Hi rebel100!
Thanks for the advice! I'm glad it worked out too. Hopefully the take-away is....that this situation will have taught me plan ahead for emergencies better, especially in an accelerated 8-week formatted class. Also, maybe this instructor will note it on the syllabus for the course too. (It IS stated on the website, but to be honest, I had not visited the main website in a long while, just BlackBoard.)
Well, right now I'm waiting on my Technical Writing exam results to be posted to meet a prerequisite for my classes. This is another lesson learned. My very first DSST test and I didn't put the school code on the electronic form, so I had to fax in a manual transcript request. Ugh.
The registars office said that if they aren't there by Friday, to call and they will deal with it. Yeah, I am LOVING how great they are with the customer service. Never experienced anything like it. I'm kind of a "high-maintenance" student IMO, so the customer service thing is kinda big.
Once all that is received, I'm going to do two classes each 8-week term (with a few tests). So I should be on track to graduate a little after May if all goes well and hopefully grad school to be a Instructional Designer for online learning students. *fingers crossed*
Glad I found these forums. Can't even tell you how badly I was feeling about my past eff-ups, and then it felt like I was trying to do the right thing and got stuck on a technicality. So you all are my voice-of-reason. Haha.
Thank you bunches.
