Got caught cheating in college... if i drop the course now (with failure) will my teacher drop charges?
i got caught cheating, immediately was upfront and told my professor the truth, it was my first time, and nothing has happened yet. he said he will make a decision soon on how to handle the situation. im afraid it will be on my transcript forever. if i go ahead and withdraw with failure from his class, will he drop charges? or should i just wait?
If I'm on academic probation, can I still drop a class?
You need to talk to your academic advisor, because your question is actually really complex. Right now you're a full time student. Are you in college housing? Are you getting financial aid? I ask because if you drop this class, you fall down to part-time status. That will change your aid eligibility, and also require you to leave university housing. There are additional financial aid issues as well, related to your academic probation. If your GPA falls too low, you get academically suspended, plus you risk losing your financial aid. But you *also* risk losing your financial aid if your rate of course completion versus attempts gets too low. So you have to speak to your advisor before you drop this class. I suspect you'll need to keep it. So work with the professor so you better understand her expectations. Go to her office hours or make an appointment, and review that exam. Make sure you leave with a better understanding of what she wants re: her exam questions, and then try to provide that on your next exam. You say you study your butt off, and I believe you; that means that you're studying the wrong stuff, or you're studying incorrectly - and that, you can fix. In addition, you can also bring this exam and your assignments for this class to the tutoring center on campus, and even if they don't have a tutor for this field of study, they can help you review your study skills and exam taking techniques in general, which can help. Work with your other teachers in this manner as well. I know you're passing those classes, but see if you can get your grades in those classes a bit higher by reviewing past exams and assignments with the professors, with a goal of better understanding what they want. If you can do that, then it's possible that even if you get a D in this hard class, you'll get Bs in the other ones, and you could boost your GPA enough to get them to let you stay.
Is it bad to drop a college course?
Whomever it was that told you that you cannot get a job if you drop a college course is a complete idiot! You can drop a course and still get a good job. Your prospective employee does not receive a copy of your college transcript to see if you ever dropped a course or not and frankly, they wouldn't care if you did. The only thing they care about is whether or not you completed the degree and what kind of knowledge you have to benefit the company. If you feel that you are going to get a bad grade and that there is no possible way that you could pull this grade up to a C+ minimum by the end of the semester, than it is best for you to drop the class. Having a W on your transcript is alway far better than having a C or below, especially if you want to continue on to graduate school at some point in time.
Is it bad to drop courses in college?
I feel uniquely qualified to answer this. I had several dropped courses on my transcript.When I was first looking for a Co-op Job (Internship), all employers were allowed to see our transcripts. Some asked to see the transcripts up front (almost used them in place of resumes, since college students had no job history to speak of).Every single employer asked me to explain every single dropped grade. Almost every single employer's eyes glazed over as soon as they saw it.One employer did not ask for my transcript, because they wanted to just evaluate the person first. The interview was a "personality test". I generally have always passed these sorts of interviews with flying colors. The employer seemed to like me a lot, and even commented that I was the most pleasant interviewee they had had all day. At the end of the interview, I was given an e-mail address and asked to send a copy of my transcript. I was told that it was just a formality, and that I was the right person for the job. I went home in a very happy mood and immediately composed a thank you letter, and included my transcript.I never heard back from them, not even a rejection letter...............Long story short. If the employer asks to see your transcript, then it matters. They will see every bump and blemish as a red flag. Unless you only have 1 or 2 situations like that, and it's on an otherwise spotless transcript, you probably have no chance. That's just the way it is. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble........However, after I graduated college and got my first job, no one has asked to see my transcript since. I have not personally looked at my college grades in 20 years, and I would be shocked if someone asked to see them at this point. No one cares past the very first job. After that it's just, "What have you done lately?"
Professors: If a student was doing poorly in your course and decided to drop the course partway through the semester, would you allow the student to still attend lectures if they wanted to?
Sure. In fact, there is a special status at my university for “auditors,” who are students who are attending lectures but not doing the work. Students occasionally enroll as auditors for extra classes where they want some exposure to the material. The course appears on their transcript with the special grade AU.Students who are dropping my class sometimes ask if they can “change their status to audit” instead of dropping altogether. Sometimes, I suspect, they are worried that they might offend me if they dropped my class outright. But in general, they are interested in the material and just don’t have time to keep up with the work anymore.Unfortunately, I’ve found that auditors rarely keep attending all the way to the end of the course. It’s too easy to stop coming when they get too busy with other work. (In principle I am supposed to indicate that they stopped attending so that the AU course doesn’t appear on their transcript. But since I don’t take attendance, I always worry that maybe I was wrong and they actually were coming most of the time and sitting in the back.)
What happens financial aid wise if you drop a class within the time of a withdrawel?
No matter what kind of iAd you have, it has been awarded based on your status has full-time or a half-time student. I am going to assume you are a full-time student. Your aid goes first to pay tuition and fees. Any residual funds are refunded to you, usually 2-3 weeks after school started. If by dropping the class within the refund period, the finds revert to the financial aid office. The money was paid based on your status as a full-time student, and if you drop below full-time, you are not entitled to those funds, which is why the monies are not refunded to you directly. If you drop below full time, however, any refund you already got is going to have to be returned to student financial aid office. Again, it was awarded to you based on your full-time status, you're no longer full time, you cannot keep the money. Rest assured, the school most certainly DOES micro-manage your student financial aid, whether it is federally funded grants add loans, or school-based scholarship. This oversight is required by federal law. If you return to school full-time in the next semester, your financial aid will be adjusted to cover the overpayments of this term. If you were to leave school at the end of this term, without really paying the over funding, you will have an outstanding debt that will be reported to the credit bureau and will render you in eligible for future and until it straightened out. If you withdrew from the class within the refund period, you will not get an F. Your transcript will show a "W" (withdrawn) instead of a grade. Do yourself a favor, and make an appointment with a financial aid conselour to discuss this matter. You will feel better about it if you understand what's going on with your aid.
Should I join coaching again in drop year if I studied in FIITJEE for 2 years?
It seemed to me as if I was reading a question that is asked by me. Hah! I am in the same situation as you are right now. I am enrolled in FIITJEE Punjabi Bagh centre since 1 year. Yes, I joined FIITJEE in my 12th class which was the biggest mistake. Managing 12th boards and studying whole of the class 11th was impossible for me. At last, when I got my preboards result of mere 45%, I was scared af. (I got this score because I didn't studied class 12th syllabus till January 2017. I was struggling completing my class 11th syllabus for IIT-JEE.) After my preboards, on January 28th, I shifted my focus to class 12th and left the JEE preparation there itself because of which I am hardly clearing the cutoffs in JEE Mains 2017 and icing on the cake is that I didn't even filled the form for BITS; pretty much fucked up right now.So what I have decided is, I will take a drop this year. I also thought about joining any good private engineering college and preparing for IIT-JEE side by side but their is no benefit of stepping on two boats simultaneously because when I would be in 3rd year of my Engineering, I don't want this regret to strike my mind that what if I had taken a drop at the right time. This regret would be with one, his/her whole life and I don't want this regret to stay with me. So, I am gonna give my best shot, kick everyone's asses and destroy the IIT-JEE 2018 with my full power and determination. Moreover, if you got a good college after dropping one year, be it IITs, BITS, NITs or any other, this one year drop won't even bother you in the long run.I was just telling you about my opinion to the situation. You still got a shot at BITS and JEE Advanced. Just kill it. Taking a drop should be the plan C.If you feel any need to discuss, just message me. I know that it feels good to discuss your problem with the one who is in somewhat same situation as yours.So just stay motivated and give your best shot. All the very best for upcoming exams!
