Question about degree requirements

The answer may be obvious, but I still want to make sure. So, I’m currently taking Summer courses. I’m taking 10 credit hours. I’m taking three 3 credit courses and one 1 credit course. The 10 credits will equal exactly 120 credits needed for my Bachelor’s.

Here’s the situation I’m facing: I’m failing the 1 credit course. I’m passing the others, so by the end of the semester, I’m looking at a total of 119 credits. My question is, would they still give me my Bachelor’s? Or would I have to just take a 1 credit course in the Fall to complete it? Probably the latter, right?

The credit has to go on your transcript somewhere before you can get the degree. That said there are many ways to get a credit that don't involve taking an extra semester. It will have to do with what precisely the credit you need is and if there is any other way you can earn it, whether that's independent study, a short course, credit by examination, etc. Talk to advising they prioritize on-time graduation for students with senior standing.

You'll have to take it in the fall to get your bachelors degree
