my guess -- what is happening

Isn't the first part considered an incomplete and didn't bees dismiss cheating or an incomplete? Or is the first part not considered an incomplete? The 2nd part is puzzling after all this time he's been enrolled at SU.
I would guess an incomplete would be if he had an excuse that the professor allowed which permitted him to finish the class after it was over. Blowing off a paper deadline, especially an extension is not an incomplete, it is an , if the paper was a significant part of the final grade.
 
You gotta think they would let him hand the paper in, if true.

Which reminds of a gfreat story my buddy told me from when we were at school. He took a class, and didn't hand in the final paper. (This was a classic move of his, I don't think he ever handed a paper in on time. His move was to email the professor saying attached is my paper, and not then 'accidentally' not attach it). Anyway, he gets his report card, has an incomplete for the class. Tries to get in touch with the teacher over the summer (took the class second semester) but the teacher is like very sick or something, not reachable. So finally the next school year starts, he tracks the teacher down, and tells him he sent him the paper, he must've lost it, he can send him another one if he needs, etc. Professor buys the story that he (the professor) must've lost the paper, and just gives him an A on a paper he never even wrote!)
My roomate at SU took a one credit class pass/fail class. Never showed up and was too lazy to withdraw then forgot to withdraw and figured one credit of "" wouldn't really screw up his GPA after 120 credits. When he got his grades, he got received a "pass" grade and earned a credit when he never showed up once for the class.
 
Cant comment on the transcript part (haven't heard that one) but issues maybe simplier then we think. If the issues are what I am hearing it will be explanatory if/when the decision comes out.
 
Too many wild guesses here. Just let it play out.
 
Bees, do you know when we will hear?

No. I am on pins and needles waiting to hear just like everyone else.
 
Announcement should be out by the end of business ie 4:30 or so. SU Mo is always as late as possible.

Whether or not he knows the answer, SU does tend to wait until the end of the day to make any annoucements.

i was referencing him making the comment but not divulging the details.

Can I take this post and bring it to the Fine Mess board, and retroactively date it to Nov. 28?
 
He failed to hand in a paper, after an extension, resulting in a failing grade. Also, there is an NCAA issue on his transcript, but SU has let him play through that.


So what are they appealing? Whether the dog actually ate his homework or not?
 
still not even clear if its an SU thing or an NCAA thing.. by NCAA rules for bball you could in theory fail all your classes in the fall and make them all up in the spring and still be eligible all year. not sure SU allows that though.
