Helloo, I’m currently a second year student at UTM and am hoping to get into criminology in April. This semester I all of a sudden thought I was some sort of scholar and took 6 courses!! With a job and other hobbies it was really hard for me to keep up with my courses. I started to panic because I also happen to be on academic probation. Yikes! Anyways, i ended up dropping a course and now I’m pretty sure I’m failing another one, however I can’t afford to because I need to bring up my GPA. Even though the exam for this failing course is a few days away I’m considering doing a late withdrawal. My question is, should I do a LWD to avoid my GPA dropping and just enrol in the same course again next semester? I was planning on doing that considering they also offer it next semester. I know my money is basically lost however sometimes you gotta do watchya gotta do. I just need a little bit of advice. Please and thank you \ud83d\ude42 all the best!! \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Hey hey! Okay so I checked the calender and apparently the last day for a late withdrawal at UTM was December 3… Had you sent me this message a few weeks ago, I definitely would have recommended doing the dropping-and-retaking thing if you felt really badly about the course.
