I genuinely don’t know how this happened. I had one bad test grade amongst the three but thought with the extra credit and all the 100% quiz grades I would surely end with an A. I am pre med and I did not see this coming. Do you recommend me take the class again to replace this grade?

Hey guys Im trying to decide between a BS in Biology and Healthcare Studies at UTD for pre-health (looking at med, PA, or dental school). Which major is generally better for keeping a high GPA and which one is more manageable overall while knocking out all those science pre-reqs? I'd love to hear about your experiences with the workload and balancing it with clinical hours.

should i take srimathi or miguel angel razo razo? does anybody have any experience with them?

So I retook CS 1436, and I passed this semester. How does this work on the transcript? Will it replace my old failing grade from last semester or take the average? And how does it affect my gpa? Thanks

I just finished my freshman year. My first semester was horrid, I feel into a crazy depression with a bunch of family and relationship issues and ended the semester with like a 2.3 gpa. This semester I'm expecting to end with a 2.6 gpa. I was a biology major but from fall 26 on I'll be a psych major. I'll be taking 16 credit hours, all psych/music related, but i did the math and it seems I'll need an A in every single course to be up to a 3.02-3.06 to keep my scholarship. Ive already done a semester of aes advising and I think I only have until the winter to bring my gpa up before I'm put on scholarship suspension/removal? I'm going insane just thinking about it. Plus I have to support myself almost entirely financially. If I lose aes I'll have to drop out or take out a huge private loan each year. Is there any hope for me🤕? Should I take more classes ? Does anyone know any courses that are easy As?💔

I was wondering if I am still able to register for good classes/professors or if they would still be available mid-June? Or is that too late? For extra context I'm a biochem major

I’m a freshman finishing my first year of college. I originally declared Business Administration, but I want to switch to Mechanical Engineering because I enjoy the technical, hands-on work.

I took precalc and English this semester (Spring 2026). Failed precalc and got a D+ in RHET, so I'm retaking them this summer semester. I was missing a lot of assignments and focusing too much on one class, which was Gen Chem I.

I told my parents, and they got mad at me for ruining their summer vacation, and that if I can't pass basic classes, I shouldn't pursue engineering.

For context, I have been paying for my own education, which is $6K a semester after aid. I have been working two jobs: an on-campus job and a babysitting job. I work around 40-60 hours a week, and I have to remain a full-time student to keep the on-campus job. I have a $3,200 loan at 18% and another $2,500 loan at 24.14% APR on top of the $6K in tuition and supplies.

I can't request for more financial aid because my family's income is too high, and my dad won't give me his Hazelwood Credits. My parents don't want to pay for my college unless I double major in business and computer science or data analytics and my first semester in college I get straight A's. Another thing is they don't want to cosign any loans for me, so that is why I have been getting high APR on my two loans.

Now I’m questioning whether I’m actually cut out for engineering or if I’m just trying to do too much at once. Part of me wants to drop out because I feel like I’m falling behind, no matter how hard I work.

I'm wondering if I should apply for the TEACH grant and teach for 4 years after I graduate to lessen the financial burden and focus more on my academics. Or maybe I should drop out and get an associates at a community college, try joining the ASME MET program, and just e a mechanical engineering technician. Those were a few ideas, but I'm at a loss right now.

Also, my parents are letting me stay with them, but they're asking if I can start paying them for rent and gas. I don't have my own car or insurance (my parents don't want me on their policy because it would increase their premium), so they have to drop me off every morning and pick me up. They're getting tired of me, but I have nowhere else to go from here.

I am a computer engineering major at ut arlington my gpa is 2.5. It was because of math classes i did good in the cse classes(i got b in discrete and a in 1106 and c in cse 1320) I used ap credit for 1310. should i transfer to utd, but will i get in utd for computer engineering since gpa resets if i go there

Is there UT Dallas online group (board/platform) to search for a UTD student to work as a part-time babysitter

Heyo,

I'll be taking summer classes and living on Northside. I'm wondering if anyone else will be on campus and would like to meet up/ hang out. Lemme know!

Hello! I'm a freshman finishing my second semester and I just got my grade for gen chem 2. I know a B+ is pretty bad, soo what should I do about this? Should I retake gen chem 2 here or at Dallas college? Will retaking it replace my bad grade? Or should I just take the B? For context, I'm premed. I gonna end up with at least a couple A-'s this semester and I already had 2 A-'s last semester.

hey yall! quick question - im registering for classes currently as i am in collegium v honors program. im waiting for ap scores to come in july so it is a little difficult to register for classes such as physics.

how long does registration last? the whole summer? i want to make sure im not locked with the classes im enrolling in right now. if i end up doing better than i thought on an ap exam, would i be able to easily unenroll from the course i had selected and then enroll in another in july?

does anyone have an extra grad ticket? Please lmk 😔😔

I know that this topic sounds debatable, but from everyone's point of view does GPA matter in computer science-related jobs?
