<p>I think I'm going to end up with a D in my chem II class. Unfortunately I failed the ACS exam which counted as 20% of my grade. Considering I was barely scraping by to begin with as far as tests averages go, it's no suprise but I am really disappointed in myself. I have never failed a class like this before, and I did study and put in the work. It was just a really hard semester. How does retaking this class work? If I retake it does the college recalculate my grade based on an average between my first attempt and second attempt? I have grade forgiveness at my school but the deadline was also the withdrawl deadline so I missed it and couldn't apply. What should I do? I switched my major so it was basically an elective class but I don't want a D on my transcript. Is there any way to delete it off of there? There is no NC option for the class, I already looked into it.</p>
<p>All your questions depend on the school. Talk to your adviser.</p>
<p>Chin up. A lot of people fail at least one class in college. I failed one in my first semester and tanked my GPA, but I managed to raise it to a 3.6 within a year with some hard work. Your adviser will be able to tell you what to do to make the best of the situation.</p>
<p>You do realize that every college has different policies, right? I can’t possibly tell you anything if I don’t know what school you go to.</p>
<p>But regardless, from what I’ve seen if you tried hard and still did badly, then retaking the class would be of minimal help.</p>
<p>Thank Emaheevul, I’m really down right now but your comment cheered me up. Everyone just acts like it’s the end of the world. I know I can improve once I switch my major and start taking classes that I actually enjoy and that interested me.</p>
<p>Yes, Ray192 I understand I was just trying to get a general idea, no need to be rude. Retaking the class would help because I’ve already been exposed to the material once which makes it a bit more familiar. Plus if I have a different professor things might work out better.</p>
