you've been accepted...sike!

Hello everyone. I need the best advice possible. Put yourself in my position.

I was accepted into UNLV as a Pre-nursing major. The acceptance letter specifically says "you have been accepted into the pre-nursing program at UNLV for 2010 Fall semester."

okay. Before accepting a student into their school, they need to evaluate transcripts, transferable credits, etc. Obviously.

I accepted the admittance into UNLV. 1 week later, I speak with a nursing advisor to figure out what classes i need to take to become eligible for their BSN nursing program.

Then they tell me that I am not going to be able to apply to their BSN program because I retook microbiology (ive taken it two times at a community college) and received a "C" both times.

The policy is "a grade of B (3.00) or above must have been earned in either the first or second enrollment (an audit counts as an enrollment) in the following prerequisites courses: ...Microbiology (BIOL 251).."

She also tells me I am never going to be able to obtain a BSN degree from their program under these circumstances.

So I ask, why would they accept me as a Pre-nursing major, if I would not be eligible. Why did they overlook such a BIG requirement when evaluating my application and transcripts. PLEASE HELP

P.S. I plan on petitioning this to the Health Science Advisors. I don't think it is fair that they did this to me. It's not my problem that there is a flaw in their admissions system.
