<p>I’m in a tough spot and I need some advice from anyone who has gone through something similar to my situation. I’m a Junior transfer student to UCD majoring in Political Science. Fall Quarter I took 12 units. Due to a death in the family I got a D, F and C+. This mean I’m -10.8 points and a GPA of 1.10. Since this was my first quarter I didn’t have any of my other good semesters to cushion my GPA . I went to the deans office and explained my situation. They allowed me to continue I had to take 16 units, the dean also wanted me to reduce my point defecate by 8 points, so I would be -2.8. Unfortunately this quarter didn’t go as expected, I have still been dealing with some issues that the dean’s office was aware of but I just got my grades in: I got a B,C,C- and D. Its a little disheartening since the class I got a C in was the class I knew I was going to get a B, but a bad research score and a 70% participation grade that seemed arbitrary lowed my grade to a C. Point wise the B and D cancel each other out but the C- puts me -1.2 in the hole so my defecate is -12. My comm GPA is 1.57.</p>
<pre><code> Recap
1st Quarter: GPA: 1.10 Points -10.8
2nd Quarter: GPA 1.57 Points -12

<p>Ideally the easiest way to dig myself out of this hole is to retake the classes I failed. I plan on taking them but the F course wasn’t offered during the winter or spring and the D I’m enrolled for the spring. What are my odds of remaining in UCD under probation? The contract I had to sign outlining the 16units and +8point reduction said that failure to meet one of the requirements may lead to being kicked out of school. </p>
<p>Now should the worst happen and I get kicked out of Davis its my understanding that its for 3 Quarters. Does Summer count as a quarter? I also learned about UCD open campus that may allow me to take 8 units a quarter at $300/unit. If I took 8 units in the spring and 8 units in the summer (making up the classes I failed) would I be able to regain admission to UCD early? I also have a Fed loan, I just got paid for spring and its my understanding is that I have 6 months to become a student again before I start getting my loan bills. Will the govt want their money back from Spring right away? I would essentially use all of it to take the classes in Open Campus.</p>
<p>Does anyone have advice or any Ideas on how I can get ahead of this train wreck?</p>
