Advisor misadvised me

Hey everyone. In january I provided my advisor a list of classes and asked if everything was needed for graduation.

She told me I needed everything except 2 classes and recommended one of them if I plan to do graduate school.

I went ahead and dropped those 2 classes.

3 days before census day, I emailed her again asking if I the classes im taking is enough for graduation and she said yes.

2 weeks into the semester, as I’m reading policies I realize a D is passing and did not need to retake one of the classes I am registered for. I emailed her and she said thats correct and I didnt need that one either.

I contacted the bursar office with evidence and they said they are happy to appeal it but told me I needed to drop the class immediately.

Took them weeks to file the appeal and they rejected it with 2 reasons:

  1. Law doesnt allow refunds

  2. I dropped the class for no reason.

I’m being led in circles by the bursars office and my schools dean and advisor. Any recommendations?

The school owes me over $2500.
