Majority of Class Not Passing

I wanted to know if anyone is aware if there are any laws or percentage requirements for schools to continue to thrive if majority of current students will not pass (more than 60% of my current class, in our last semester does not have at least an 80%, our passing requirement).

I highly doubt there are any laws on the books unless they are related to eligibility for receiving financial aid. However, what you can research are accreditation standards that are required. These can be found by going to the websites for accreditation groups, including ACEN's accreditation manual.

I'm not sure if its a law but my current class of 15 majority of us was not passing. I talked to my teacher and she said its all politics meaning because my school receives money from the state, they can only drop a certain amount *2* and nothing less or the school wont receive funds for next year.

Now I'm scared I'm in my last semester of school and our first test is Monday. This gives me chills

That's how this term was for me and my class, but at the end the instructor helped us out and majority of us made it out.

Oh goodness what class is it
