I got back from abroad last week. I was there for about a month. The only exam remaining for me to complete my BSL is Math and I am taking a course at Penn Foster for it.
I have completed all the exams at Penn Foster except for the last proctored one. I am yet to receive that exam.
I called Excelsior today to find out if by completing all my requirements by June 15th (that was the date they gave me earlier when I called them..in March) I would be able to attend the July 13th commencement ceremony.
The advisor informed me that the last date to submit everything was May 18th
This means I will not be attending the ceremony.
I feel quite terrible about it as I am had been really really looking forward to attending it. My husaband and I have also been looking for tickets to Albany since last week and this comes as a blow to our plans.
I know I can attend it next year..but am sure I will not be as excited about it as I am now as I will have moved on in my life and studies by then.
The advisor did sense my disappointment and asked me to write a letter to the dean explaining my eagerness to attend.
I do not see anything much coming out of that because it seems it takes a while to get everything processed and am sure they will not go out of the way for just one person.
I will be writing the letter though and will keep my fingers crossed.
