<p>Hallo everyone!(New guy to the forums here!!)</p>
<p>Ok, my best friend and I are in the same university together. We know each other for 7 years... </p>
<p>The guy is smart and he pretty much can get a very good gpa 3.5+/4. Problem is! His a undeclared undergrad majoring in Electrical Engineering at Colorado State University. </p>
<p>So he just passed his freshmen year.
Unfortunately with bad scores, in his first semester he didn't really get used to the lifestyle overseas (were both foreign) and collage lifestyle. He then said I'll push myself in the next semester(spring)!</p>
<p>Ok, he started off all good... Getting all good grades and such. Until he heard the news that his grandmother passed away... That news came in beginning of the second month of the semester.</p>
<p>That really effected him I mean I know the guy as a brother never seen him like that.... He was crying all day and night for days and days! I was with him in the same classes and he skipped them! He was really in a bad state of mind...</p>
<p>The guy change dramatically he didn't care about anything! He traveled back to his home and stayed with his family for a weekend then came back still depressed as hell! I don't blame him honestly. His grandmother was really someone important in his life that he loved so so so much. Man I almost cried listening to his father telling me the new(He was to afraid to even tell his son!).</p>
<p>So at the end of the semester he started to get better... He did go to his classes but didn't really give it his "all". Do you blame him? I really felt bad for the guy...</p>
<p>So we met up after a few months and his ok now.</p>
<p>Now here's his problem that Im worried about too... His advisor said: "That during the last semester's spring & fall you got terrible grades and that would effect you're chances of getting in you're major." </p>
<p>So his options are: Dropping the semester or the year because of the bad grades and his grandmother's death.</p>
<p>Or leaving the university and re-applying for other universities... </p>
<p>His advisor: "Said we can take the semester cancelation as an option but you have to have a good reason for it". </p>
<p>Death of a relative he loved so much is one right?
So my friend has to meet up with his advisor and take the option and give him the reason why the "council" should agree. </p>
<p>I hate when the "council" are envolved I feel like they would brutally say NO! But, why should they? The guy wants to repeat or drop or cancel his semester or year... He has no other option since he used most of them for the "fall semester".</p>
<p>What do you guys think would happen? Would they agree and let him repeat the year and start over? Or should he really start considering other universities...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
