I diligently investigated and determined that they worked for me, yes, BUT they were not working when I was logged in as her. Confused, as this is a rolling enrollment course I reached out to a former student to ask if she had had any problems. She had not.
I was baffled, having changed nothing. What was different about this student? why HER?
Then suddenly it hit me. Her rolling enrollment is not set to start until July 1. She was trapped in time between a time when her login works and a time where the course is operational, and I was so deep in the weeds with my current course load that I had failed to connect the name with a student who was not yet fully enrolled.
It felt like an episode of the Science Channel series "Through the Wormhole." I am still waiting for a Morgan Freeman voice-over to tell me that what is really wrong is my perception of the student is not as the student actually is, and some physicist will explain that we are all just grains of sand existing in mutually co-existant multi-verses or something like that.

This rolling enrollment model might yet roll me into a fetal position from which I can never return.
