Mohawk IT - Current state of affairs.

Well, it seems that Mohawk's IT department is still on life-support.

Another Mohawk College student who I now work with, who will also remain nameless, had a difficult time the other day when attempting to pay his Mohawk tuition fees online, therefore "skipping the lines" (as the website says), only to be faced with a MySQL error, and having to do the process again, first, ensuring his tuition is paid correctly, and second, to be charged double what he was supposed to be.

Honestly, if you know of nothing else, it's very obvious by even this isolated event, that the IT department at Mohawk is on life-support AT BEST. Clearly their web developers are focused on completely the wrong things, if something as important as having a STABLE AND SECURE PAYMENT SYSTEM isn't upheld.

Of course, you don't have to take my word for it.
