Hi, new student into UofT. Here’s the deal; I just went through my first semester here and of the three courses I took, when I first looked at my
results, I already failed one course. Right away though, I signed up for a retake. However, secong time around, I found the final mark I’ve been
waiting for BUT I failed that course too. Im not retaking that one cause there’s really no point to it, specially since Im not going into that field
(rather not say what the subject it). My concern is two things;
1) would they kick me out of the university for failing 2/3 courses the first year? And
2) what would I need to do to save my GPA?
Much Thanks 🙂

Hi there our littliest newbie,
There are a?couple of steps before getting the boot. Your “standing” with the university doesn’t get accessed until you have completed 4.0 credits. Unless you kick some serious ass in that last credit, you will most likely be put onto probation.
Here’s what the course calendar has to say:
Probation; Suspension; Refused Further Registration
The following regulations apply to students who have attempted at least four courses* in the Faculty.
- A student shall be on academic probation who
a) has a cumulative GPA of less than 1.50 or
b) returns from suspension.- A student who, at the end of the Winter or Summer Session during which he or she is on probation
a) has a cumulative GPA of 1.50 or more shall be in good standing
b) has a cumulative GPA of less than 1.50 but an annual GPA of 1.70 or more (Winter Session)/sessional GPA of 1.70 or more (Summer Session) shall continue on probation.
c) has a cumulative GPA of less than 1.50 and an annual GPA of less than 1.70 (Winter Session)/sessional GPA of less than 1.70 (Summer Session) shall be suspended for one calendar year unless he or she has been so suspended previously, in which case he or she shall be suspended for three years.- A student who, having been suspended for three years, is again liable for suspension shall be refused further registration in the Faculty.
Luckily, as a first year, you have plenty of time?to get your act together and save your CGPA …go, go CGPA
tastefully yours,
