Urgent-help needed first year engineering

I’m a first year Engineering student at Western and I’m trying to understand what I can realistically expect regarding adjudication/RTW/Dean’s Waiver.

Right now my fall/winter YWA will end up below the required 60%, somewhere around the high 50s . I withdrew from Calc 1000B before failing it, and I’ve already enrolled in summer courses to continue catching up and improving my weaker courses.

I know summer grades don’t count toward the original YWA calculation, but I’m wondering what usually happens in situations like this:

  • If I get placed on RTW status, can I still complete the summer courses I already registered/received OSAP funding for?
  • How common is it for Engineering students close to the cutoff to receive a Dean’s Waiver?
  • If granted a waiver, what does the process usually look like? Repeat first year? Conditional progression?
  • Does being close to 60 help significantly?
  • How does discipline selection work afterward if you repeat or continue conditionally?

I know nobody here can guarantee outcomes, but I’d appreciate hearing from people who were in similar situations or know how Western Engineering typically handles this.

Thanks.
