This allows those who pass with everything sans one course to graduate; this is usually in the form of a supplementary assessment/test/exam to sit. If this is available, this would be the easiest way to graduate on time and not worry about another semester. Talk to your course coordinator/a professor or TA whom you trust/student association.
Go through with the ceremony (I did) since there usually isn't any mid-year ceremonies and just enjoy the day knowing you're still on track to graduate, which is still an accomplishment - no matter when it happens. I failed three classes and got kicked out of my first school, and I still graduated eventually.
get involved with activities and people you admire/respect. You NEED an outlet TAKE BULLSHIT CLASSES I was all gung-ho and didn't, and I severely regret it. They relieve stress, pad your GPA, AND you need more credits than it takes for a major to graduate (unless you're a double).
Typically they have a probation system for such a situation. This system is meant to give students time to raise their grades before being put on academic suspension. So, if you fail freshman year, you're college will probably put you on academic probation as a first step.
The Consequences of Failing a Class A failing grade will likely hurt your GPA (unless you took the course pass/fail), which could jeopardize your financial aid. The failure will end up on your college transcripts and could hurt your chances of getting into graduate school or graduating when you originally planned to.
You may be surprised to learn that many students fail academically in their first year of college. One-third of freshmen students don't make it to their sophomore year. That's a huge number, and it worries everyone concerned with higher education.
But for some, that stress can have sweeping consequences on the rest of their high school career, and even their ability to graduate. In Washington and in Clark County, roughly one in five students fail at least one class in their first year of high school.
Failing & Then Re-Taking a Class Croskey notes that dropping a class is better than withdrawing, but withdrawing is better than failing. “A failing grade will lower the student's GPA, which may prevent a student from participating in a particular major that has a GPA requirement,” Croskey says.
The failing grade will NOT calculate in your GPA, but it will still show on your transcript. On your transcript, an "E" will show to the right of your failing grade to mark the course as "Excluded". On your transcript, an "I" will show to the right of the second time you took the class, marking it as "Included".
Colleges are generally more forgiving of low grades received in one's freshman year. So, although colleges look at freshman year grades, it is from a more “holistic” viewpoint. While low grades in freshman year won't drastically decrease your chances of getting into colleges, low grades in other years might.
Ultimately your freshman year grades are important because they will weigh into your GPA and affect your class rank, both of which are factors that a college admissions committee is very interested in.
Is a 3.5 GPA "good" in college? A 3.5 GPA is equal to a 90% average. Many employers and graduate programs use a 3.5 GPA as the benchmark. However, outside of the top 10 graduate schools, the average GPA for law, medical, and business graduate school are as much as 0.74 below 3.5.
Is a 2.9 GPA good? A 2.9 GPA means that you've earned mainly Bs in all of your classes. This GPA is slightly below the 3.0 national average GPA for high school students, so it will limit the range of colleges where you can expect to be accepted. 9.88% of schools have an average GPA below a 2.9.
A 4.1 is a very good GPA. You can expect to be accepted to many selective colleges with a 4.1 GPA.
Is a 3.8 GPA in high school considered good? The average GPA of graduating high schoolers is 3.0, making 3.8 a definitively good GPA. It gives you a reasonable chance of acceptance at even competitive institutions, so reach as high as you can!
For context, I'm a very very burnt out senior (I have a job, clubs, mental health issues, etc.) And if I wasn't graduating in May, I know that I would be dropping out or taking a gap year. Since I have zero motivation, my main goal for my classes is to just complete my assignments. Not try to get an A or anything, just get them done.
I'm not from the USA, but in my university most exams and midterms are coordinated by the head professor of each subject, so they are the ones that decide the dates, the content, the exam format, etc.
So, I told me instructor that I don’t be in his class today did a medical appointment. The truth is, I’m just really stressed and burnt out and I’m dealing with a lot in my personal life and I just needed to take the morning to rest.
I haven’t been in person since early 2020, idk how to school anymore. I have 1 history class and thats it. Im packing my backpack for tomorrow and all I have in it is 2 pencils, my notebook, and im going to put my tablet (since the book is online) Im also planning to bring a water bottle but it feels like so little.
I spent roughly an hour making sure I cited correctly in my essay, even putting my essay through Grammarly’s plagiarism checker. But even then I’m afraid Grammarly missed something that TurnItIn won’t miss.
I applied for university and was accepted for this fall semester. I told my parents my plan would be to move in and live in the dorms at my school. ever since then, my dad started telling me about this great idea he had to "go back to school" and get his bachelor's. I wanted to support him and told him it was a great idea.
Classes just started for a lot of us and unfortunately for me, some of my professors decided to not use canvas, which is a free site that our college requires professors to use for things such as homework and tests if youre online as well as posting other material.
I forgot to log out of the campus VPN and used it to watch porn for like 10 minutes. That account is linked to my student ID and everything
I go to the dining hall alone a decent amount, when my roommates schedule and mine don’t line up, and I think about asking others who are there alone to sit with them but end up deciding not to. Would you think it is weird, especially girls, (I’m a guy) if a random person asked to sit with you? And how would you feel about it?
It's been about 9 months. I'm pissed, wrathful even. This guy was gentle, kind, and an absolute badass all at the same time.
We had covfefe, grab her by the p***y, and "love the poorly educated" and we didnt run them into the ground like this stuuuupid infantile joke.
Why is everyone on there so weird and fake? It's like they forgot how basic social interactions work and just spam "I'm beyond excited to announce..." and post this nonsense about how to be successful/a leader/intelligent that they don't even practice in their real lives.
So last night I decided to cancel Netflix, Disney, Apple tv, Spotify, and my gym membership.
When I discovered reddit it was fun. Now it is less and less fun. Found subreddit with often great jokes, but because of bots there it is impossible to comment on the jokes, now you even need to pay if you wanted to coment (and it would still be taken down by the bots), but I just want to see the comments.
immediately threw my phone on my bed as my heart is racing and my hands are shaking but I managed to do one calculus problem and now i will check my phone to see if she said yes im nervous omg
Don't be the poor fool in my engineering class that refered to the professor with a doctorate in engineering as Ms.
Hi folks, hope you don't find it bothering that I'm a professor who lurks. But since Covid, I've joined this subreddit because I want to know what's going on with students' mental health, but don't want my students to feel weirded out if I ask.
I noticed some of my friends find it cringe / unfunny but I really appreciate it and actually find it kind of fun no matter how old the meme is. The prof putting effort into making us laugh and enjoy the lecture is just wholesome.
I like college. It’s fine. I’ve made some decent friends. I have a significant other. Classes are okay. Food is alright.
My roommate and I have vastly different sleep schedules. She goes to bed at 10 or 11 pm because she's unable to be productive later in the night and tries to wake up at at 5 or 6 am. I go to bed at around 12-2 am because I'm most productive later in the night and wake up around 8 or 9.
So in one of my classes the other day our teacher randomly brought up something that had nothing to do with literally anything. It had nothing to do with the class, it had nothing to do with our books, it didn't even have to do with the conversation we were having at the time.
The subreddit for discussion related to college. No admissions questions, cheating, memes, or illegal behavior/piracy.
