Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My 19DS is in his last semester of high school. He has already received an offer of admission from a very good university. He has accepted that offer and they're planning on him showing up in August.
Only problem is, he may not pass his last semester of English. In this case, I'm not sure if he will actually graduate from high school.
With his older brother, I believe the university he attended required him to prove that he graduated from high school. I know some schools check final semester transcripts to make sure the grades stay in a reasonable range.
With 19DS, his school has given him a list - both in a printed mailer and in an online checklist - of about 20 things to do before starting in the fall - submit his immunization record, pick out his dorm room, etc. Notably absent from both places is any requirement to send his last semester transcript or prove he graduated.
Has anyone here gone to a school that lets you not graduate high school? Other than telling him to buzz off if they find out, which is obviously a possible outcome, what are the risks to him if he doesn't officially graduate? Is there some rule or law saying universities are supposed to check this stuff?
Currently my thought is if he doesn't pass English, I'll suggest he attend summer school and get that last credit there. He might also get an incomplete from the instructor and finish it that way, but I haven't suggested either of these to him.
