So basically I can go into Dreamspark and it gives you a list of OS's for a "One time purchase." After you "purchase" a copy, it gives you the ISO to download and a standard activation key. I got windows 8 through this when I upgraded the main partition of my laptop a couple years ago and never had this much trouble which is why it's weird. I'm thinking the install got corrupted, for instance if I use the snipping tool and go to save, it keeps popping up a DLL error before it eventually works so I was going to try this

before contacting the IT dept. Honestly it'd probably be quicker to nuke the partition and install again than contact them lol xD.
I'll touch base when I get it sorted out.
