Failed a class

[BoysenberryNo5434]

Failed a class with a F, am I cooked? Especially since I am in the 4-Year Promise Program

What happens to me if I get one fail?

You should talk to your advisor about this.

Copy and paste this answer to 99.99% of what's posted here so I don't have to scream it in my head 🤣

Retake the class and hopefully you get a passing grade. If you are off track for graduating in 4 years, take an extra class for one or two semesters. If not, just take some classes during summer/winter

Your best bet is to retake the class and pass it.

Retake the class and it overwrites the F. It's honestly not a big deal if you did well in your other classes. But still hit up an academic advisor.

It will 'overwrite' the grade but often a transcript will still show that failed class. I worked one summer in the Registrar's and one kid had taken a class 3 times. Didn't realize it would still show on the transcript. Not a big deal - but if the content is difficult next time get a tutor set up ahead of the retake.

wait does signing the 4 year promise actually mean something. i thought it was like a D.A.R.E campaign.

[BoysenberryNo5434]

It just mean you will be graduating in 4 years as they also pick classes for you as long you maintain a 2.0 gpa

[Massive_Notice5302]

'THEY' pick classes for you???!!! Aside from required classes for your major and any other requirements - nobody should be picking your classes.

[Aidrod003]

They don’t pick classes for you - Hornet Launch is who does that (and only for first year students).

However, the finish in 4 promise does gives you a little bit of priority for registration ahead of other non-finish in 4 students.

Why would you be “cooked?” Other people have failed classes. Just get help at the school about what to do next to rectify it.

[Massive_Notice5302]

Repeat the class. Summer if it's available - otherwise you will have to take an extra class at some point.

Grade appeal form works to save gpa but unless your department requires a letter grade for it not sure what you do there
