<p>@thisislife For future reference, your school library will probably have a copy of the books for your classes on reserve. Though you might not be able to take them out, you are surely able to use them in the library for a few hours at a time. You could also always make copies.</p>
<p>If you receive a D in this class and it is a required class that you still need to complete the IGETC, I think it is likely that you will be rescinded. My UCR Provisions of admission say that I have to receive a C or better in my classes AND maintain a GPA over a 2.8 due to my major. Double check that your provisions don’t have a GPA requirement also. If you’re stressed about your grades, think about it this way: UCR is inevitably going to be a lot more work than your CC so you need to make sure you’re prepared to put in the work required to succeed in the first place. If you’re not ready to transfer or you’re not in a place in your life where you can maximize your education, you could always stay at your CC finish up any classes you can use to complete IGETC requirements and better prepare yourself for your major.</p>
<p>I completely understand how sometimes people slack off a bit in the beginning of the semester. But until the last day, you need to put in 100% and do everything you can to improve your grade. Additionally, go and talk with your teachers if you haven’t done so yet. Perhaps the reason your grade is not stellar is because you’re not thoroughly prepared for tests or assignments. They are your ultimate resource for information on how to excel in THEIR class. Though many teachers will not give out extra credit to students who aren’t doing well, if you continuously go to office hours for the rest of the semester and put in the initiative to learn the material and do well on the final, perhaps your teacher might see this effort and pass you accordingly.</p>
