Tampa, FL asked in Education Law for Florida

Q: Do I have grounds to sue university (public)

I recently was admitted conditionally to a MBA program. Conditions are that I complete my minor (2 classes) this semester and make a 3.0 gpa in my first year (starting spring) and complete 3 classes. 2 2 credit hour and one 3 credit hour. I decided I want to go part time because I work full time and am taking the CFA exam in spring. They told me I will not be able to do that because they are changing the curriculum and I couldn't start until fall unless I go full time in spring all the way through summer. I still need to reach out to the dean Monday but I want to know if he sticks to his guns with the aforementioned do I have legal right to sue since there is nothing in the letter saying I need to be full time and this will set me back almost a year?

A: No, you would not have a case. The school does not have to accept you.
