Possibly rescinded at Berkeley (Transfer Student)

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I am a Spring 2013 admit, and I believe I am going to fail 1 class, it is Philosophy 5 critical thinking, it is the equivalent of English 102. Meaning it counts as my 2nd requirement for English (the critical thinking requirement nonetheless). I have never gotten anything below a B and I know that as long as I pass with a C i am okay. but a FAIL for a REQUIREMENT...
Thoughts? Thanks</p>

<p>try not to fail it O_o, if you can. only thing i can say really. it is in the conditional statement. unless you really are you going to fail it? hmm ask if you can take course over the summer? but i hope things work out for you. it’s berkeley though, they’re not nice about these things…</p>

<p>intellectu4l is right. Try your absolute hardest not to fail this class, as they may rescind you for it. there’s no shame in getting a C at this point.</p>

<p>If you fail the class you WILL be rescinded. Even with a D most likely you’ll most likely be rescinded. From my understanding (especially with Berkeley), there can be no grades lower than a C, which is a very specific conditional requirement.</p>

<p>Someone on the Facebook transfer group who is also a Spring admit also failed a class this semester. He called Berkeley and they created a new “agreement” with him where he would have to re-take the class during the Fall and pass it with a B or higher. You should call them.</p>

<p>well obviously i tried hard not to fail it. I got a D which is still a fail so yeah…</p>

<p>Really? Thank you so much fluxrad!!! you instill hope in me!!! they can always refer back to my transcript when i applied i had a 4.0 so obviously my track record is squeaky clean. This semester was horrible!!! I already talked to the professor i took the class with and he knows i will retake the class but this time the honors class. I cannot tell you how much i appreciate it, if i dont get rescinded i will take you out for a drink!!! (im assuming you go to berkeley too)</p>

Hi @ek9girl, I am a UC Berkeley Spring 2017 admit who’s in the same situation you were in. I was wondering how it worked out? I am unfortunately receiving a D in a non-required class (not needed for units, IGETC, major, etc.) but I’m scared for the rescind. It’s been a couple years, but wondering if theres a slight chance you’ll see this haha
