OK, so a lot of people have a recurring dream where you have to go back to high school because you missed a graduation requirement, even though you’re a grown-ass adult. But I’m curious if anyone knows what would actually happen in this scenario. Would they wave it off, or would you need to take a college class, or get your GED (or equivalent)? Any educators out there to enlighten us?


Once you graduate they won’t undo it. That paperwork is moreorless Final.
My grandfather had that happen with his masters degree, they never scheduled him one of the required math courses for his degree(he always went through the advisors office to schedule), and had told him he was all set to apply for graduation, so he did and they just blindly signed off on it. It wasn’t found out till after everything was finalized but they basically said “yea that’s on us, enjoy the degree”
