Failing a college class...

How many credits does she have? I assume this is toward a 4yr degree. If worst comes to worst, Rasmussen appears to be accredited so the credits could be transferred to another school. A lot of schools are generous with transfer credit. One perk of transferring is that your GPA resets and flunked courses drop off the transcript.

I personally didn't finish my masters in the allowed time so I can empathize with feeling that a lot of time was wasted. In this case, there are probably a lot of options.

That's where Rasmussen gets you. I was told my credits would transfer to any state university too. But when I tried to transfer them to MSU, damn near none of them were good there. So I am actually redoing 16 credits I have already paid for and earned. So just be careful of that.

I am now finishing my degree through University of Phoenix. MUCH better than Rasmussen and their staff is ten folds better too. Again, my credits from University of Phoenix won't really transfer either, but they don't keep you in the dark and feed you shit like Rasmussen did to me when I went there.

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.
