YNRA 1,082 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 i go to a community college and im pretty sure im going to fail atleast one of my 2 classes. im not coming back for atleast another semester anyways wish i dropped out but the drop date has passed recently so do you think i should go overdrive and try really hard for a C in my classes or just fail them and not care. these classes might not even be classes ill need for my future majors btw since one is a computer class and one is a calculus class. i dont actually know what major id want in the future, thats why im leaving to think about it.

Myth 6,602 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It depends. Does your CC provide grade forgiveness? Or... whatever the hell it's called. I failed a class, retook it and passed with a B, and had it wiped from my record when I filled out a form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimchi 19,921 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes, I had no motivation when I went to college intially and failed all but one class 1st semester and failed one more class the 2nd semester. Even if you didn't pay you won't be eligible for grants if you have a low GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie 1,449 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'd try for a C. Even if they aren't going to be major classes, they'll still have an effect on your overall GPA and plus, if you do end up needing it, you won't have to pay money for it again later. And, if you go back to school after a while, it's one less class to take down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightEXO 12,909 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Only if its Pre-Recs for your major classes and Major classes thats the classes your future employer cares about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STORM 7,555 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 In your case, it doesn't matter because once you transfer or graduate to a 4 year college, your GPA will start anew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentinna 14,313 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 No is not First year is always the hardest one, the pressure is strong and the transition between high school and college can be too strong for some people We can't be good at everything, there's always some classes that are harder of us and is normal to try and still fail.. But two classes in one semester is a little too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageee_ 639 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Failing your college classes can also bring your GPA down. I failed a class that was required (my GPA went down) so I retook it and passed. So I think you need a certain GPA to get into whatever program or classes you need for your major.

heethighs 807 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes try your best to get a C or better. I'm working my butts off for uni now and I can't understand those who don't.... To each their own I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onieyez 425 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 it's better to fail the class than to drop out late and then get charge a late dropout fee you can always go back and retake the class to get a better grade that will replace the bad one but if you don't plan on taking the class again... then it doesn't really matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNRA 1,082 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes try your best to get a C or better. I'm working my butts off for uni now and I can't understand those who don't.... To each their own I guess. because im not in uni, i go to a junior college and i have no motivation. i dont want to be here. i only came here because my parents told me to. not because i have a goal.

Aitso 407 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I failed a class at uni and it didn't really effect me too much. Judging by what you're saying it's not going to affect you much either. You get credit for C's? If I got a C at uni the credits wouldn't count. :/ Don't let it bother you too much. If you overthink it you'll just burn yourself out. Try hard when it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dishdash 1,556 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 are you in the US? and do you receive financial aid? because if so then yes- it would be a huge problem. if not then nah- and just do whatever you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and South 4,680 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Tbh, yes. If you want to apply to grad school or go anywhere else where they will look at your transcript, it will always say that you failed the course. ( I know there are sometimes policies that allow you to get that cleared though, but again, more time and money spent It's not the end of the world, but i would try and avoid it tbqh. Why bother needing to retake classes or having a Fail follow you around and maybe hurting opportunities later down the road when you can put in some effort now and avoid trouble.
