Possibly cannot graduate due to failing a mandatory course
Hi,

I possibly might fail a mandatory course which will prevent me from graduating this month from my four year program. In the event that happens, I will obviously have to retake the course. So, would I just be able to enrol at Mac for just one term in the 2015-2016 school year, or is there a mandatory minimum number of credits/courses I must be enrolled in/academic school year to even be considered a part-time student to fulfil my degree requirements?

Thank you for the insight.

You can enroll for just one course, sure. No biggie. But study hard regardless, it would suck to have to come back for just one required course.

Yeah dude, many people do that. They also take a bunch of other courses they are interested in along the way.

Make sure it's not offered in the summer tho.

That really sucks :(. Like others mentioned, you definitely can! But I would definitely check that it's not offered in the summer as mentioned above, but also that you can't take it at another university. If another university has the equivalent and you can apply for a letter of permission and possibly take it in May 2015, then you can graduate in the Fall 2015, in the November convocation!
