What should I do if I got "D" for my course in college?

It truly depends on two things: 1) Is it a class for your major? 2) If you decide to retake it, will it fit into your schedule?\n\nIf it is a class for your major, I would highly recommend you retake the class. If it isn't, and the lost credits won't affect your strategy for graduation, forget it.\n\nIf the class won't fit into next semester's schedule, then it may not be a good option to go back and take it.\n\nHope that helps!

Hi, Elfgurl:\n\nThere are a few options.\n\n1) Just do better in the future.  Every future grade that is higher than your current GPA contributes to raising it.\n\n2) Talk to your current teachers and ask them (even though it's really late in the year), if there's anything you can do before final exams (extra credit assignments, better preparation, etc.) to bring up your grade.  If you're borderline in any classes, sometimes that extra effort shown will prompt a teacher to push you a bit higher.\n\n3) If you can afford it (based on your academic requirements and cost of credits), pad your schedule this coming semester or summer with a couple "easy" classes.  A lot of students pile up on survey classes (e.g. Intro to Psychology, Intro to Political Science, Music History, etc.) in a single semester thinking they'll all be easy.  But these classes take a TON of reading.  Try to take one or two classes where you can learn something but you know you'll enjoy the subject matter and be able to do well without killing yourself.\n\n4) If you have a legitimate reason, you can try to go through your past and current course schedule, and determine if you're eligible for a "late withdrawal."  This will allow for the entire class and its grade to be removed entirely from your record, so the bad grade won't count against you.  Common reasons for this are mental or physical health related.  Be prepared though, that you'll probably need to get your advisor's signature, plus the course instructor's, and probably your college dean's signature.  You may also need to provide documentation and/or pay a processing fee.  (Not sure if this process would work if you're a high school student.)\n\nBy the way, other options are to go to a local community college to take classes that could also get your GPA up.  Unfortunately, when those classes transfer to a university, generally the points don't transfer.  They all come over as 0 points but full credit on a pass fail basis.  There are exceptions, but it depends on how fully integrated your university is with your community college system.\n\nGood luck!

Did you get D's and F's because you were too busy to study or were you sweating over the books and did not do well.\nIf it is the first, I guess you need to decide what is important to you and give it the appropriate time.  If it is the second, then maybe you need the help of a tutor or brainy friends.  I hope this helps.

Leave it alone, it will lead to nothing. the instructor will be fired and your future at the school would be at stake, it is not worth it. \nJust do your work and don't expect any special treatment.\nFind a friend or two in the class and play that way. it could lead to something better!

I can tell you what you should have done, but hind sight is always 20-20 and you probably don't want to hear about that.\n\nthey will want you to report your last school and they'll probably want an official transcript. the good news is you might be able to take those classes over at the community college to bring your gpa back up.

If it was given to you fairly, use it as incentive to work harder. Maybe ask your teacher what you can do to improve. If it was given to you unfairly, politely ask the teacher to change it. If he/she will not, file a formal complaint.

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.

It depends on the rest of your grades and the time table of your school.\n\nIf you can drop it without penalty and the other grades you have are good - I would.\n\nIf you drop it and are being penalized for it - think about it carefully depending on the penalty.\n\nIf all your grades are bad, well... keep it and try again later.  Just make sure you go to class and do the work.  If you need help, most colleges offer tutoring of some sort - take advantage of it.

Write a letter to the professor of the class, sending a copy to the Registrar's office.  For your protection (and especially if you do this anonymously), keep a copy for yourself, and mail an additional copy to yourself at the same time.  Do not open that envelope without a university official present.  It documents that you informed the university in good faith - and that you weren't intentionally part of the problem.\n\nYour letter should be simple.  Mention only what you know, that the schools laws on academic honesty have been broken.  Do not complain of the effect on your grade.\n\nBe careful - you could be considered a partner to this.  Tell the truth, and only what you know - don't add to the story to make it any worse.  Your credibility is at stake.

You should contact the admissions department at Syracuse and talk to them about it. Because yes, your senior year grades do count. But a low grade in one course - if all your other grades remained strong - that one grade may not kill you. \n\nIf they say that it is enough to cause a problem, then do talk to them about what your options might be. These might include taking the class again in the summer at your school or a local college. \n\nTo make you feel a bit better, I got into Syracuse. All my grades were good, but for one - I got a D in French in my junior year. So maybe you'll be okay - or maybe not. Talk to them!\n\nGood luck. Don't freak yet.
