<p>Hi guys, im a cc student looking to transfer next fall and I've been starting the apps (i know it doesnt start till later but i figured i'd get the general info done first). I had a terrible year last spring with a withdrawal a D, 2 Bs, and 1 A. The reason I had a W and D is because personal financial reasons as well as my grandpa's health problems. So i had to increase more hours of my work which kind of screwed up my classes. How do i explain it on my app so that it doesnt make it feel like im looking for excuses but something that really affected me? </p>

<p>Explain your situation and try to persuade them that you’ve overcome(Or perhaps, will overcome) your financial and family issues. UCs are pretty understanding about this kind of stuff, but you’ll have to show them that you’ve moved on and will continue to excel in your studies. Good luck.</p>
<p>Can you retake the D class?</p>
