Hey!
I?m at Daniel?s for Architecture. And I took PSY100 for a breadth requirement. I?m not doing well in it, I will probably end up with a 60% maximum unless I ace the last test.?Will this affect anything for me at all or am I good to go because I?m not failing and it?s just an elective?
?????????
hey there,
i don’t really understand the question???
will it affect you? well, it’s not a program requirement, so it won’t stop you from continuing to fulfil the requirements towards your architecture degree. however, it will be a failed mark on your transcript, and that will bring down your GPA. if your GPA is lowered enough (below 1.50) you will be put on academic probation. a lower GPA may prevent you from pursuing post-graduate studies, depending on how low it gets. also, you need 20.0 credits to graduate, so you’ll need to make up for this credit which you didn’t get with another one, preferably one that will fulfil the breadth requirement you were trying to fill with PSY100, because you still need to satisfy that.
the only thing i can think of that might be a problem is if architecture has a minimum GPA that needs to be maintained. i don’t know if it does because they put very little of that information online tbh, but if you’re worried about that, definitely talk with the registrar about it.
other than that, i mean, no, it won’t affect you. it might make you sad. i don’t know. are you sad? i can’t really tell. here, have a muffin, just in case. it’s all gonna be okay.

Isn’t a fail under a 50, not a 60? :/

hey, yeah, under a 50% counts as a fail for a specific course, but if your overall GPA is under a 60%. that’s when they put you on probation. sorry if that was unclear!

i was just considering the options in case the person failed, because they said “60% maximum” 🙂
Question asker
All my other courses are in the high 80?s or low 90?s, I heard somewhere that I can?t get into my major if I have a 1.7 GPA or something like that so that?s what was worrying me. I?ll talk to the registrar though! Thanks, wish I knew about credit/no credit sooner ugh

hey, yeah, if you’re in architecture, i don’t know the min. gpa because they don’t put it online, but if it’s under 1.5, that’s when the university puts you on probation, and you basically have a year to get your gpa above that. but if all your other courses are that high, you should be good! (and yeah i know uoft gives so many options but never tells you about them smh uoft)
