On the Verge of being suspended from Engineering
Hi everyone, so I’ve been pretty distraught for the past few days since grades were put in and I really need some advice.
For context, this past year has been really rough for me. Last semester, I kind of let myself go academically due to personal issues and ended up failing 2 classes. Because of this, I was placed on engineering probation which requires each following semester gpa to be at least a 2.25, or else you will be placed on suspension. This semester has been better, but I still ended up failing one of my classes, and an F in this class brings my semester gpa right below what I need it to be, despite the fact that I did well in my other classes. This has been devastating for me as I’m a junior rn and have worked so hard to get to this point. My gpa is currently less than 0.1 below the 2.25 mark and I’m feeling extremely lost rn.
I tried reaching out to my prof to see if he was willing to bump my F to a D- which would put me well over a 2.25, but he was (understandably) unwilling to do so. I also reached out to another prof, but have heard no response.
I know this is all my fault, but does anyone know if there is anything else I can possibly do? I’ve thought about doing a grade appeal, but I honestly doubt that would accomplish anything. As of now, my current plan is to just try and beg the dept chair and/or the dean and hope they might be willing to bend the rules a bit for me since I was so close to the cutoff. And if that doesn’t work, ig I’ll just have to accept being suspended from engineering.
Is there anyone else here who has been in a similar situation as me? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
