[quote=Anonymous]My college senior has 6 more classes in order to graduate (she took off a mental health semester during her sophomore year, and she’s been going part-time for a while).

She has ADD and anxiety/depression, and these online classes are incredibly difficult for her.  Part of her anxiety stems from using a computer; e.g., she’s not on social media, has panic attacks related to email, etc.

She was going to be taking 4 classes over the summer at her campus, followed by 2 classes in the fall, and then graduation in December.

Instead, she’s going to *try* to take the 4 summer classes online, and we’ll see how it goes.  But she is not going to finish her college years with a final online semester.  Those remaining 2 classes include 2 labs, and she loves her campus & profs and wants to be there in person again.

Our plan is for her to take a mental health semester off if the campus doesn’t reopen in the fall.  It would mean a May 2021 graduation instead of December 2020, but she’s willing to make that change.

If the college doesn’t agree, we’ll pay for 1 part-time credit simply to hold her spot.  Right now she only takes 3-8 credits per semester anyway (we pay on a per-credit basis). [/quote]
