At this point in the semester, furloughs are becoming more routine. Friday marked the fourth administrative furlough day this year. But that doesn’t make them any less inconvenient for the students affected by them.

During Friday’s administrative furlough, some services such as the Henry Madden Library and the Kennel Bookstore remained open for students.

However, other essential services such as the cashier’s window and the financial aid office were closed for the day.

Some closures made it difficult for students to complete paperwork.

Patricia Diaz, a freshman liberal studies major, was unable to make a request for the documents she needed.

“I need to get official transcripts sent to my high school for scholarships,” Diaz said. “They need them by Oct. 1.”

Other closures affected students who sought advice on their academic schedules.

“This is the last week you can drop a class without a penalty towards your GPA,” said Carlos Vega, a sophomore.

Vega was searching for someone to assist him in dropping one of his classes at the admissions and records office, but the office was closed.

“Now, I don’t know if I will drop it,” Vega said.
