Q: My school changed a rule where i have to go back to another class that i passed and got the credit
Hi I go to baruch. My school is making me take a class that I passed in fall 2017 again because they have change the rules.
I took precalculus and passed with an D. Then i went on to calculus and failed. Now during mid semester of taking calculus the school was encouraging studens to drop because the math department was looking awful compared to other departments. Then we were told that if failed calculus we need to take precalc again if you have lower than a c- in precalc. That you retake it and have to get a C- or above to take calculus. This is wrong i already took calculus yes i failed. But to go back and take pre calculus again while i already have the credit is ridiculous. I spoke to the dep of math at the school and they've metion that yes i maintain the credit for precalc but i have to go back and take it anyway and get a C- to take calculus. Which i already took. I took calculus once and failed but to go back while i already have the credit makes no sense what can I do?

A:
This is exactly the type of situation where we are often hired on a small initial hourly retainer (atty = $180.00/hr and paralegal = $75.00/hr) of like $320 and we simply solve the issue for you. If it ends up in litigation you can get attorneys fees back, but I bet a few phone calls a letters and you WILL RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THAT CLASS.
The law is clear that among all accredited US colleges and universities as well as high school that "a 1.0/4.0, or a D in letter form, demonstrates "the student has at least a minimal understanding of the subject, and should be awarded credit therefore...FURTHER, if a school refuses to issue credit, especially if tuition
was privately paid, the monies paid in exchange for said credit must be refunded AND/OR the student be allowed to re-take the class tuition free, until he/she does demonstrate a "minimal understanding of the subject" (BC that is really what you are paying for in college...credits...precisely 88 of them to get a BA or BS in 4 years.
Anyway, this is the type of thing we take care of all the time as an "untethered legal service" on a "limited retainer / limited power of attorney ... In fact, I can fix this for you in an hour as long as I have my paralegal work for an hour to help me...so I would just charge you that to cover the limited retainer (ie. fix this issue)... so $180 + $75 = $255 + $22.31 (fees/expenses) = $277.31
So if you want a free consultation visit our website at AG3law.com or text "legal inquiry" to 9149121555. This issue is straightforward though and, with the help of an attorney, me or anyone else versed in the area, can be handled cheaply.
Like I quoted above; I will take care of this for a flat rate of $277.31 (check or charge) or for $255.00 cash on a limited retainer basis. In the unlikely event litigation is necessary legal fees, of course, will be subject to renegotiation but I think I can handle this for you easily and cheaply
