I got an email last wednesday that four of my classes were not going to be accepted for my graduation. It has been a long road thus far, and to now be told I can't graduate after everything is just awful. I don't know the reasons, but I have an appointment today at 10:30 with the Department Chair.
Everything was approved by the old dept chair in 2008 and I have an email that states that I have all the lower level electives already (the classes in question now) and last year when I went to the new dept chair he said he would not normally accept them but because the other guy did that he would honor that. this year I have been running around to another advisor trying to get everything finalized. he cancled 3 appointments and was 20 minutes late to my final appointment. He signed off on my degree plan and everything was supposed to be in order. Then classes got posted for us to look at 10/27 and 2 of my classes i needed werent being tought in the spring so that was another ordeal trying to get two classes substituted. registration started monday nov 1 and i didnt find out until nov 4 what classes were ok to register for. everything was supposed to be ok.THEN, i got an email wednesday. stating that four of my lower level transfer classes werent going to be accepted bc they needed to be upper division. From the email I got from the old dept chair I had all the required upper level courses already. so i emailed him back that everything should already be approved. he emailed me back and said it was getting to difficult and i needed to resolve this with the dept chair. then i got an email from the dept chair the he is refusing to accept those 4 classes and that i need to make an appt to further discuss it.
I am so frustrated. I am supposed to be graduating in may. i make good grades i am in the department honors society and am the secretary officer. Ive finished all my community service already. I am being inducted into the national college honors society tomorrow (top 10 % of school!) my gpa is a 3.5 i have been trying to do everything right and now i am being told i cant graduate?!? and that i may have to go another semester to get 12 more hours in because he wont accept what i have already taken? that will push me back another 9 months from may to december for me to graduate. Why wasn't I told from the begining those classes weren't going to be accepted? Even the advisor I saw this semester signed of on my degree plan for me to graduate. shouldn't he have known that?
Well my appointment is in 2 hours and I am so nervous. I don't know whether to cry or yell. Wish me luck
