What if I run out of time? - Federicojavier - 09-23-2021

I finished four classes already, and I am thinking about doing two more. I was wondering what would happen if I ran out of time. Can somebody explain the options to me?

If the classes that you plan on adding are only available in Session 1 and you need them to graduate, then you'd have to wait until Spring's Session 1 to take the courses so you can graduate. But if the courses that you're adding are offered in both Sessions, then obviously you can just take it then.

But we're only in week 4, so we have another 4 weeks and you've got 4 classes down. I think if you keep the momentum you can certainly knock out the other 2 courses in a month!

You must submit all of the course work by the final day of class. If you don't, then you will fail the class.

I get that I fail the class, but what are the practical consecuences of failing. Can continue in the next session where I left? Would that affect the gpa?

I will try and do that. How many do you have left to complete your degree?

I need 6 more. I was hoping to be able to add a minor. But it’s going to be dependent on how quickly I finish this next course.

You must maintain a 3.0 to remain in YourPace. I believe you have to start the class over if you fail it. Yes, failing a class impacts your GPA. Every course impacts your GPA.
