<p>If you failed a class first semester, is it better to take it next semester or during the summer?</p>
<p>I'd take it during the summer. You're more likely to do better with fewer (and smaller) classes.</p>
<p>Yeah go for summer. You'll get it over with within two months or so as opposed to a whole semester (but have to go to class a lot more often each week).</p>
<p>What if you failed an freshmen introductory class thats only offered during the fall? Is there any way you could take it so you wouldn't have to take it with incoming freshmens next fall?</p>
<p>If you take classes during the summer, around how much more money do you have to pay?</p>

<p>Your school should have a financial aid site that gives tuition estimates for this.</p>
<p>I cannot imagine an "introductory" class that is only for freshmen........or freshmans as you call them. Intro means beginning knowledge level.........not the class standing one has in the college. One can be advanced in chem but beginning in history or psychology. I think you are embarassed about failing a class which is understandable. My thinking on this is that you need to put as much effort into finding out why you failed rather than what everyone is going to think about you next fall.............trust me nobody will know or care.</p>
<p>What if you fail your freshman seminar?</p>
<p>My school offers a replacement grade for F repeated courses. So only the 2nd grade is factored into the GPA. The F course still remains on your transcript though.</p>
<p>If you fail a freshman seminar and it is required for graduation, you will probably have to take it again with next year's freshmen. You only have yourself to blame. But it probably depends on the school - ask around at your school.</p>
<p>also realize lots of schools give you only a certain amount of replacements, like for example UCR will replace either 3 or 4 grades, the others, even if you fail and retake, the F will be counted in for your GPA</p>
<p>My son failed freshman seminar. How does he retake it if it is not offered until next year?</p>
<p>What exactly is the Freshman seminar like. For example, at my college they are only two unit courses and don't really matter for everything. If it is necessary for him to retake it, he'll have to look into the school's policy. I have heard of introductory courses for freshman, especially at colleges like Standford. They aren't necessarily introductory for a specific subject, like Chem, but for the university in general, where all Freshman have to take the course.</p>
<p>College 101, freshman seminar or college success are just a few of the names for a course in how to survive college. Some schools have them and some don't. The one's that do charge like 1 credit for the class. Most of the time its P/F, failure is based on attendance. I think its a waste of time and money and I am glad my school doesn't have it.</p>
<p>Depends on the school. Our Freshman Seminars are classes taught by top professors on a variety of interesting topics. Mine was on Medical Controversies and the Law. It turned out to be something of a debate class.</p>

<p>If someone failed that, how are they going to survive college?? :X</p>
<p>The freshman seminar my son failed was a very intense academic class on history and the environment, one of 30 choices at his highly ranked LAC.Anyone have any experience with how to approach retaking the class?</p>

I'd suggest your son ask his professor or his advisor. Each school will have it's on options and rules ... we're all just guessing while school officials can provide the specifics ... and they are used to helping kids in this situation.</p>
