Already Accepted to UCSC, Grades in trouble

<p>I'm currently wrapping up my second year at Cal State Fullerton, which is a state school in Southern California. Just when I had given up all hope of transferring, I get a letter in the mail saying I've been accepted into UC Santa Cruz, which was my first pick out of high school.</p>

<p>I've been apathetic about school and where I am for a while now, and this news really excites me. However, one of the conditions for acceptance reads:</p>

<p>Complete the course work you reported as "in progress" or "planned" with minimum grades of C (2.0).
Notify our office, either by e-mail or by letter, of any changes to your program of study, including attendance at an institution different from that listed on your application, as these changes may affect your admission.</p>

<p>Now, I'm an English major and this last semester decided to take a "fun" class on film. Of course, this class ends up being horrible, as the Prof was disorganized and an unfair grader. Every class all of my classmates would protest the grades he gave us. Before being accepted into Santa Cruz, I stopped caring as I had other classes to focus on and could take a hit on this meaningless class that doesn't count for General Education or my major. Now I'm panicking because I don't want my acceptance to be withdrawn. I'm trying to contact the admissions office about it but so far they haven't been helpful. I still don't know what grade I'm going to get, but I fear a D could screw me over. At this moment I'm a sitting duck.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Specifically getting their admission withdrawn? I feel like if it's an inconsequential class I should be able to fight it or petition or something. Thanks for any help.</p>

<p>Since it’s not a core class for your major, nor is it a general ed class; you should be fine long as your GPA is still fairly decent.</p>

<p>The conditions for your acceptance at UCSC are spelled out very clearly in your contract. You have to find some way to get a C in this course no matter how inconsequential it is. If you get rescinded it would truly be a shame because a UC accepting a transfer applicant from a CSU is a very rare event.</p>
