[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow the rudeness here is crazy. I am sorry OP- you came for advise.

Here is mine, politely call the advisor and tell her that you were blindsighted and as a parent cannot afford for her to go back and take the class. She must be able to take it locally or online.

Then in a more firm tone explain that if there is no resolution you feel compelled to go to the team to let him know that the school failed to share with you that your D did not pass her class though I though in most schools a D was still passing? And did not earn her diploma. I know most deans would not want this going around and if you play your cards right, I can almost bet that he will work to make something happen to ease the burden of her having to go back to school.

All this said, your D bears responsibility here too, and I sure hope you will take advantage to teach her a life lesson, actually there are many here, but mostly personal responsibility. It would be a shame if she walked away feeling like she got mom to bail her out.

She is a young adult and many are not mature enough to handle these things, for some of these people to come on and name call is ridiculous and rude. She is growing up but needs to own that this was not solely the schools fault.

Good luck you, I can imagine you are very stressed. Hope it all works out.[/quote]

Surely advisors do not speak to the parents of their former adult students.  [/quote]
