<p>According to the snipit clip here, the university “remains open to discussions” with Megan about re-entry into that program and class. [Judge</a> rules against Lehigh grad’s C+ lawsuit - Courant.com](<a href=“http://www.courant.com/mc-lehigh-university-student-sues-over-grade-c-20130214,0,2168427.story]Judge”>http://www.courant.com/mc-lehigh-university-student-sues-over-grade-c-20130214,0,2168427.story)</p>
<p>Even if she would have won, what are damages for a C+? The school only promises an education not a career. Also does a C+ ruin a career, not likely? Lehigh will be petioning for legal fees. The student will be filing for bankruptcy.</p>
<p>Chubby Checker is still alive? The things you learn on CC!</p>
<p>Sos, apparently a C+ disqualifies her from professional certification.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not to mention that any C-level or lower grade looks even more damning on a grad school transcript, especially when B is the minimum grade needed to continue on to the next higher course/pass.</p>
<p>Nobody gives a rats patoot about grades on a grad transcript in this field. Unless the person plans to pursue an academic appointment, its pretty irrelevant. The person would apply to take the licensing exam, and once licensed, is able to practice, whether in private practice or in a salaried position. The likelihood that anyone hiring her (or should I say hiring a generic LPC candidate, as she is probably going to have a lot of bad publicity to live down in future employment endeavors- so she should hang onto her current job) would ask to see anything more than proof of graduation and licensure is slim. The likelihood that she’d have to produce a transcript is vurtually nil.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This whole lawsuit was brought by the plaintiff because of the fact that C+ grade has prevented her from continuing onto the next course required for her to be eligible for state certification. Until she’s able to complete all the required courses, she won’t be certified according to the articles. </p>
<p>If that grade wasn’t the issue, there wouldn’t have been a lawsuit in the first place.</p>
<p>As for my previous comment, that comes from being around many academics and employers who hire grad students who are of the opinion that a viable qualified grad student shouldn’t be academically struggling to the point a B- level or lower grade is a possibility.</p>
<p>You do not seem to understand, Cobrat. You said that the C would look damning on her transcript. Regardless of what the requirements are for her particular program, I am attempting to explain that if she (or some generic person getting a degree in the field) had a C on their transcript but did complete whatever program they were in and sat successfully for their licensing exam, the grades on their transcript will matter not to a potential employer. Am not addressing the issue of the failure to be permitted to complete her program, just the statement that a C would look bad on a grad school transcript. It wouldnt.</p>
<p>Cobrat: the C+ does not disqualify her. It will, however, prevent it until somehow she makes up the class, which appears the University offered mulitple times. BTW even is she does get licensed, it does not mean that she would have a lucrative career. The c+ was a bump in the road, which she made into mountain. (BTW-Showing extremely poor judgement) The more I read, the more it smacks of a little rich girl who couldn’t take no for an answer.</p>
<p>I remember Chubby Checker’s suit!</p>
