It’s only in very rare cases that your college course could be canceled when the instructor dies. This is because, in the majority of instances, there is a form of substitute. Furthermore, if you’re halfway through the semester, the institution will not allow you to view those last few weeks as wasted time. They want to ensure the class continues without interruption so that you finish on time. If a substitute professor cannot get found, your school might make arrangements for you to continue your education at a different university nearby. But, of course, this only is effective if the two classes are similar and you’ve studied a similar amount of content. It is much more likely in the case of graduate students than undergrad students. However, it is possible. If there is no possibility of ensuring that the course can continue, then this course is taken off. It is the responsibility of the university to decide whether you will receive credits in part in the class. If a new professor is identified before graduating, you’ll be able to take the course. If you don’t, you’ll need to choose a new one to get the credits needed to graduate.
