<p>I failed a Chem course, I just became too lazy in lab. I had an A in lecture, but in lab, I just stopped turning in my work. Well now I’m at a dilemma, I’m enrolled for two courses during the summer, one being a pre-req, and another general ed. I apply for transfer next semester, and I really would like to make up the chem course. Thing is, I’d have to take a risk by not showing up to the first courses and trying to get into chem, and I’m not even on the waitlist. I really don’t know what to do, should I not show up to those courses and risk trying to make up my gpa? I checked, and my gpa now is 3.5. </p>
<p>What should I do…?</p>
<p>So, let me get this straight. You paid for a class and just stopped turning in your work.</p>
<p>May I ask why?</p>
<p>Severe procrastination. I just don’t know what happened, it’s like I just gave up and didn’t care about school anymore. I burned out…</p>
<p>Take it during the fall. It will replace the grade and your GPA won’t be affected.</p>
<p>What Shannon said. Re-take the class.</p>
<p>Like the others said, just retake the class this Fall. You won’t be able to TAG anymore of course, but if you make the grade up (and pass) they’ll only take the repeated grade for GPA consideration. Don’t leave the class to Winter or Spring as UCs do not like to see failed course repeats in progress and may reject you becuase, so make sure you take it this Fall at the latest.</p>
<p>What do you mean I can’t tag anymore? What if I repeat it during the summer, then would I be able to TAG?</p>
<p>Uhm, well the thing with taking it in the fall is trying to get into the chem class. They’re all wait-listed. And I’m taking a heavy course load next semester, so I would have to drop a class.</p>
<p>Sure if you take it during the summer then you would still be able to TAG. But if you do not, then you won’t be able to. Any grades below a “C” invalidate you from TAG until you make them up with a passing letter grade. </p>
<p>If you don’t take it this summer, you’re just gonna have to cross your fingers and hope you get it in Fall becuase UCs do not like to see repeats in progress. I don’t think it invalidates you from admission, but it definitely hurts your chances.</p>
