'I fucked up, rather royal, and i don't get to graduate, this may. Which wouldn't be more than an annoyance... if my family hadn't made Major travelling plans, around this. Party plans, graduation plans, travel, hotels, everything. And i fucked it up, by not replying to a fucking letter...
'The kind that said "Hey, you're missing a credit hour. You should talk to us about this." The kind to which i said "Pss! They're smokin' the Crack. I gots me My credit hours."
'The kind at which i should have looked, more closely, and done some math, to find that, no, they were right. Had i replied to the letter, i would have had a recourse. But i waited too long, and now there's... really nothing i can do.
'I've emailed my professors, and the director of graduate admisions, for philosophy. Tomorrow, i'm calling the dean of students.'
I've given suggestions of things i can do, and asked for them. But it boils down to: I fucked up.
If you sign up for a summer class with them to finish your hours you can typically get permission from the dean to walk with everybody, to do the ceremony a tad early since there isn't much of a ceremony at the end of summer classes. Although you will receive a diploma folder that contains the words: "Thank you for saving me!...But the princess is in another castle!"
Still, it shouldn't totally ruin the ceremony. Your situation happens often enough that most colleges have figured a Plan B.
