first year

york student struggles…?

Hey, I know you probably get emails like this constantly. As you probably know how overwhelming university can be 1st year, well i realized that after a month. I basically worked for the whole year before i started uni, and i cant stop now. it gets quite overwhelming, especially not realizing how competitive criminology is.

I almost lost my mind because thanks to my friend i took almost all 2nd year courses not realizing i did until later. So I messed up my first year pretty bad. my question is what happens next? If i failed all 3 courses that i took including my major what happens?

thank you ????

???????????????

hey there,

ok, i’m not sure what’s happening here (standard procedure here on askastudent). two things are confusing me:

1) i don’t understand what the phrase “all 3 courses including my major” means, for a couple of reasons. the first is that at uoft, you need to take four courses at least in your first year to even?enter a major, and the second is that majors aren’t courses, they’re programs. you can’t fail them.

2) you titled your e-mail?”york student struggles,” which is either a really mean-spirited joke about how york students always fail stuff, or you’re actually just from york university and you’ve gotten very lost on the internet.

if it’s the latter case, then hello, nice to meet you – i’m aska. this website has a .utoronto.ca URL, which might clue you in to the fact that i only answer questions about the university of toronto. if you’d like to ask questions about york university, may i direct you to this very excellent tumblr blog that does just that.

if you’re a uoft student, then the next step after failing the majority of your courses is, likely, that you’ll go on academic probation?for the next semester that you’re in school. you will have that one semester?to get your CGPA above a 1.50. i’d recommend you make an appointment with your college registrar’s office to come up with strategies about how best to do that.

cheers,

aska
