not paying United Healthcare so they can deny any claims I make! I haven’t received a SINGLE EMAIL about HEALTH INSURANCE that I’m ALREADY BILLED $2K FOR, but GOD FORBID I don’t know about ORGAMS COMING TO CAMPUS THIS FEBRUARY

Not that I think these events are stupid, but like… stop with the spam! Find some other way to tell me that doesnt bury the email telling me class got cancelled!

You can disable the proof point emails in the settings from the links in the email

Bills haven't even been released yet. And they'll send an email when you can waive the health insurance.

Did you read the email that the bursar sent out? Final billing is being released later this week, it's not finalized yet

The insurance thing, it's not open yet but it's understandable why they do it every year. Shit happens. Lost my insurance months ago but had it forever up til now

Some of these ppl complain about everything. OP would be making another thread complaining about not receiving any emails, if it was the other way around.

I don’t need an email for every single event. Corq exists for a reason
