So my best friend was never much of a braniac but did enough to get by. Excited that he will be graduating college next semester but he told me he had a GPA of 2.2 and as he showed me his grades he had 5 D's, 1 C, 1 B and 1 A in his major which equaled to about a 1.6 GPA within his major but his cumulative GPA was a 2.2 because he did fairly well in his minor. I never thought of it like that before but I checked his school guidelines and it said Cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above is required to graduate. He will meet with his advisor tomorrow to discuss. Do you think he will graduate?
I don't know if he can. I thought there were certain requirements 2.0 or above.
I was like him, barely got Cs. In fact, if I got a B, I was disappointed. Bs and As are inefficient. I could have passed with a C which meant I spent too much time studying and wasted good time I could have spent getting wasted.
And getting wasted is time well spent? Maybe you said that last sentence in jest.
But to the OP, have you gotten back word if he went to the adviser yet? Like what plmokn said, I would venture to say he would have a 2.0 and higher to graduate. Perhaps he can take some classes over, grade forgiveness?
At my university, you have to maintain a 2.0 GPA to be enrolled in good standing. You get two semesters of academic probation to get above 2.0 or you're suspended. After THAT, you can't enroll the following fall or spring, but get your one last chance to take summer term and raise your GPA.
Major departments have different requirements. Most require a C to be able to have the class count toward getting your major, but some upper level classes in science or business programs may require a B.
i dont think kids really understand how a low gpa will affect their initial salary. yes, it does matter more than you think, but overall not once you get some experience.
a 2.0 vs a 3.1 person same job,title,etc. who do you think will get a bigger salary within the starting range? obviously not the 2.0 kid.
I didn't think most colleges allowed D's within the major. I was always led to believe you need a minimum of C or you needed to repeat it.
D is usually considered "barely passing" but if it isn't a prerequisite, then you can graduate with a D in a class. That's the way it was at the colleges I attended. If the class was a prerequisite, then you had to get a C.
In some colleges it might be possible. I don't know of any. A "D" does not transfer.
