<p>Hi, So this fall I will be starting my second year at CC. Last semester I did something incredibly stupid, I thought it would be fun to take a cooking class...I ended up getting a D because I forgot about the final and now my GPA is lower than it should be...
And no I am not planning on majoring in cooking, I'm aiming towards Chemistry right now. But my GPA is lower than i need and I'm freaking out because I haven't even gotten a C in a "real class" before and I have this freaking D in a stupid cooking class. Is there anyway to remove it, or does it not even matter? I'm trying to transfer to UCD btw.
Also..I did the same thing with a freaking PE class, forgot about the final, but luckily I got a B and not a D, but this PE class says its UC transferable..so what do i do now!?
Please helpp! tia!</p>
<p>How do you just forget the final?</p>
<p>Regardless, you can retake it… but I don’t think it’s going to magically go away. You have to report everything when you apply.</p>
<p>Do academic renewal. Each CC’s policy will differ; e.g. one will allow you to AR a single class while another requires each class during that semester to be AR’d. You can’t “fix” a grade above a D, though, so you’re actually kinda lucky the cooking dude didn’t give you a C out of pity or something.</p>
<p>a cooking class brought your gpa down that badly? 5 units class or wut? what is your gpa atm btw? if you dont mind.</p>
<p>I call bull, you don’t just “forget” about finals.</p>
<p>I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off at this post. My apologies, I’ll show some compassion now. Just retake it this Fall if you can! The sooner you retake it, the better. The grade will still show up on your transcript and you have to report it, but the UC will see that you repeated the course and will disregard the bad grade.</p>
<p>Of course its the “stupid” cooking class since you forgot about the final.</p>
<p>Based God works in mysterious ways…</p>
<p>You can retake it. Your d will still be on your transcript but your new grade will be the one used to calculate gpa. Is this class uc transferable? If it isn’t then you don’t have to do that right?</p>
<p>this isn’t just “bull” how should I know cooking classes have finals!!</p>
<p>Yeah, the Academic Renewal thing…does it mean I have to retake the course again!? ughh I really hate to go through that stupid class again D: Does anyone know if it is fine to just leave the D there? I looked and it’s NOT UC transferable. So is it alright for me to just leave it there? Or is there anyway for me to take off the grade and not retake it!? thanks</p>
<p>Academic Renewal does not mean you have to take the course again. When you get AR, bad grades don’t count toward your overall GPA, whether they’re UC transferable or not. You’d have to wait two years after the substandard grades were received to even be considered for AR anyway. </p>
<p>Look, if the class isn’t UC transferable then you have nothing to worry about and you don’t have to retake it. The class won’t be a burden on your UC GPA. </p>
<p>I would retake it though, just for pride issues. That’s just me.</p>
<p>Are you really asking how it’s your responsibility to know if a class that you’re taking has a final?</p>
