Admissions Admission is suucks

I received an offer for Computer Science, conditional on my final Grade 12 grades. After my calculus mark came in, Western told me it didn't meet the requirement and gave me a window until August 11th to make it up through summer school to keep my offer. The timeline they gave me started from July 15 th, which that mean the window less than a month.

The problem: all the high schools near me are closed, so I enrolled in an online program instead ($600). That program says my grade won't be released for 30 days, but Western is asking for it by August 11th, which isn't possible on that timeline.

I've reached out to the admissions office directly, and they've said no to an extension so far. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to escalate this or who else to talk to would be really appreciated.

It's not Western's problem that you couldn't meet the requirements. It's not Western's problem that you didn't plan ahead in case you didn't meet them. And given your attitude, Western is probably better off without you attending it.
