Hi, I am a first year student and I found it really difficult juggling school and work at the same time. If I am taking 5 courses, 100% course load, and I fail 3 courses, will I get kicked out? I am so nervous 🙁

Hey there!
Basically, you get two years before being truly “kicked out” unless you made some horrific academic offence.
If your CGPA (the one you’re given at the end of the year in April or so) falls less than 1.5, you’re put on academic probation. After that, you get the next session to raise your CGPA to at least? a 1.5 or acquire an annual GPA of 1.7. Students who are put on academic probation are cautioned against summer school, so keep that in mind and if you’re unfortunate enough to be put on probation, take the summer to work a lot so maybe you can lessen the hours during the school year.
So what I’m trying to say is that if you fail three courses but you’re in a 100% course load, you can potentially rock the other courses enough so that your CGPA is a 1.6 and you actually manage to stay in good standing.
Good luck!
