Oops, I'm not going to pass one of my classes this semester…• For all Biology and Supporting Courses, you need a C or
higher to pass. • If you do not pass a class:
Ø Consider WHY you did not pass. § What can you do differently?
Ø Try to retake it next semester§ This should be an UNUSUAL EVENT!§ Note that retaking classes uses up "repetition of course" units§ Understand the University policies beforeyou start using the repetition units!
Ø Make an appointment and get help!§ SamBarrozo,NSMRetentionSpecialist,MH-488,[email protected]

One important note
You are not "behind"!If you want to attend ANY graduate school, the
QUALITY of what you've completed on your transcript is far more meaningful than the
quantity of years it took.
Give every class you take your very best effort!
