College Allowed Me To Graduate, Then Revoked My Status After Graduation Without Telling Me

Location: Pennsylvania

I recently graduated from a public university in Pennsylvania. I walked across the stage, and my graduation status was approved. After months spent applying to jobs (in this already terrible job market) to no avail and limited responses, including denials. I decided to look into things and email a very helpful professor of mine. They looked into things and told me that my graduation status was revoked around 2 weeks after my graduation due to incomplete requirements. I was never alerted of this, and it does not state what those requirements are. After looking further, we it was a lack of a language course. This is usually excused for my major if you have sufficient high school experience. I was under the impression mine was, and was not alerted before graduation that this requirement was missing.

I feel as though a lot of these things could certainly be my fault. I was dealing with a lot of medical issues and eventually a medical disability (epilepsy) and might have missed something in graduation planning my senior spring semester. Although I am still a bit confused as to why the university allowed me to graduate just to revoke it 2 weeks later.

I have loan payments due in November, and I feel as though this has impeded on my ability to get a job, or even an interview, without me ever knowing of it. My partner wants me to take legal action, because of the fact that I could have lost job opportunities, days' worth of time, and "emotional distress". I put that in quotations as I am very distressed, but I don't think that is a strong enough reason for legal action.

At the end of the day, my worst option if there was no error in the system, is to take an online course for the language requirement, thus changing my graduation date. I am alright with this, but as someone with loan payments coming up, I cannot afford to pay out of pocket for a class. I am also unable to drive due to my epilepsy, so most part-time positions are impossible for me.

If anyone has any advice, or thinks there might be a basis for legal action any help is appreciated.
