Student Health Hold

I have this student health hold because I needed a chest X-ray. I did the X-ray scan on Wednesday, Nov. 10th at UVa Hospital. On Thursday the 18th, I still had the student health hold, so I called various places in UVa Hospital and Student Health that were rather unhelpful. I was then forwarded to various other places in UVa Hospital and Student Health that were equally unhelpful. By the end of it, I decided that maybe I haven’t done the medical record release form.

After that, I went online to find the release form. When I saw it, I had a vague collection of filling it in before but leaving the “Information Release to” section blank. In any case, I printed it out, filled it in, faxed it up. Now Sunday the 21st, the student health hold is still there.

So, what should I do? I admit I’m ignorant of however UVa Hospital and Student Health administrate things around. I naively assumed that since the people in Student Health made the X-ray appointment for me, they had already worked things out so that the scan and reports would be automatically sent to Student Health afterward. Just give me a number to call or one person to talk to who wouldn’t push me aside and forward me to some place else, who would then forward me to another place where no one is present, and then I have to look up another phone number or person all over again.

I was supposed to be able to register for classes on Friday the 12th. Now the two sections of the two math classes I want are already packed with students. Section 001 of Basic Real Analysis has 15 on waitlist and Section 001 of Survey to Algebra has 13 on waitlist (I sincerely hope that the movement of people after Enrollment Appointment has ended would find me a spot in those two classes).

When is the last day that I have to register for classes?
