When is it appropriate to use a semi-colon ";"?

Quick hijack.
In my freshman year English course, we had to edit a classmate’s paper. This girl leaned over and asked me why there was a period over a comma. At first I didn’t get what she was asking me, once it hit me I just about died. How do you get to college without knowing that it is not a period over a comma, it’s a semicolon!!! I tried to explain it to her but she just didn’t get it. *sigh*
