University Policy. Is it ingrained in stone?

Here's my story:

*Winter semester*

I am an sfu student on a letter of permission to take courses at douglas college. In one course (calc), I recieved a C-. On the letter of permission it states that a C is required for the courses to transfer back to SFU. This worried me so I called SFU business advising and asked them to elaborate on the policy, and the woman said, "OH, well that's a cumulative mark! Don't you worry about that if you have a cumulative mark above a C." I thought, great, i have a B+ average so everything will work out.

I just tried to get my courses transferred back to SFU and that calc course didnt transfer. I spoke to advising and they said, "well, it's the policy. We can't really deviate from it." I asked them if there is anyone who has the power to make this exception, seeing that the difference between a C and a C- isn't a huge deal. They havnt really gotten back to me yet.

***

Have any of you had a similar experience? Any recommendations on who I can talk to about this issue?

I just wish SFU staff were better informed..

Thanks

    uhh what are you talking about...a C- to a C is a huge gap that's 1/3 of a grade point!

    Take it again and get a C next time.

    Christ, stop your bitching and whining.

    There is a huge difference between a C- and a C. There is no way that they would transfer that Douglas C- back to SFU.
