Question Freaking out over blank grade rn

Supposed to graduate this qtr and one of my classes still has a blank grade for some reason??? Its a lab and everyone else’s grade has been released except mine. The lab isnt in the list of classes that have late grades either so im freaking out a little. I heard that this means there is suspicion of academic dishonesty? I dont see how thats possible given i wasnt cheating on any exams or writing my lab reports with ai or something. I emailed the lab professor and its been radio silence so far but maybe cuz its the holidays. Anyways im losing my mind a little bit and idk what else i can do.

Yea I get you ig the best course of action is to backtrack to anything of the sort and wait for that email. Best case no email ever comes but worst case you have an argument for the AI

Wait for a response, if they happen to accuse you of AI and you know for sure you did nothing wrong - be ready to defend yourself against the AIO. If you did though, it’d be best to take the L and move forward. It’s not gonna be the end of everything. If you still don’t get a response even into winter quarter, I would reach out to an advisor to figure out what’s going on.

The way they do it is essentially set up a zoom call and show you what specifically is causing the AI violation. They will usually compare and contrast your work with what was allegedly plagiarized. However it really varies case to case, since you mentioned labs and tests for this class, and you seem pretty confident that tests were likely not the main concern here - it might be the labs. If you worked with people on the labs it’s possible they might have plagiarized something and by doing so they threw you under the bus, or you might have not cited something correctly. As an outsider I really cannot be sure, but gather as much evidence that you can support your case. I wouldn’t start doing this until they reach out to you. Until then, enjoy your new years eve and good luck.
