Discouraged

I completed my first year in radiography school here in New Jersey. I passed all my classes including the clinicals but I failed Exposure 2 class in which I got a 73.3. In my school you need to get at least a 75 or better. As you can see I was very close. The Program Director of the school said I can't take clinical this summer and she is only giving me two classes to take in the Fall 2009 which is an online course and a class called Biotech Review which is an elective. I also can't do clinical in the fall as well. This doesn't seem fair to me. There are least two classes which I think I can take. One is Physics for Radiographers and the other is Radiographic Procedures III.

Does anybody have any advise for me on this ? My parents are spending thousands of dollars on this program and it seems I am being punished because I failed one class but I was very close.

Thank You

You are lucky. In our program you are out if you get below a 75 on anything. No probation, no remedies, just plain out.

I am curious if you would think it was fair to not get your license because you received a 73.3 on your boards?

I agree with hjh "Close don't cut it"
