Hi,
First time doing this so i guess straight to the point. Due to being a?confused first year student, I didnt know i needed 5.0 credits every year?to graduate with 20 credits for my degree. I ended taking 4.5 credits, and?ended up dropping one course, But i thought i would just take the 0.5 in?summer school and get the 4.0 to get into my subject POSt. As of recent, I?also failed a course (49%) and now am at 2.5 credits (the course was not?required for my POSt), and still plan on taking the 0.5 in the summer,?causing me to be at 3.0 credits in total. Now I just wanted to know what?will have to do to get back into my subject POSt for next year? Will I have?to take all the same courses again or do i just reapply next year? I did?well in my required course (SOC100). I just dont know what to do im so?scared and confused.
Thank you if this gets through and for hopefully some clear answers

hey there,
you definitely don’t have to retake any courses you don’t want to, and ESPECIALLY not the ones you got a credit for already. next year, you’ll just have to continue taking credits, and then hopefully you’ll have at least 4.0 credits total by april of next year. at that point, you’ll be required to sign up for a subject POSt(s).
i’m assuming you’re interested in a sociology major – if you did well enough in SOC100 that you think you’ll be competitive to get in, then don’t retake it.
just focus on catching up on credits and doing as well as you can. they DON’T have to be the same ones you took last year – just take whatever you’re interested in/need for your degree/will do well in.
and if you feel like you need some more guidance about which courses to take and how to improve for next year, your college registrar’s office is always a great place to go.
good luck!
