I do go to a California CC. I appreciate the fact that you brought up academic renewal. I’ve never heard of academic renewal before, but I will look into that. And sorry, but I hope I comprehend your presented options correctly… I can either retake them or consult with a counselor about academic renewal or I have to retake them despite of academic renewal?
I don’t know where you got the “3+ years to transfer” from, but even if that’s the case, I prioritize in graduating within 5-6 years (apparently it takes 5 years for most CS majors to graduate). Given the tremendous load of courses required in my major, I have no choice but to take summer courses to catch up on all the maths and sciences. Me not making a satisfactory grade in English class is honestly the least of my concern at this point since there’s only 2 required courses in this section. On the other hand, I simply cannot screw up on my path with math and science because just one mess up will get me off track.
