Failing a college class...

[Alpha D]

Heck yeah, no way a school should be able to do or CAN do that! Not even a private college! What they are pretty much saying is. . . . we wont give you your diploma. Unless you go for a whole nother 4 years or what ever she was going for. That does not make any sense. Advisor or straight principal of the school. I dealt with a similar situation it was resolved very rapidly once higher ups were addressed. It will maybe take time and effort but it will be worth it.

my credits from University of Phoenix won't really transfer either

Depends on the school that you are trying to transfer into. They all want your money, regardless of what they say...it is a business.

I transferred 18 months of UoP credits to the school that I graduated from. I ended up graduating from Excelsior College, which is a bit of a DIY college. It's definitely not for most people. 100% credit transfer though. Proceeded to enroll in grad school with that degree without an issue. There are tons of cool degrees for IT people these days...I had to be a business major.

I guess what I'm saying is that the education game really is a game and I'm good at puzzling out and playing that kind of game. Shop the credits around if you really want to transfer out...take the school that gives you the best deal. haha.

Its called a Dean, not a principal, we are talking college not high school. lol just giving you shit.

Anyways, first have her talk to the head of the Department that the class is part of. (sometimes this is the teacher) have her explain the situation where she dropped the class due to too much life stress and was having trouble keeping everything in line. And failed the second time due to extenuating circumstances. You basically need someone that can vouch for her that is higher than a counselor. you may need to fill out some paperwork and get it signed by the department head, then go to the deans office with it to get approval to retake the class. Be methodical and go through the levels and you will have better success than going directly to the dean.

HI guys, Thanks for all the info. This is said wife!
Wanted to fill you in on a couple things.
I am attending for my Assoicates Degree 96 credits for Medical Administration Full Time/Part Time 3 courses a quarter. I was set to graduate in June. One quarter left. :( No luck on anything yet. Waiting for call back from the Director whom I have left 3 messages for and finally was told he left early, after various attempts to contact him. Talked to councelor who told me my only option was to start over with a different Major that did not require that class.
Have looked at other Colleges IE: Minnesota School Of Business and Hennepin Tech both a little bit different not sure if credits will transfer.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Most schools have a policy that you have to withdraw from a course by a certain date or it gets counted as a zero. Based on the original post, I think she just didn't understand the implications of dropping her course when she did.

I can relate to burn-out...she probably just didn't care at the time.

You can also check to see if the school has a petition process. This process usually gets reviewed by the school board to determine if she can retake the class.

My gf was taking classes through that colleges branch here in Bismarck. She had to take a semester off due to our sons cancer situation and when she went back to do her classes they just dropped her. I cant remember their exact reason. But she would have had to start all over again. I was kinda pissed.

Got any names of who she has talked to? My co-worker is good friends with someone high up @ Rasmussen (might even be the dean if I recall), and I could run the name by him as well as the situation.
