hey there,<\/p>\n

you can’t petition to retake an exam or to redo the work. the only exam-related things you’re allowed to request are rechecks or rereads of your exam<\/a>, which might result in a higher mark – though i would advise against doing these options if you don’t actually have a reason to think your mark should’ve been different.<\/p>\n

if you were right on the cusp of passing (i’m talking 48%, 49%), you may want to e-mail your instructor explaining that you’re graduating, and asking if there was any way they might bump up your grade.<\/p>\n

otherwise, you’d probably have to take that class again and pass it in order to graduate. hopefully, it’s offered in the summer<\/a>, so you can do it then and graduate in November.<\/p>\n

if you need some more guidance on this or your options generally, i’d highly recommend talking to your registrar’s office<\/a> about it. there’s something about talking with someone face-to-face that can really help you sort through things.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
