In fact, the decision to get a diploma is not in his hands. Of course, it can affect your scholarships, grants and so on. So it also played a big role. My point is, during college, try to avoid conflicts with counselors. First of all, in interpersonal relationships, counselors are your teachers after all. You should have basic respect for them and reflect your views and suggestions to them appropriately. The most fundamental thing to get a diploma is from your own achievements. Teachers only play a small role, so there is no need to entangle with them too much in this matter.
The reason why the counselor's sentence is related to the diploma is that a large part of the reason comes from the pressure of managing students, so this way gives students some pressure. In my opinion, college students should first be themselves, and the pressure of management will be reduced, so counselors will naturally talk less. Therefore, the two are interrelated. Diploma degree certificate is the proof of learning achievements during college, which is undoubtedly very important for every college student. As teachers and counselors, I believe they don't really want their students not to get diplomas. Only in this way can we make excuses for managing college students more conveniently, so as to solve problems better.
In short, we should understand the counselor's good intentions. They are good for us. If you can't get your diploma, ask him for it and give him trouble. He will also be scolded by the leader and may be punished. We should also be considerate of our teachers.
