<p>Do not continue on as if he didn’t know. It’s would be a lie since he has received an email telling him is ineligible for the class. Even if he truly didn’t know, it would be unlikely that he would be allowed to continue if the pre-req. wasn’t fulfilled with a satisfactory grade. If the univ. allowed that there would be hundreds of other kids trying to do the same thing.</p>
<p>My S2 thought he had everything lined up to graduate in May(has enough hours) but while completing his senior summary with his advisor three weeks ago was told that one of his electives should have been a “writing intensive” class which S2 somehow had missed along the way and adviser had not noticed it until now that he’s about to graduate…ugh. Because of this and having to do a required internship, he’ll have to do summer school and won’t get his diploma until Aug.<br>
I too made a D in a “must have” class my freshman year of college. Had to go to summer school to catch up. </p>
<p>This is all to say that stuff like this happens all the time at colleges.
So I doubt that they will bend the rules for your S. Trying to game the system will prob. hurt him in the end. I would have him see an adviser on the first day of class to get his schedule worked out so he will be on the right track.</p>
