Failing a college class...

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.

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.

That smells VERY fishy to me. Something isn't right there. I would try getting a hold of someone higher up if you can. I have never heard of a school denying you the ability to retake a class. Let alone telling you that you have to change majors to graduate.
