Adelaide Uni Merger Causes Student Struggles

0:00It's February 26th in Adelaide. Let's get into the news. Students at the newly merged Adelaide University are dealing with frustration over poor communication and enrollment glitches. Many worry these problems could stretch out their degree time minds beyond what they planned. The university admits the issues stem from the merger and promises to fix study plans for anyone affected. A few weeks into the term, some students still lack complete study plans. For instance, one criminology student switched to online classes after her minor got cut, leaving her two weeks behind and scrambling on assignments. She spent two hours on hold for help and got no email replies, adding major stress. These hiccups hit hard, especially with first year fees around $12,000 at risk if credits don't transfer properly. The 19-year-old dreams of becoming a forensic investigator, but fears an extra year of study now. University Deputy Vice Chancellor Tom Stier says most students are enrolled in starting classes with just isolated cases left.

Meanwhile, some students report little progress, like getting fee and voices before issues resolve. Officials say billing must continue, but they're working through backlogs, including a recent accreditation snack for human research projects.
