I’m looking to get some guidance on this situation, and I hope this is the right sub for it. My son has been in community college for 5 years to get a STEM Associates (AS) degree in computers. He is high functioning autistic and has epilepsy, so it’s taken him some time to finish up the program due to his mental health problems. He finished up the last class in June and was at 100% for course fulfillment and applied to graduate. Last week them came to him and said he’s still got 2 classes to finish. Turns out the previous head of the department (and advisor) suggested he take class XX for class X and YY for class Y and signed off on it. Now they’re telling him that should not have happened, and he’s not met the requirements. The previous Advisor has since retired in June. I’m furious because I’ve seen this kid struggle and overcome so much to finish this up only for them to say he’s done and now oh wait…you’re not done. Mind you one cannot register for any classes without advisement and all these classes had to be signed off by the Department and Advisor so apparently it was Ok when he took them. I think it’s unfair for them to essentially punish him for not having the course work done when an advisor, a representative of the school, signed off that he was “good to go” for the classes only to come back to him when he applied for graduation and tell him otherwise. In the past they’d override and grant the replacement courses sufficient but they no longer do that. Furthermore, one of the classes isn’t even offered until the Spring 2025 semester! I’m going to talk to the Dean of the department first and I’ll file a grievance if necessary but how else do I approach this?
