Well, all of my grades are in, worst report card ever!
Question is, do I tell my parents that I failed a class?

If you're in high school, they'll eventually find out.

I'll assume you're in college...

If they're paying and ask, don't lie. If they're not paying and they ask, don't lie unless they'll hate you forever.

Study harder next time.

If they're paying for your classes you do! Now get your act together! <smack!>

Yes I'm in college, yes they pay for everything.
It was an Anthropology class from hell. The only class that I wanted to cry in it was so boring.

In that case, no.

Do you go on academic probation if your GPA for the quarter is below 2.0, or your cumulative GPA is below a 2.0?

Varies from college to college. Should be on the academic policies website of your school.

 

[rgwalt]

It changes from school to school, but many schools say that if you let your GPA drop below 2.0 in one semester OR cumulative, then you go on probation.

Stick to your guns next semester, and good luck.

Well, one class shouldn't put you on probation if the rest of your grades are decent. If your parents ask, don't lie. Just explain to them how difficult (probably shouldn't use "boring") the class was. Hopefully, they'll understand.

you failed an anthro class? damn you are a dumbass.

hi, i failed a calss this quarter too, worst quarter ever, and i got below a 2.0, which means i'm on academic probation...but what exactly does academic probation mean??

[littlezipp]

My grades were 2 C's, one D, and one F.
This gives me a quarter GPA of 1.29 :Q.
I am worried about getting kicked out, and not my parents now!

UCD's policies...

A student may repeat only courses in which they received a D, F or NP.
What do I do if I have received a notification of dismissal?
You must meet with an academic counselor in the Letters & Science Advising Office to establish a set of conditions (contract) to be met before reinstatement is considered.
What do I do once I have met my contract?
You must return immediately to the L&S Advising Office to confirm that you have satisfied the conditions.
What is academic disqualification?
An undergraduate is placed on subject to disqualification when their overall or quarterly grade point average drops below 1.5, or when they have been on probation for 2 consecutive quarters.

1.29!!!! holy crap!

 

[littlezipp]

I know I feel sick.
Do they kick you out for that?
I've had a full time job since December, it looks like it took its toll!

"What is academic probation?

Well, reading that to me means that I am on academic probation, but not at risk to getting kicked out. Yes I have above a 1.5!
I did not even get a C grade till this year!

 

[Chau]

i thought u had a 1.29? tha'ts below 1.5...

also, it says if u get below 2.0 is academic probation, but what does this mean??? what happens when im on academic probation?? i got a 1.6

 

[gopunk]

I can't figure out what this wording is saying! What does it all mean!

Yes, that goes without saying!
But will there be a next quarter?

Dude, I've seen lower than that! No, it's not mine! 0.7 to be exact!

 

[Azraele]

I'd tell your parents. They are paying, and they might have some advice/help to offer. I'd also seek out a campus advisor to guide you on how to proceed from here.

well it seems to me that they are saying if you have a 1.5 or below, you will be kicked out, otherwise, if you are not above 2.0, you will be put on academic probation.

 

[gopunk]

if i could offer a piece of advice, take fewer classes next quarter.
