Two separate comments/separate issues here IMHO.

1. OP’s D may not have realized that she was over units. I have found that the academic advisors aren’t always familiar with the overages and charges. DS’s freshmen year he told me he had worked out a great schedule with his advisor. My first question was that it was an overage. He didn’t know the term…he learned that word fast and changed his schedule accordingly! My rule was no overage charges allowed.

2. I disagree completely that beginning ballet shouldn’t be a for credit course. I’m not sure if the objection is to the beginning level or ballet in general. Having raised a D who has danced for 16 years I appreciate the concentration and sustained effort it takes. Many students who take dance intend to teach dance, run dance studios, and most college level classes require students to choreograph their own works…
