One Credit Short
I never graduated high school, but I have an engineering degree. I moved from one province to another and skipped a year of school halfway through the year, missing a grade nine tech credit.
During graduation, they called my name, I went up to the front, accepted my diploma folder, took photos with the principal, sat back down, and opened the folder.
There was no diploma. All my friends had diplomas in theirs. I met the guidance counselor the next day and asked what was up.
She told me I was one credit short but the university I applied to had already accepted me based on my mid-term grades without seeing a full transcript.
The guidance counselor made the issue go away…and I successfully attended university and got my degree. Story credit: Reddit / bisantium
