Premise
"Just because you're big doesn't mean you have to be disorganized."I’m one of those lifelong students?"not because I love college, but because I can't decide on a career path. After a year off, I attempted to register for the spring semester, only to find my account partially disabled. Here’s where the real issues begin.
I wasn’t surprised that my account was disabled; what puzzled me was how it was handled. While I could still access class registration and the university portal, my email was completely locked out. If the university had a unified tech structure, login information would be centralized. An account disabled in one area should be disabled everywhere. Instead, some departments disabled my account, while others left it partially operational, creating confusion and frustration.
Why not completely disable my account rather than giving me a false sense of access, followed by a jarring permissions error when I try to use logged-in services?
Rule #1: Never Display Nasty Errors
Building a network system requires more than just completing the task. Developers should include functionality for unexpected issues. In my case, there should have been two things: a friendly message explaining my account's status and clear instructions on how to re-enable it.Rule #2: Avoid Endless Loops; Take Responsibility
I spoke with my counselor, who directed me to computer services. Computer services then sent me to the registration office, which redirected me back to my counselor. This endless loop is not just frustrating?"it's inefficient. The problem could have been resolved at any point if someone had taken responsibility. Ultimately, I had to register for classes over the phone instead of online.Rule #3: Record Problems and Resolve Known Issues
Working in IT, I understand the complexities involved. However, it's crucial to prevent repeat situations. I'm sure I’m not the first to face this issue, and unless changes are made, I won’t be the last. Simple adjustments to the system could resolve this, but without proactive steps, it falls on the student to navigate this frustrating process.Thanks for the warm welcome back, [University of Akron](http://www.uakron.edu).
