Concern about UF admission/Honors revocation due to senior year drop

[jiblets10]

I’m feeling really worried for my child and would appreciate any advice or insight, especially from anyone familiar with UF Honors or URSP decisions.
Last quarter, my child received a D (68.5%) in Statistics. It was a tough combination of senioritis, a difficult teacher, and the fact that math has always been a struggle for them. They earned a C for the first semester, which was the grade reported with their college applications when admitted to Honors. As you probably know, semester grades are based on the two quarter grades, and since the third quarter was a D, if they manage a C this quarter, the final semester grade stays a C. But if they get another D, it will drop to a D for the semester.
Unfortunately, the fourth quarter for seniors is very short, and while they are working incredibly hard now, there’s just not much time left. They’re genuinely doing everything they can, but they’re scared(and honestly, so am I) that it might not be enough to save their spot, not just at UF, but also in the Honors program and URSP.

What makes it even harder is that they’ve been on a strong upward trend for years. Aside from one C freshman year in Algebra 2 (which they raised to an A the next semester), and a few Bs, they have had mostly all As, including both semesters of Precalculus and IB Calculus. They have worked so hard to overcome their math struggles and deal with serious math/test anxiety. To see it potentially undone by one bad quarter at the very end is heartbreaking.
Has anyone had experience with UF rescinding admissions, specifically for Honors or URSP? How forgiving are they if the final semester isn’t perfect but the student has a strong overall record?

Thank you so much in advance. I just want to help them figure out what to expect.

I’d suggest reaching out to your student’s college counselor for guidance. Surely they’ve seen these situations arise before and are in the best position to offer information.

no insight to UF, but can he drop or withdraw from the course? Or is it required for graduation?

Forget about the Honors and just focus on keeping the admission.

I don’t Ufl stays on top of things like this. Their incoming class is huge.

You should be more concerned about UF’s imminent drop in educational quality (and since lots of int’l students will be prudently enrolling elsewhere, UF will need more warm bodies, so it’s unlikely that it will revoke your child’s acceptance).
