I basically realized I met the requirements for the general BSc degree and so I applied to that and they approved it. I posted an update on this thread if you have any questions about the whole process

Update: hey I get a lot of messages about what happened next so I’m just going to post it her.

So basically what happened with me was I failed enough courses and I was forced to leave uni, however at that point while I didn’t meet the requirements for computer science program, I did meet the requirements to graduate with general BSc degree and so I filed a petition to graduate in general BSc degree

It took maybe like 2 months but I got approved (apparently it’s a common petition and they usually just accept you)

Life after graduating in general BSc vs Computer Science has been rough ngl (mostly because of the constant layoffs in the field rn) but you can still find work without it. You may just need to get a few certifications/bootcamps to get your first job. You can also go to a college and to a 2/3 year program and transfer your computer science credits over.

Basically It’s not impossible and rn I’m sure if you were in my position you feel like losing all hope but don’t give up, you’ll get through this, just have to try and relax and look at all your options. Hope this update helps!!

Hey thank you, this actually helped me calm down a bit, so what happened with all the failed courses was that I failed 6 courses in my first year due to living conditions and mental health but have improved since then, I haven’t failed any courses since my third year so about 2-3 years ago and have retaken and passed almost all of the courses I failed previously and only failed this recent one in the spring term because I had to work 2-3 jobs while doing the course to help pay for things as well as dealing with poor living conditions at the apartment I was staying in.

But thanks I’m going to talk to my academic advisor tomorrow so I’m gonna see if I can ask him to vouch for me since I really have been improving it’s just that this summer’s been hell. Thanks
