hey,<\/p>\n

I wanted to ask that if I fail a course which I do not need for my program
\nof study and have just taken it as a breadth requirement, what will the
\nconsequence be?
\nwill I have to retake the course? will I be put on probation? will I be
\nkicked out of uni?
\nSo I just wanna know what exactly will happen since I don’t need it as a
\npre req for my program of study!<\/p>\n

thanks<\/p>\n

hey,<\/p>\n

great question. since it’s not required for your program, you won’t have to retake the course unless you really wanted to retake THAT specific course. in terms of how many times you can retake the course, you’re allowed to the retake the course as many times as you want until you pass the course (but why would you do that unless you need to). once you receive a passing grade in the course, you won’t be able to retake it to achieve a higher grade without the permission of a registrar.<\/p>\n

if you fail a course, a grade point of 0.0 will be assigned for that course, but you’ll only be put on academic probation if your CGPA is lower than 1.5. academic probation is a whole other story but they have a helpful chart<\/a> to show you how it works.<\/p>\n

don’t worry, you won’t be kicked out of uni!<\/p>\n
