C+F: Degree being granted after Matriculation? Forum

[SD619]

A C+F issue will lead to my credits being transferred and my degree being granted from my institution, but not until May 2017. Since I already applied and have been accepted to law schools for 2016, this clearly is a huge issue. So essentially my undergrad says that I can finish my remaining 3 credits elsewhere and they will transfer back to my undergrad, but they still won't grant me my degree officially until 2017.

I'm trying to figure out a way to defer my top acceptance or matriculate without having my undergrad degree officially granted until 2017.

Im in a predicament and my biggest issue is I don't want to have to withdraw and reapply. I would be fine with deferring a year if that's feasible, and I do have health issues in addition to the C+F but I'm not sure how to navigate this.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

i think all you can do is ask to defer, attending without a bachelors won't be an option. the time off could be used wisely and be a net positive for you.

Thank you for that advice.

Anyone have tips on deferring in my situation so as to come out of this with a silver lining?

The only silver lining is to be straightforward with everyone and hope that they are understanding, let you defer, and then enroll in 2017. As with all C&F things, the big trouble doesn't come with the initial act, the big trouble comes with the attempts to evade/cover up. Please, just be open and up front.
