I’m still waiting for my midterm results for Mathematics but I’m pretty sure I did really badly. I’m confused about the difference between failing a semester and dropping out.
If I fail my midterms or even the semester, what usually happens? Can I retake courses or continue?
If I choose to drop out instead, does that affect my academic record or future semesters differently than failing ??so I’d appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through this or knows how it works.
Thanks!
