In this instance, I registered but they failed to register me for one of clinicals and I didn't review the registration form. Lesson learned. The instructor stated that she "thought" she put a grade in for me but in hindsight I was not on the roster and it was not caught by me nor the college. I, too, knew I was supposed to be there, showed up and completed the entire clinical and didn't notice until I checked my transcript about a week ago. I do, however, believe they will give me credit for completing the course after paying for it. After all, I have a written paper with my grade on it showing completion. Thank you for your feedback and time. This has just been a very frustrating disappointing process and I thought I was finished with the "completion" of my courses.

Hi. I have accessed and read these forums for sometime but this is my first post and I am in need of advice. I am an LPN that just completed my second level for my ADN. I currrently have 3 days left of my preceptorship and will be finished and prepared to take state boards or so I thought. I attend a community college located in the mid michigan area. When we register for classes the dean of nursing completes and/or signs our registration forms to ensure they are accurate. I registered for the winter 2009 semester with 5 classes. I personally took the form to the registration office, however, I have just found out that I did not receive a grade for one of my clinicals because the the college made an error and did not register me in the class. My form was correct, they input it incorrectly. I was not on the class roster but completed the clinical and have a grade from my instructor indicating I received an A. I called and they indicated that someone made an error and didn't register me for this course when given my registration form. If this course is not indicated as complete when my information goes to the state, I will not be able to take boards. I don't feel I should have to retroactively pay for the course when it was their error and my financial aide was long ago refunded. However, if they will not input my grade I will not graduate. This is on top of many trials and tribulations throughout the program. In the fall semester, the dean threw out the first 8 weeks of all assignments and assessements because the weekly agendas did not match the testing information and the entire class was failing. The instructor was assigned the course just days prior to the course beginning, didn't know how to use the online system and was using the previous instructor's materials without reviewing the for accuracy. They threw out our cardio and resp. tests and indicated that in it's place we would be given a "worksheet" to learn the material. We were give a sheet with 15 EKG strips to identify for the all of cardio. We addressed these issues as a group in a letter to the president and received a form letter back thanking us for our input and concern. But alas, nothing changed. For the past 2 years all of the online students have failed the leadership final. The dean was aware of this because some students from the last years class met with her over this. I was aware of this and wanted to avoid this instructor but when I requested to take this course onsite (along with 2 other students) I was denied by the dean because the class was "full". But when I asked the instructor who taught the class if it was full she said no (I had her for a clinical instructor). I could go on and on but won't. Any advice? I am considering legal action but hesitate to travel this road and certainly not prior to my information being sent to the state from the college.
