Student D thrived at the vocational college. After each quarter grade was posted, she would throw away her coursework, but keep a copy of her updated transcript. When Student D decided to change her residence, as is the case when moving, one purges those things that one once could not endure to throw away.
As a means to reduce the number of boxes that she would have to carry up three flights of stairs to her new residence, Student D decided to purge the box of academic documents. She hesitated to purge her college transcript, but reasoned that she would receive a revised transcript by the end of the month. Therefore, Student D did not wait until grades were posted before throwing her coursework, examinations, syllabi, and previous transcripts away.
When Student D arrived to college for the start of the quarter, she obtained an updated transcript and noticed that she had made the Dean’s List. She also noticed that one of the four classes that she completed during the previous quarter was missing from her transcript. Also missing from her transcript were the courses that were transferred from the community college, and the courses that she paid $25 each to challenge.
Student D, met with a campus counselor and the Dean of the college. During the break from classes the college decided to update its computer system.
