You will make it if you just don't give up.  However, is it possible to adjust your work schedule so you can study more?  Or maybe even get a different job?  For example, a security guard, especially on night duty, has lots of time when he can study if he is simply alert to any problems.  He only needs to make rounds once in awhile.  Or perhaps attendant for a patient who is asleep some of the time.  Or a driver who can read a textbook while the passenger is engaged in business.  There are many such jobs, and it might be worth your while to investigate them.  Then, too, you may benefit from a close look at your study habits.  Are you making the best use of the time you have?  And your course selection: did you fail one or more of those three classes because you had chosen a course that was really over your head?\n\nTalk to your school counselor, and see if there are ways you can ease the burden.  But don't give up.  Even if you only take one course a semester, you'll get there eventually.

probably, but it will be A LOT of work. did you fail miserably or just miss it? if you failed like all of your classes then it will be hard to get back in...

Dont be intimidated, apply to better schools that you think you would like to be at. Think about where you want to be in a year...in three years. \n\nYou can put off student loans as long as you need to. My best advice is to go to a better school and call the office of financial aid for that school, they will help you and make things a lot easier so you will have more power over making the decisions.\n\nCommunity college sucks, I wouldn't recommend staying there, start applying to better schools immediately and drop out of any classes you think you might fail because those classes will stay on your record and that won't help you if you're trying to go anywhere good.

i have the same problem in college. Just tell yourself that if you get the work done now you'll have more free time for doing what you love. Keep the work done ahead of you.

Keep going, do not give up. I have been in college 4 yrs now and have 6 more classes to go. I am also tired, but in the long run it will pay off.

Yes you can still get financial aid if you fail a class...if you recieve grants(money you don't pay back) you will be put on academic probation, if you fail a class again the following semester than they will take your financial aid away, but you may still qualify for student loans...hopes this helps you. Try not to fail any classes two semester in a row!!!

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you need to pay your account and get a transcript of the college you have already attended. You will be asked on your application to college what institutions you have already attended and you must answer honestly.\n\nIf you were to answer dishonestly, this behavior could become known at a future time if not now and cause you difficulty.

Better get studying!!  If you have legit excuse for not being prepared, you may want to speak with the professor and explain the situation, he may give you some extra time or an incomplete.

I have never taken it. I have had to take some courses twice though. It was from lack of studying and participation that I failed. So when I went back I put forth the effort needed and passed with an A. \n\nIf you are having problems and you are studying, you may want to consider studying with other students. Find students that are doing well in the class and ask to study with them. There may be key factors that you are overlooking and that is why you are failing. Just set your mind to it and you can pass. Hope this helps.

Have you tried going to you counselour and asking for advice? Have you talked with your teachers for a way to pull your grade up? Most people are willng to work with you \nIF your genuine about achieving you degree, this might be hard since your on probation but IF you are genuine about your education you might be able to figure something out with your college board members, teachers, something.\nSorry probably wasn't much help.

Stop surfing the Internet and get down to work.\n\nI spent several years doing what would have been a masters course and had to cut it short to become a bachelors because I didn't care at the time - only later once I realised what chance I'd thrown away did I regret it. You only really have one chance to 'get it right this time'. Your future employment prospects will depend on what you achieve. Don't throw away that chance - it will be hugely expensive in the long run and you will if you're like me regret it for years to come.\n\nMost people, when they get close to the end of something big that's been dragging on lose enthusiasm, I'd say that's what's happening to you.\n\nStart early in the day, but not so early that it damages your ability to work,  pick up everything you need to complete the assignment, go somewhere quiet where you can concentrate but won't fall asleep (a library?), drink some coffee to keep you alert. Plan the use of the available time, so that you devote say 10% of your time to the task which counts for 10% of the marks - if it's that kind of assignment.\n\nGood luck, it's almost over.

I have this same problem.... Each day my wife has to try and pump me back up because classes are kicking my butt, I won't even apply to my program for at least another year and then I have another 4 years after I get in. Look at it this way, So you need to kill your social life, work as hard as you can, devote yourself to your studies untill 2007 (which is just around the corner by the way). What will you gain from this work..... Better job, more money, hopefully more free time, a job you enjoy, a future for your family, something for your kids to strive for (these are all the things I tell myself, not that you have any kids or anything). The point is figure out why you are doing this and just remind yourself about it. Its ok to feel overwhelmed and when you do just push through it and eventually the weekend will come, you can recoop and get back to it the next week. Your almost there you would be a bigger fool to quite now.\n\nGood Luck... (maybe you can write me and pump me up next week)

How is everyone else doing in the class? I have heard of teachers that grade really hard and then curve a lot at the end of the year. So a %50 turns into an A grade.\nI suggest talking to the teacher and seeing what the teacher has to say.\nAlways-> If you are doing badly in a class you should always go to the teachers office hours. If a teacher knows you and knows that you are trying, they are more likely to give you a better grade. Even if you aren't doing badly, go to the teacher's office hours! There is a big difference between a B+ and an A-.\nConsider a tutor. Some colleges have free tutoring!!! Use all of your college resources, you are paying for it.\nIf you can still withdraw/drop from the class you should consider doing that. Don't just quit going if you can't drop the class!! If you can't drop or withdraw from the class formally with your registrar’s office then continue to show up if you have to retake the class. The more you learn now the better it will be the next time you take the class. \nBeware if you don't drop or withdraw the class officially, many schools, if you are retaking a class will average the two scores together. So if you get a 1.00 this time and an 4.00 (A) next time your overall grade is considered to be a 2.5. \nAs for Financial aid depends on the school. Many schools will give you one semester to mess up. They will consider you on probation and take action if you don't improve. \nAlso if you drop the class you could lose some financial aid and have to pay whatever the school makes you pay for a late drop out of your pocket.\nSee a Financial Aid counselor.

I think you have been blaming youself too much for your failures. Look, there is no other choice but to do the best you can from now on. And that takes positive thinking. Once you have the right mindset, you feel relaxed and your mind will be more receptive to new idea and information. Your marks will improve soon.\n\nDont worry. Be interested in what you study. And don't blame yourself when you get bad marks! Tell yourself 'next time, i'm going to do better'.

Find out which one of the reasons you were not in compliance with.  Speak with your FA counselor.  \n\nMaybe they don't count your "cumulative" GPA, but note if *any* of your individual classes fell below a certain grade.

Well I attended college summer semesters full-time each summer. they go quite fast, reduced time and all, so be prepared to study alot. if you work, you might want to consider cutting one. Also, i tried to space it out so I had a day inbetween to study up. Are you prepared for them?? Do you already know the subject that you need to take? That makes having 3 classes alot easier. Hope this helps.
