A: A South Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option is to consult with a local attorney to discuss in detail. It's going to be difficult for any attorney here to offer meaningful guidance based on a brief description. If an attorney shows interest in handling the matter, they will likely want to investigate more thoroughly and look at the paperwork and the school's written policies. Good luck
