[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, as a parent, OP is entitled to feel upset.  But the final buck stops with OP's DD.

OP states that the school dropped the ball because it the school failed to inform her that she doesn't have the enough credits to graduate. However, I feel like the final responsibility lies on DD's shoulder on several fronts, and the school needing to inform DD about the situation should be something that DD should have already known well in advance. DD should have at least:
1.) knew where her standing was in term of the grade for that class. Assuming this is unlike law school where a single exam determines your grade, she should have had an understanding that the possibility of getting a D over the course of the semester. 
2.) knew that getting a D means she would not get full credit for that class. 
3.) knew that she needed full credit for that class to graduate. 
4.) been proactively checking her status.

The college experience, and this situation for sure, is meant to train DD to be on top of her life skills (such as paying taxes, applying for her own credit cards, paying for bills,  etc.).  Hope DD learns her lesson.   [/quote]

Some colleges have a policy that certain courses can ONLY be repeated one time.  So if you fail Business Calculus, for instance, you can retake that course ONE time and only one time.  If you wait until the final semester of your senior year to retake the course and then fail it again....not sure what happens.  I guess you are required to change majors?[/quote]
