If you truly know for a fact that you will fail the Statistics class, then go ahead and fail that but make sure you pass everything else.

This probably won't help....but some teachers will let you get an "I" grade or Incomplete. I did this for my senior design project class....and by getting that Incomplete (in May)....I ended up with 6 more months to turn in my project,...and I turned it in the following December and got an A- in that class.

To me, if all you have left is that one class, and that degree is not going to affect you getting that job...then just start working at the job for right now.

YOUR new job, might work something out with you to take that class while you are working. (is your new job very, very far away from Baylor ?)

The economy is not GREAT so to me TAKE THE JOB while that job EXISTS.

Especially if the degree will not affect you getting that job.

Also, it STILL looks good to have a resume and say "only one class short" of having such-and-such degree.

In the future that college MIGHT start offering online classes...so just wait till they finally do that....then take the class at that time.

After the semester is over.....you need to go in person and talk to the DEAN OF _______ WHATEVER department you are in.

SURELY they have the authority to make an exception for you.

IN FACT....What you should do is TAKE THAT IDENTICAL statistics class at ANY COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

AFTER you take that, and AFTER YOU HAVE PROOF that you passed it (at an accredited college)....They might cut you a break and let you transfer that one class.

In theory, you could even put on your resume....completed all coursework for this degree. (Because you did).

Just don't say when you graduated. just write "college refuses to accept my credit for statistics and wants me to take the class twice for no reason"
