The process by which students are screwed over by administrators and student advisers for not fulfilling complicated and obtuse university class requirements.

These requirements are often absurd, often being a half-year class that is only offered every other decade and is taught on a different campus altogether, and is sometimes seen as being a cheap final cash grab from the school.

The term usually applies to university students who are attempting to finally graduate and join the real world.

The process by which a student enrolled in any program at any level is fucked over by a York University professor or york administration for no apparent reason, usually stemming from a lack of communication but often can have no premise whatsoever

When York University has screwed up your life. Again.

Getting screwed by York University.

(verb) To be yorked is reminiscent of being jacked, dooped, taken for your money, ripped off or jerked around.

(adj) Yorky. When somethign is yorky it means it's chinsey, sketchy, shady or looks/sounds.seems like a rip off. Not to be confused with Yorkie - a York U student.

The word partly originated from the poor academic image associated with York University and a steep financial price you pay for your education there and party from the institution's seemingly random yet systematic ability to screw over its students while denying any involvement and offering no help.

York has a business-first attitude and puts students along with their education last. It mass produces students like McDonald's does BigMacs, with the same intrinsic value.
