Difference is, as the parent post said, they don't have to give you a degree. There are all sorts of strings attached to that. You pay for the possibility of a degree; they are not obliged to hand them out.
As an aside, I'm not sure this would be governed by contract law. In .au, this sort of thing has been the subject of administrative law cases...
- loup-vaillant 16y agoWait a minute. This sounds like they can deny you a degree, based on facts that (1) have nothing to do with your abilities, and (2) have nothing to do with the university at all. We have a word for that: "discrimination". Under which wicked jurisdiction discrimination could ever be considered legal?
- dagw 16y agoIf you have done all the work and gotten all the grades necessary for a degree, as stipulated by the university, then they probably can't deny you one. However they can deny you those necessary grades if they haven't been awarded yet.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoOf course they can. But on what grounds, if you eventually ace your exams, and do nothing wrong within the university?
