Geezer and BB, you made my day! I needed some good news...Thank you.
You both have been an enormous help to me and many others on the forum.
Well, I consulted Thomas Edison's policy regarding course extensions:
Students may not apply for (or be granted) an extension after the last day of the course.
I don't think there's any way to get around it....Looks like I will be retaking the course. This time, I'm shooting for a GPA of 4.0! It's not the end of the world, but it's a hard lesson. Experience is the best teacher.

Levi,
Oh well, it was worth a shot. Whether you get the extension or retake the course you are only 3 credits away from your degree!
I second Geezerâs comment, "You should be proud of yourself! We are!!!" Well said Geezer, well said...
I couldn't agree more.

Levi Wrote:The only course for which I received a letter grade was TESC's guided study course, Managerial Communications. In my ignorance (and my rush to meet the graduation deadline), I was only trying to pass the course, not get an A. Therefore, (and I'm ashamed to say this) I intentionally skipped the Final Project which counts for 20% of your entire course grade. :o
Even though I got a zero on the Final Project, my written assignments and mid-term scores were all high enough that I ended up passing the whole course with a C-.
I did this
exact thing as a freshman with my B & M Intro to Sociology class. I only needed a "C" to get my tuition reimbursed from my employer, so I intentionally elected not to do the final project. The prof was aghast when she calculated my grade (I guess I would have had an A). Oh well. I was 19... priorities, you know! :p
I'm glad you are finally able to graduate, and with a 4.0 to boot! Cheers! cheersmate

Thanks Burbuja, even though it
is pretty silly that the 4.0 is only from one class.
