    Default University Criteria for Awarding a Degree

    here happens a serious case.. my undergraduate degree is chemical engineering.. and my potential master degree is master in computer science.. my current program is an interdisciplinary program, after I finish the program requirement which consists of only one course in computer science... this summer, university finally agree that I will be awarded the degree after I finish the program/coure requirements of this interdisciplinary program....

    What a amazing agreement!!! I can't be a computer engineer after I finish the program but I will be awarded the degree in computer science... it's really amazing..

    Do you think that the university will cancel my degree even after I am awarded the computer science degree??? if cancel after the degree ? how much compensation will i have... i can't believe that the university can award their degree so radomly and so easily.....

    You either qualify for the degree or you do not. If you do not but were told in error by... somebody... that you will receive it, you cannot sue the university and make them give you a degree you know and concede you have not earned.

    There are at least 52 different editions of US law. There are 50 state laws, the laws governing the District of Columbia and Federal law. Which one do you want?

    NOTE: Under none of them can you sue the university for rescinding a degree that you did not earn and were only told you would receive in error. In none of them has the university violated any laws by making a clerical error and mistakenly advised you that will obtain a degree when you actually will not. In none of them are you entited to a single penny in compensation.

    Now, with that in mind, which US law are you interested in?
