I have a very competitive application, but will be missing one class I need to graduate.
Seeing as I would get my acceptances in the winter as a college senior, how would the grad schools ever know that I didn't actually graduate?

No, you cannot go to grad school without finishing your undergrad degree.
Graduate admissions are offered CONTINGENT on timely attainment of the bachelor's degree. The administrators in the graduate school require submission of your final transcript after you've finished. If your final transcript does not indicate successful completion of your undergraduate degree, we rescind your acceptance. Period.

The final transcript is always required upon graduation. So ur acceptance letter is conditional upon that last transcript. I'm in grad school, and I've been through that process before. Nothing skips these school. Plus if u get caught, u might be in a big trouble and get banned from applying to any other grad schools. U don't want to start ur career w/ a black point on ur file. It's similar to cheating, which grad schools don't tolerate. Plus it's only one class, just take it and get ur undergrad degree. It'll feel all worth it when u graduate.

Acceptance will be conditional upon your graduation. I assume this is a purely hypothetical question and that you would not lie on your application or consider it appropriate to leave your undergraduate degree unfinished and enter graduate studies on false pretenses. But since there are some folks who would do just that, they require final transcripts.

B Thankful U have a job (part-time Jobs) first of all... There's a lot of pressure to get good education and then get the "Career Job you always wanted" that's great in all if it goes that way. But in the real world things always don;t turn out so smoothly. Keep at with the schooling, and working as much as needed to pay the bills. Remember, education is an asset it can only benefit you in the long run, no matter how long it takes!!!

Why not just take the last class and get your bachelors degree? Seems silly to risk a faulty application when you could spend a few weeks and finish. They will check your transcripts, so don't bother try to get it past them.

They will know because they always ask to see the transcripts as soon as your degree is posted in them.
