Notre Dame still an option for Standifer?

  • I think unless something changes we need to move on as apparently he is now and accept the fact that for whatever reason it did not work out and cease being upset about something we can not control. We have nio control if it was his decision or the admissions department,

    I need some clarification. Did he take an online spanish course that ND refused to accept or did he refuse to take an online spanish course in order to comply with ND's curricular requirements? If he did take an online course that ND didn't accept, then why the hell wouldn't ND tell him which online courses they would accept before he enrolled in the unacceptable one?!!!

    To my knowledge, ND only recently told him whether an online course would even be acceptable.

    I'd be shocked if ND would accept an online course. If they do for him, they obviously have to do it for all ND applicants, and then if they do it for spanish, they run the risk of having to do it for all subjects.

    Not where ND admissions wants to go, and I don't blame them.

    This isn't the SEC.

  • I agree but remember we were seemingly willing to take Arik's on line class he was taking so he could EE. Who know maybe they would not and that is why we were dropped from the hunt but I doubt that. I do not think you can take an online Spanish course .

    Sure you can take one... kids do it all the time to graduate... but in retrospect, I agree with ndftbl, it is a slippery slope that we're best avoiding... although less slippery than Yuri Wright

    Be an interesting thing to find out. I am shocked ND didnt accept the course unless the course did not meet the criteria ND is looking for to accept the credit. As someone who took courses elsewhere that ND accepted, the criteria is specific and defined. As long as the course has all the elements they are looking for and from an accredited source (can't just invent an online course for ND to accept for example), they usually accept it. Now that was before online courses so not sure what ND's stance on an online course is (in and of themselves). I wonder if you took an online course that a accredited university gave if that would be acceptable.
