New employee discovers they never graduated from college after company demands their college diploma, and they can't find it: ‘I found out I didn't pass my final class’

Getting your college diploma is such a satisfying moment. Here you are, dressed in those formal robes, ready to get the document that proves that you successfully completed the last three or four years of your higher education. Throw your cap in the air and say goodbye to one of the best periods of your life.

At least, that is how it is for most people.

For the person in the story below, their college graduation was not a great moment. Probably because it never actually happened… It has been a few years since they "graduated" from college, and they have barely thought about it since. But they have just been hired in a new company, and they were asked to provide their college diploma. When they could find their copy, they emailed their college to ask for a copy, only to be told they never actually graduated because they failed their final class. 

What should they tell the company, and can that cause the workplace to recind their offer?
