This is a letter I've just now sent to one of the deans where I go to school. It, I hope, convey something about how very frustrating it is to do anything with these people.
Dean *Names changed to protect the innocent*,
My name is Morgan ______, I expect you remember me from the meeting yourself and I had in early January following my transgression with the Honors College. At that meeting you gave me your card and suggested that were I to have any doubts or questions that I would be well advised to contact authorities such as yourself through e-mail. I have such a concern and hope to communicate it herein.
At the conclusion of our meeting in January I felt entirely certain that due to the nature of my offense my admission to the honors college would be declined, and deservedly so. At the time this was no great concern compared with what I perceived to be the very real possibility of being removed from UIC entirely. As I said to Dr. *Names changed to protect the innocent* at our meeting (I think on Jan. 11th) I hadn't bought my textbooks based upon that contingent. However I found to my relief that there was no complaint filed and moved on, still a student though not in the honors college.
The Friday before last, January 25th, I happened to check my UIC e-mail account and found a half-dozen letters from the Honors College informing me of a new-student social and an Honors College Fellows reassignment. I expect this is some slight clerical error, in which my email address has been left on a list it shouldn't have. At the beginning of this past week I paid a visit to the Honors College office and asked in person, and to my surprise I was told that I was in fact a member of the honors college. So I read through these various letters, and sent an E-mail to this honors college fellow to set up an appointment, and then made another trip to the Honors College to ask what was an 'Agreement Form' which I had just then read I was required to have this professor sign, and also what the 'Honors Activity' was that I was supposed to do.
I was informed, again to my surprise, that the Honors Activity was something I was to have discussed my honors follow some weeks ago and have turned in on the very day that I was first asking what it was. The nature of Honors Activities and Agreement Forms I expect were related during the honors college orientations held in the weeks before the beginning of spring semester. I was pulled from my orientation for to sit for our meeting. As I've said I gleaned at that meaning that I was no longer in the Honors College, as it was in no way suggested that I make an effort to sit for a later orientation. Now I find that perhaps I was not removed from the honors college then, but may be removed from it now that I have found out only too late that I required some array of forms which I'd never seen previous to be turned in yesterday which are required of members.
I would characterize my main question about these past events thus, am I or am I not in the Honors College? If not then the emails and information I've received are erroneous and I may go forth with my classes. If I am, then it would seem that I am in an untenable situation.
I greatly appreciate any light you can shine upon this confusion,
