Senior Seminars were the same at my high school so many years ago. It was a pain to do, but many of us did it then. Imagine that, being unable to get a diploma, after putting in so much work and effort already, because you failed this Seminar that was thrust upon you at the last minute, like our was. As you say, though, it's nothing to do with any sort of major.
