What is the name of your state? CA
I attend a private, for profit professional school. This school is in trouble with the accreditation board based on very low test scores on a state licensing exam, and may lose this accreditation. A few weeks ago, there were rumors that the school would fail the lower tier of students in their last semester in a class required for graduation. If the students were prevented from graduating, they would be unable to take the licensing exam in the coming summer and would instead have to wait to take the exam at a later date, namely in the spring, where passage rates are already low. In this effort to boost their scores, they are failing students in bad faith. I am not the best student, but have never come close to failing a class, and yet I have failed this one. I will not graduate in time to take the exam. Is there any remedy?

Rumors mean nothing. A school/professor has a right to determine who passes their classes based on criteria. Unless there is no reasonable basis why you should have failed (great attendance and high scores on all assignments) then the school could fail you as long as they failed everyone else with similar scores and attendance.
