If you are currently doing undergraduate research for a professor, you may want to talk to your professor about it. You don’t want to graduate with a GPA below 3.0 if you intend to go to graduate school, because then (somebody correct me if I’m wrong), your GPA is cast in stone. You might be able to take a few technical electives in the Fall to raise your GPA back up above 3.0, but that would mean you would have to cancel your graduation petition. That said, this is a special circumstance that I don’t think anyone on CC can have a clear-cut answer on what to do, other than say to ask for advice from somebody at your school in the know – particularly if you know somebody on the graduate school selection committee.
