" The Student Accounts Office will be working diligently to get all refunds processed as quickly as possible before the end of February. With over 5,000 bursary payments made to undergraduate students, we will not accept special requests for refund cheques at this time. "

Do we think that picking up the cheque in person at the Student Account Office, would be considered a "special requests for refund cheques?

It would technically make their life easier, save a stamp.

The unionized folks who work for McMaster will take any excuse to not do their jobs. With that last published statement, they will quite happily ignore any e-mail mentioning account refunds. They will probably also laugh at you. Just because they can.

I didn't email them, but I did ask the Financial Aid office. I got a very stern "No."

I also asked if there was any chance of receiving the cheques before the four weeks it takes to process them, and I got another "No."

I have a feeling that girl hates her job. Or I guess she might have been stressed from answering the same question several times over.

I don't think a single man works in that office, now that you mention it.

Seriously.
