[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP here so thank you for your input. Some of the responses were a little harsh but I can see why you would say I stepped in too deeply and accept that. It was more of a knee jerk reaction and being shocked.

To clarify a few things- my D while not a perfect student is a very solid student, almost all B's all through college taking. very rigorous courseload (economics major) She has reached out to the professor and that will be her first point of. contact to see what if anything can be done. He was known as a very tough grader and apparently this is widely known among students and faculty.

My D is not trying to push this on the school, she has accepted full responsibly for slacking off after graduation to not check her grades, insure proper standing, etc....within a week of graduating she was off to another country to do an internship she had been wanting, she got so. involved doing that, she said it really never crossed her mind. In the meantime she was also applying for jobs and looking to relocate to a new city, she got a great job and moved. She has been working ever since. In starting to decorate her small new apt she asked for her "framed diploma" and this is where this craziness started.

I am not letting her off the hook and have told her how deeply disappointed I am. She knows that and she has accepted her part in this. That said, the school still should have communicated to her right away that this would affect her ability to get her diploma. Even the advisor admitted they failed in this instance. So toady she is supposed to speak to the professor, we will see where that takes her.

No I am not getting on the phone and speaking to anyone. I am going to let her handle it. I am hopeful it will work out and as many of you have stated serve as a valuable life lesson. I guess in sharing this story, its a wake up call to anyone else who might just assume they graduated.
