Hi there,<\/p>\n

Is there ever any leniency in meeting probational gpa requirements? My cgpa is abysmal due to a previous failed year, so to at least stay on probation for another term, I need 1.70 sessional gpa (St. George Arts and Science). I’m still waiting on one mark, but I have a feeling I’m going to be at 1.67. Is there such thing as “close enough”? The difference between 1.67 and 1.70 is just a difference of 1% for any one of my graded classes. If a prof doesn’t want to bump me up 1%, am I screwed?<\/p>\n

Hey hey,<\/p>\n

Yeaaaaaah the rules are pretty strict, so there’s no such thing as just being “close enough.”<\/p>\n

Sorry dude. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

I suppose you can beg<\/a> a prof or two for the slightest bit of a bump, but there’s nothing wrong with taking a year off. I mean, if you’re on the brink of suspension, that means two bad years of university.<\/p>\n

Don’t you think this means something? I’m not saying that maybe university isn’t for you, but there’s nothing wrong with taking a little time off and straightening your priorities<\/a>. I have a friend who got suspended, spent that year off working his butt off til he became some fancy supervisor, and is now back in school and rocking it.<\/p>\n

University may very well be for you, but maybe it’s time for a[n enforced] break<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

currently planning a trip to spain to ditch school,<\/p>\n
