I finished my 2nd semester this week and everything that could go wrong, went wrong. My lowest grade going into finals was a B and the rest were around A- territory. Now that the semester is over I have a C+ as my lowest grade and my cumulative GPA is at 2.92
I'm already on academic warning because of the B- I received in anatomy over the summer. And it was our lone course.
The rules state you go on probation if you get a C+/C, or your cumulative GPA isn't above 3.0. But nothing is stated in the handbook about what happens if they both happen in one semester. I've emailed my advisor and another member of the department earlier today but neither have responded back. I'm extremely concerned that they may dismiss me from the program. One C+ shouldn't be the death of me, especially since they would skip academic probation and place me from academic warning to dismissing me.
It's especially frustrating because I've had 5 courses where I was 1 point from a higher final grade, 4 of which I was within 0.5.
I know I have to kick ass next semester and I'm prepared to make several changes and learn from this.
