failling course in community college, chance to reconceliate?

Question

I failed a few classes and also forgot to drop some classes and got F's is there a way to correct this and still trasfer to a four year? or should I start looking for a trade to get into or something?

Answer 1

you can always change your ways, first of all you should have just dropped them and gotten W's for withdrawl which does nothing against you, but now i would just say to stay at community college finish your associate degree then transfer, because they always take people with an AA or AS over people with nothing.

Answer 2

Make sure that you really want to be in college in the first place. Think about why you failed the courses you failed and why you needed to drop the other courses. College is not for everyone, and there is no shame in learning a good trade. Lots of people make lots of money in fields where higher education is not necessary.

If you really do want to get that degree you should go back to community college, take the classes you failed over again, and try your best to do very well in them. This way when it comes time to transfer to a four year school you can show them that you have matured and are now seriously interested in being a mature student. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

It is up to you. Yet, I do have a word of advice: Do not give up. Many college students do not do well in their first year or semester. However, there is still hope. You can retake the classes you failed in and do better. You can also make an appointment with an academic advisor as well as seek some counseling to help you get back on track. It does not matter if you have to graduate later than expected. As long a syou earn that degree, that is all that matters.

Answer 4

I don't think its ever too late. Just retake those classes and make good grades in them you should be able to get at least 3 grades in retakes which is good! so u can get rid of those F's and get back on track. Don't cut yourself short just because you didn't do well that time.Speak to you councilor and find out your options but I suggest retaking some of your classes and since the summer is coming up take a summer class or two. Good luck!

Answer 5

Actually, you can make ammends. There is a petition process where you can have the F's taking off your transcript. Well, they don't disappear, they're just not factored in to your transfer GPA.

I did it in my school. Requirements were the grades had to be two years ago, be taking at least 12 units when you petition and hold a gpa of 2.7 or 2.5 and above.

Ask your counsler, all schools are different.

Answer 6

You can still transfer, but you'll need to pull up your GPA first. Perhaps you should talk to your adviser about taking fewer classes, getting a tutor, possibly changing your course of study, and improving your study habits. You will have to take the classes over at this school in order to change your grades, and you may be put on academic probation, so please speak to an adviser.

Answer 7

You're probably young. Let this be a lesson in responsibility for you, something which helps you grow. Don't forget critical things. Most 4 year institutions view an F as an F, no excuses accepted.

Answer 8

you should go to your counselor at school and talk to them. different schools each have their own set of rules. if you're not willing to do the work or even remember to drop your class, 4 year schools and trade schools will be just as diffiult. You have to make up your mind to actually put some effort in and do the work. it's ain't the thought that counts - it's the effort.
