<p>All the provisional contracts say you have to complete any planned classes on you application . But if your actually rescinded depends alot on the campus, the class, your reasons, ect . UCR isn’t too competitive , so I figure I still have a good shot. I also have the option of not screwing up in GEO( easier said then done, lol ).</p>

<p>Yours doesn’t look like that?</p>
<p>ahhh. can someone give me a quick breakdown of IGETC. or point me to a good link with info. i know i can google, but does anyone have a link with good, accurate, up-to-date info?</p>

<p>(just for anyone that would like to know as well, ■■■■■ at me probably being the only one tho.)</p>
<p>My eldest son is a sophomore Geology major at Cal State Sacramento and has told me that while there are upper division Geology courses such as Geophysics, Petrology and Geochemistry that can be fairly challenging and the prerequisites for the major, Calc1, Calc 2, Calc 3, three semesters of Calculus based Physics and two semesters of Chemistry dissuade many students from this major, the Introductory courses that would be found at a CCC are not that difficult. They usually consist of Introductory Physical Geology with lab and Historical Geology with lab. While Geology majors do have to take these courses, they are primarily intended for non-majors who need a physical science lab course to meet their distribution requirements but who do not have the math skills to take Physics. </p>
<p>I can not help but wonder what this Geology course the OP is taking is and why it is so difficult.</p>
<p>The reason I’m having so much trouble is I’ve spend an insane amount of time trying to work on my French .
I study about 9 hours a week,
7 of these hours are for french , ones for math and ones for Geo. Its geo history , the thing is I may get a C, or I may get a D. I wont know until after the final …</p>
<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this class and it is a required class that you still need to complete the IGETC, I think it is likely that you will be rescinded.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>
<p>Thanks for the tips everyone.
FYI , I’m not staying for another year at CC. I’ll just go to one of the CSU’s i was accepted into .
CSUN has a SIR deadline of July 1st, which is enough( should be ) time for UCR to decide if they’ll let me in with what ever grades I get this semester . </p>
<p>CSUN doesn’t care as long as you complete the golden 4 and have over a 2.0 . While I’d rather go to a UC, a B.A. is a B.A. at the end of the day and I’d rather finish a full year earlier then wait a full year to get into a UC .</p>
<p>Any grade lower than C is a big NO-NO.</p>
<p>I got a D for calculus in high school and was admitted to UCR, and when I talked to a admission officer, I was told I was going to be rescinded, so I canceled the SIR to escape doom. Hope my story cleared up some things for ya. Good luck.</p>

<p>There is not a lot in Historical Geology that is difficult to understand but unless you are a lot smarter, or have a much better memory, than me you have got to spend more than an hour a week on it. It takes time to learn all the subdivisions of the Paleozoic like the Ordovician and how long ago it was (I think about 400 million years ago) and the major life forms that emerged (fish, I believe) and the location of the continents and what they were like Pangea or Laurasia. You have to know that the Apallachian mountains formed around 400 million years ago when what is now North Africa collided with what is now Eastern North America. And this is just scratching the surface. It is a lot to remember but if you spent an hour a day on it you could probably get an A in the class.</p>
<p>Like I already said I have CSUN as my backup in case i get rescinded from UCR .
Although from what I can tell UCR isn’t that competitive for transfers, I’ll still put in my all for this class.</p>
