Hi,<\/p>\n

My first question is about my transcript. I failed a course back in… 2007 with a 35 (terrible, I know). Retook it the year after and got an 85. Is there ANYWAY for me to permanently remove that 35 from my academic transcript at UTM? I don’t have any real super elaborate reason other than, the course was just too difficult for me… The first time. I know it was so long ago, but it really makes my cGPA look worse than it needs to be.<\/p>\n

Secondly, how does graduation at UTM work? I “requested” for it for Nov. 2013 on ROSI. Haven’t received any info on what to do or how I’ll receive my degree or any information on it at all, really. I don’t plan on actually attending the ceremony (long list of reasons), but I just want to know the process on completing this graduation. I have already taken my photo and everything. Do I just wait for them to send me my degree? Please help. I am so lost.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advanced for ANY and all advice\/clarification.<\/p>\n

Yo<\/p>\n

Basically if you saw a course through all the way to the end, no, there is no removing it. So as crappy as that mark may be, it’s staying there. Especially since it’s from so long ago.<\/p>\n

And how to graduate<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Request graduation.<\/li>\n
  2. Eventually receive some sort of email from your registrar saying “thanks we got your request.”<\/li>\n
  3. Get your photo taken.<\/li>\n
  4. Rent your gown and RSVP for your tickets!<\/li>\n
  5. Attend graduation<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Receive diploma.<\/li>\n
  7. Brag about it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And there you have it.<\/p>\n

    Now if you’re too lazy to trek over to Con Hall for your diploma, here are the other ways<\/a> of obtaining it.<\/p>\n

    Cheers!<\/p>\n
