Rescinded Admission

[ralfpc4]

<p>Hello,
With a little more than a month of school left, everything is going pretty smoothly except for two online classes I have been taking. I was admitted this past march with a likely letter to Dartmouth and was ecstatic. I never thought I would, but I caught a little dose of senioritis and procrastinated on two online classes I need to graduate. At this point I might not graduate in time to walk at the ceremony and might receive my Diploma a couple weeks late. If Dartmouth finds out about this, is there a chance my admission could be rescinded?</p>

<pre><code> I know that it is pathetic to slip like this and it is really freaking me out right now. Dartmouth is my one and only school and If I lost my admission, It would be devastating to me.
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advance for all replies</p>

<p>D doesn’t care that you walk, only that you graduate w/grades above a “D”. </p>

<p>Not walking = not graduating. Admission is contingent on successfully completing HS
Will you have to attend summer school? </p>

<p>It is not a matter of i Dartmouth find out but when Dartmouth finds out that you need to be concerned with as your high school will have to send a final transcript with proof of graduation to Dartmouth before you can register for classes.</p>

<p>Dartmouth states the following:</p>

<p>

Post-Decision Review
It is assumed that if you are selected for admission, you will continue to maintain an equal or superior level of academic accomplishment throughout the year. When reviewing the year-end record of accepted applicants, the Admissions Office will reconsider all factors that were considered when making the initial decision.</p>

<p>The College reserves the right to rescind offers of admissions where the final record is significantly lower than the record on which admission was offered, or for misrepresentation or misconduct.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that there will be students on the wait list who did not get senioritis and will walk and graduate with their class. </p>

<p>Yet your self together and do everything you can to graduate with your class in May/June ) whenever your class graduates.</p>

<p>If yes, when will your grades be on your transcript, and when will you be discharged as a graduate?
The one thing about the quarter system is that D starts later than many traditional semester schools.</p>

<p>OP said: “At this point I might not graduate in time to walk at the ceremony and might receive my Diploma a couple weeks late.” Would not appear to be a question of not graduating – just graduating a tad late. </p>

<p>Semantics, if you are not walking in the ceremony, you will not be graduating with the class. Many school districts have implemented no walk policies which mean unless you are getting a diploma on the last day of school, you cannot participate in graduation. This has happened as a result of students attending graduation ceremonies with out actually graduating (and not telling their parents that they have not graduated).</p>

<p>A tad late also depends on the summer school schedule. For example, in NYC summer school runs from July 1 to August 12. NYS summer regents exams are held on August 13/14 with grading done on by the 15th. Then the schools essentially shut down because Every one goes on vacation until August 25 (when Principals and APs return to school). GC’s who must certify students to graduate do not report to school until after labor day. In this type of situation, the student who must attend summer school, will be cutting it really close in hoping that they can be certified as a graduate and discharged before college starts.</p>

<p>Sybbie, I’m sorry, but I think you’re missing the point – or the two of us are talking at cross-purposes. The OP said s/he will graduate, but may receive the diploma after the actual ceremony “a couple weeks late.” Please read what s/he said. You keep harping on summer school, and that is not what OP is talking about. S/he did not say s/he would need to go to summer school but that s/he would be completing a couple of classes late. Totally different issue. And, not participating in the graduation ceremony (whether voluntarily or due to school policy) is not the same as not graduating. I don’t think you need to add to OP’s anxiety level. </p>

<p>I don’t think it will matter that much as long as you are graduating in 2 weeks.</p>

<p>The challenge is that if student does not graduate in May/June, whenever his high school graduates, he will not “graduate” until the next graduation cycle, summer. The amount of time he needs after graduation to finish the course does not matter, it is the cycle in which the school can grant an diploma.</p>

<p>For example, D works on a quarter system. A student receives an incomplete and has not fulfilled all of his requirements to graduate in June and cannot walk at graduation. Student finishes the project for the incomplete on June 20th, student will not receive a diploma on June 25th. Student be an August graduate. Student will not receive a diploma “a few weeks later”, student will receive diploma when diplomas/degrees are conferred the next graduation cycle. In 2015, student will be listed in the graduation program as an August graduate.</p>
