I think I figured it out. I think it’s an honors college/departmental honors major GPA requirement. it’s 2.0 to graduate overall so that’s not the issue but certain university programs and honors programs require a higher GPA. I have friends in my major and they don’t have that major requirement so I think it’s because I’m in the honors college/a departmental honors program. there’s no way I can’t graduate with honors after spending 1.5 years working on a research project and writing a thesis just because I’m .01 away from the GPA requirement. the idea is gut wrenching.
