Hey,<\/p>\n
I’m going into my second year this september 2012 and I failed a course twice. The first time I took it I failed because of my lack of effort, the second time I took it, I ended up with a 48. I don’t know what to do and I don’t want to take it again but I need itbecause its a prerequiste. Will a petition help?<\/p>\n

I’m assuming you don’t mean a petition like the one I made in third grade to get strawberry milk in the cafeteria (I got 46 signatures, but The Man didn’t fold), so Aska is about to keep it real and give you the short answer: No. Failing twice actually hurts your case for an academic petition, and it sounds like you don’t have any grounds to make one besides your own first-year-itis. Information about petitions is available here<\/a>, but really, the petitions process is generally for uncontrollable emergencies or severe problems with the course.<\/p>\n You probably have to take the course again, and there’s no limit on the amount of times you can do that. But let’s be honest, if you failed a foundational course for your program twice, it might be time to go deep into the woods, light some incense, assume the lotus position, and do some deep reflection about whether you’re really cut out for that program. After that, make an appointment at your registrar ASAP and have some real talk about your academic interests and abilities. They’ll help you come up with a plan and work out some strategies to do better in school.<\/p>\n Good luck pal, and here’s to a stronger second year!<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, I’m going into my second year this september 2012 and I failed a course twice.
