[quote=Anonymous]Find out why. Determine remediation. Fix the problem. Reenroll for another semester and/or possibly summer. Consider whether to repeat or substitute other courses if possible. Monitor closely. Complete program and get the degree. College in four years is a plan, not a destiny. And the hateful, nasty, resentful, punitive responses upthread are terrible Some of them (community college) make no sense to remediate senior level problems. Others (I don’t pay for failing grades) do nothing to move the ball down the field. People, particularly when they have special needs, screw up in college. They get in over their head. They take classes without adequate prerequisites. They get too focused on being finished and not enough on focusing well. College is perhaps the longest term investment a person makes. Considering the already sunk costs, an additional semester shouldn’t be treated as a disaster. [/quote]
