grand canyon university RN to BSN program

[Neesh88]

Hello, I finished my online RN to BSN 10 week capstone course last week and am waiting for my grade. I know passing is a 76% but there is a chance I might end up with a 75% or a 75.6%. I had a family emergency week 8 and I asked the professor for some leniency, because I could not reach out to her until after emergency. The professor is not caring or understanding. She would not let me submit my late discussion posts or resubmit one assignment to help me possibly pass. I even told her I can submit proof of family emergency for her. She did not care. The GCU late policy states that even though its 10% per day being late for assignment, in the end it is up to the professor their discretion. I think I probably won't pass. Is there someone I can talk to above the professor or in the department to help me? I really don't want to take another 10 week course again. I wasn't the best at papers or APA format but I worked hard. Any suggestions are a help. Thanks.

Please remember your Student Services Counselor (SSC) is a critical link in your chain as outlined in the University Appeal Procedures, p.130, of the current GCU University Policy Handbook. The policy doesn’t seem to offer much relief on just a brief read-through, but including your SSC in the process is clearly a step you must not omit. Approach your SSC with a positive, responsible tone. You can never tell when someone in that position has really good insights about how to address such a situation to your benefit. Assume the best and be persuasive, not pushy, and factual, not emotional. ’Best wishes for your appeal!
