One semester later I did, indeed, graduate with a 4.0. I had done it. And after that, my GPA did . . . Nothing. I never planned on going to graduate school. I wasn’t applying for jobs that used grades as a measurement. I didn’t need that GPA for any single reason other than to SAY I had it and impress people. I could turn this into an argument for “Let’s reward a high GPA after college in LIFE! Can we get priority seating on Southwest? A free monthly refill at Starbucks? SOMETHING to make four years of my life chasing this arbitrary number WORTH it?!” (Great idea. Never gonna happen.) Or I could argue that if I’d been easier on myself and gotten 10 percent worse grades I could have had 50 percent more friendships and fun. If someone’s takeaway from this story is “Felicia Day said don’t study!,” I’ll punch you in the face. But I AM saying don’t chase perfection for perfection’s sake, or for anyone else’s sake at all. If you strive for something, make sure it’s for the right reasons. And if you fail, that will be a better lesson for you than any success you’ll ever have. Because you learn a lot from screwing up. Being perfect . . . not so much.

What makes the SAT bad is that it has nothing to do with what kids learn in high school. As a result, it creates a sort of shadow curriculum that furthers the goals of neither educators nor students.… The SAT has been sold as snake oil; it measured intelligence, verified high school GPA, and predicted college grades. In fact, it’s never done the first two at all, nor a particularly good job at the third.” Yet students who don’t test well or who aren’t particularly strong at the kind of reasoning the SAT assesses can find themselves making compromises on their collegiate futures—all because we’ve come to accept that intelligence comes with a number. This notion is pervasive, and it extends well beyond academia. Remember the bell‐shaped curve we discussed earlier? It presents itself every time I ask people how intelligent they think they are because we’ve come to define intelligence far too narrowly. We think we know the answer to the question, “How intelligent are you?” The real answer, though, is that the question itself is the wrong one to ask.

When you force yourself to focus on just the person and their work, not their glorified past, you also end up giving more people a chance. There’s no GPA filter to cut out someone who didn’t care for certain parts of their schooling. There’s no pedigree screen to prevent the self-taught from getting hired. There’s no arbitrary “years of experience” cut to prevent a fast learner from applying to a senior position. Great people who are eager to do great work come from the most unlikely places and look nothing like what you might imagine. Focusing just on the person and their work is the only way to spot them.

Step 1 gets you the baseline, the GPA you would have predicted if you were told nothing about Julie beyond the fact that she is a graduating senior. In the absence of information, you would have predicted the average. (This is similar to assigning the base-rate probability of business administration graduates when you are told nothing about Tom W.) Step 2 is your intuitive prediction, which matches your evaluation of the evidence. Step 3 moves you from the baseline toward your intuition, but the distance you are allowed to move depends on your estimate of the correlation. You end up, at step 4, with a prediction that is influenced by your intuition but is far more moderate.

Of the 95 percent who went on to graduate college, their average GPA was 3.6, and by 1994, 60 percent had received a graduate degree. There was little debate that high school success predicted college success. Nearly 90 percent are now in professional careers with 40 percent in the highest tier jobs. They are reliable, consistent, and well-adjusted, and by all measures the majority have good lives.

You had to compete against students who'd grown up in rich families, attended private schools, hired personal tutors. People who had been dreaming since kindergarten of becoming doctors. Who had family photos of themselves in tiny white coats, holding plastic stethoscopes to teddy bear bellies.

When both males and females were considered as a single group, the impact of having a roommate classified as a frequent or occasional precollege drinker was to reduce a student’s end-of-year GPA by more than a tenth of a point on a four-point scale. But the effect was dramatically larger for males than for females. Relative to males whose roommates were nondrinkers, those whose roommates were frequent precollege drinkers had end-of-year GPAs that were 0.28 lower; for those whose roommates were occasional drinkers, the corresponding deficit was almost as great, 0.26 lower. These effects are comparable to the effect of a student’s own high school GPA being lower by half a point, or to having scored fifty points lower on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.27 By far the most dramatic impact observed in this study was for males who were themselves frequent precollege drinkers and were randomly assigned to a roommate who was also a frequent precollege drinker. Relative to the overall sample GPA, these males had end-of-year GPAs that were almost a full point lower.28

As computers gained new status and exploded in popularity, hacker conferences and computer clubs sprang up across the San Francisco Bay Area, and enrollment in computer science classes surged at universities across the country. Demand became so great that some departments began turning students away. There was an overall peak in bachelor’s degrees awarded in computer science in the mid-1980s, and a peak in the percentage of women receiving those degrees at nearly 40 percent. And then there was a steep decline in both. It wasn’t that students were inexplicably abandoning this exciting field. It was that universities couldn’t attract enough faculty to meet growing demand. They increased class size and retrained teachers—even brought in staff from other departments—but when that wasn’t enough, they started restricting admission to students based on grades. At Berkeley, only students with a 4.0 GPA were allowed to major in electrical engineering and computer science. Across the country, the number of degrees granted started to fall.

Just as computer science was erecting barriers to entry, medicine—an equally competitive and selective field—was adjusting them. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, dozens of new medical schools opened across the country, and many of the newly created spots went to women. Standardized entry exams also began to change. In 1977, the MCAT, a test for entrance into medical school, was revamped to reduce cultural and social bias. But the game changer was the implementation of Title IX, which prohibits sexual discrimination in educational programs. From then on, if a woman could score high enough on the newly revised MCATs and meet other requirements, med schools could not legally deny her entry, and women poured in. Why wasn’t the same progress being made in computer science? Professor Eric Roberts, now at Stanford, was chairing the computer science department at Wellesley when the department instituted a GPA threshold. Of that period he later wrote, “In the 1970s, students were welcomed eagerly into this new and exciting field. Around 1984, everything changed. Instead of welcoming students, departments began trying to push them away.

We believe that students are in the best position to maximize their experience at our institution when they complete challenging and rigorous classes that are offered at their high school.

为各种原因遭开除、劝退、停学、或退学的学生(涉嫌作弊、成绩太差、 出勤低、触犯校规等),提供第二次机会
许多中国学生怀着对美国大学的向往,来到美国读高中、本科、研究生,独自学习和生活。随着时间推移,一下令学生和家长意想不到的问题逐渐浮出水面。此时新鲜感荡然无存,随之而来的是紧张、恐慌、不知所措。近几年这种现象越来越多。导致这些现象发生大致为:
1 涉嫌作弊:考试作弊,成绩造假
2 成绩太差:GPA 低于 2.0;
3 出勤低:低于国际学生Full-Time要求:
4 触犯校规:文化差异等引发的触犯校规,常见有打架、酗酒、飙车等
美国有些大学采用开放考试,允许学生把把试卷拿回家考试,称为Take-home Exam, 有些刚来美国的中国学生,认为可以和同学们一起讨论、做作业,以为此方法对于美国的Take-home Exam同样适用。殊不知,不少同学在愉快地完成考试的同时,也触碰到了学术雷区,被学校处分。
【案例】郑同学在达拉斯某大学攻读研究生,不料一天学校突然收到了ETS的官方认定,说郑同学GRE作弊 ,取消考试成绩。当时大学马上约谈郑同学。郑同学非常紧张,立即联络我们。
【案例】赵同学是纽约上州某名校的本科生,一次老师布置了take home exam,他因为生病,快到截至日期前他还没有完成试卷,于是就向另一位同学要来了答案,草草完成卷子交了上去。之后被教授发现了问题,判定他抄袭其他人的答案,把情况上报给了学校。学校认为他抄袭现象比较明显,给出了开除的处分,并允许学生在学校听证会陈述。赵同学家长住纽约法拉盛,紧急联络我们。
【案例】向同学在费城某一般大学读本科,学习很努力。但是在一次take home exam后,学校给她邮件,判定她在考试中 作弊 ,作出开除的决定。向同学接到邮件,如晴天霹雳,感到十分委屈,不明白自己错在哪里。她连夜赶到纽约找到我们。我们详细询问她的考试过程之后才知道,她在卷子上写了大量

Turns out, there was one—and only one—characteristic that distinguished the happiest 10 percent from everybody else: the strength of their social relationships. My empirical study of well-being among 1,600 Harvard undergraduates found a similar result—social support was a far greater predictor of happiness than any other factor, more than GPA, family income, SAT scores, age, gender, or race. In fact, the correlation between social support and happiness was 0.7. This may not sound like a big number, but for researchers it’s huge—most psychology findings are considered significant when they hit 0.3. The point is, the more social support you have, the happier you are. And as we know, the happier you are, the more advantages you accrue in nearly every domain of life.

Even more controversial was Google’s insistence on relying on academic metrics for mature adults whose work experience would seem to make college admission test scores and GPAs moot. In her interview for Google’s top HR job, Stacy Sullivan, then age thirty-five, was shocked when Brin and Page asked for her SAT scores. At first she challenged the practice. “I don’t think you should ask something from when people were sixteen or seventeen years old,” she told them. But Page and Brin seemed to believe that Google needed those … data. They believed that SAT scores showed how smart you were. GPAs showed how hard you worked. The numbers told the story. It never failed to astound midcareer people when Google asked to exhume those old records. “You’ve got to be kidding,” said R. J. Pittman, thirty-nine years old at the time, to the recruiter who asked him to produce his SAT scores and GPA. He was a Silicon Valley veteran, and Google had been wooing him. “I was pretty certain I didn’t have a copy of my SATs, and you can’t get them after five years or something,” he says. “And they’re, ‘Well, can you try to remember, make a close guess?’ I’m like, ‘Are you really serious?’ And they were serious. They will ask you questions about a grade that you got in a particular computer science class in college: Was there any reason why that wasn’t an A? And you think, ‘What was I doing way back then?

1.11 Why Do Myths About Intelligence Definitions and Measurement Persist?
Given all this strong empirical evidence that intelligence test scores are meaningful, why does the myth persist that scores have little if any validity? Here is an informative example. From time to time, a college admissions representative will assert that in their institution they find no relationship between grade point average (GPA) and SAT scores. Such observations are virtually always based on a lack of understanding of a basic statistical principle regarding the correlation between two variables. To calculate a correlation between any two variables, there must be a wide range of scores for each variable. At a place like MIT, for example, most students fall in a narrow range of high SAT scores. This is a classic problem of restriction of range. There is little variance among the students, so in this case, the relationship between GPA and SAT scores will not be very strong. Sampling from just the high end or just the low end or just the middle of a distribution restricts range and results in spuriously low or zero correlations. Restriction of range actually accounts for many findings about what intelligence test scores “fail” to predict.

With her strong GPA and merely quite good scores, busy athletic schedule, and character-building volunteer efforts, Portia Nathan’s application would have left this room with a fatal designation of Academic 3/Non-Academic 4, meaning that in the real world her scholastic skills were solid, but in Princeton’s supercharged applicant pool they were unremarkable, and that although she had been busy within her school community, she had not been a leader within that community (NonAc 3) or distinguished herself at the state level (NonAc 2), let alone accomplished something on a national or international scale (NonAc 1). NonAc 1’s, of course, were rather thin on the ground, even in Princeton’s applicant pool. They were Olympic athletes, authors of legitimately published books, Siemens prizewinners, working film or Broadway actors, International Tchaikovsky Competition violinists, and, yes, national judo champions, and they tended to be easy admits, provided they were strong students, which they usually were.

So how did an entire generation of billions of people today come to universally accept planet Earth as being 4.6 billion years old? The answer is simple: It is because most people just believe what they are told, and errant scientists have crammed their guesswork down their throats. Today, we are inundated daily with newspapers, magazines, newscasters, and schoolteachers regurgitating scientist’s theories. But, friend, let us call a spade a spade; a theory is a guess! Therefore, the theory of macroevolution and the big bang theory are nothing more than speculation. And these two theories demand a very old Earth and universe to be true, so scientist — without definitive evidence — falsely assume they are! And, unfortunately, their guesses are being taught as truth to our children in schools. Thus, we have the perfect storm for festering evil: A generation of Biblically illiterate kids are growing up believing whatever their teachers teach them in school, which contradicts the Bible trueness! Friend, the great “end time” deception is in full force! Paul wrote about it: “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of … And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures” (II Timothy 3:13-15). As a 3 year Chemistry/Biochemistry majored collegiate student with a 3.84 GPA, let me assure you there is not a single test a scientist can perform to absolutely, positively verify the age of something! The tests all involve assumptions — including radiometric dating — and therein lay the error. Are you really going to throw away hard, cold, ancient, Biblical “end times” prophetic evidence, including the 7 day Creation story’s amazing prophetic verbiage, all of which support the truth of a 6,000 year old Earth, to believe in mankind’s scientific guesses? Allow me to tell you first HOW the world was created, for the answer is in Scripture! Then we will investigate how the great “end-time” deceptive theories like macroevolution & the big bang arrived, claiming a very old universe. Friend, the method God used to create the world is blatantly flaunted in a miracle Jesus performed twice. I want you to seriously consider the miracle, for it appears God wanted the miracle to be remembered above ALL other miracles, because it is the ONLY one contained in ALL 4 Gospels. And rightly so, for it should be contemplated by all: The

美国留学读本科GPA低怕被开除,了解一下有什么办法
在美国读本科的同学,最怕的可能不是作业多、考试难,而是 GPA 一直提不上去。挂科多了,分数越压越低,学校就会先给你学术警告(probation),要是情况没改善,真的有可能被劝退。对于当事人那种压力真的很大。
但即便 GPA 已经很危险,也不是完全没办法。常见的几条路我给大家梳理一下。
第一,重修。
重修算一个办法,尤其是必修课,能用新的分数覆盖旧成绩,对 GPA 会有帮助,只是周期比较长。
第二,申诉。
如果是身体原因、家里突发状况之类的客观因素影响了学习,可以先尝试走学校的申诉流程。大多数美国大学都会有相应的渠道,不是完全没有机会转变被退学/开除的局面。
第三,转学。
有些同学会想换一所大学,重新开始。但现实情况是,美国各个学校的学分转换并不完全统一,能转多少学分要看课程匹配度,有时候转过去发现要补修一大堆课,结果时间还拉长了,成本也更高。
第四,也是我更想重点说的:跨本申硕。+v:425059101
很多同学可能第一次听这个词,其实就是指在本科没能顺利完成学业的情况下,不是死磕本科,而是把眼光放到研究生阶段,直接申请硕士项目。听起来有点“跳级”的意思,但在英国、澳洲等地,这类途径是可行的,部分学校会接受有本科背景但未毕业的申请人去读硕士。
跨本申硕的好处在于:
·节省时间:比起回头重新读本科,可以更快进入硕士阶段。
·学历提升:最后拿到的是硕士学位,竞争力都更强。
·方向更灵活:本科读得不顺利,其实也能借这个机会转专业,换一个更适合自己的发展轨道。
举个例子,我之前接触过一个学生,本科在美国读化学专业,因为 GPA 不够一直担心毕不了业,但是不甘心想再试试,最后该是因为GPA低于2.0被学校开除了。最后他选择了申请英国的硕士,转战商科专业,毕业后做了硕士学历认证完成逆袭。
所以,如果你现在 GPA 已经很危险,一定要慎重考虑自己是否能读下去,若读不下去早点换个专业换个赛道。重修、申诉、转学这些办法都有,也可以跨本申硕。

什么是GPA低被开除?
想象一下,你在加拿大的校园里,枫叶飘落,生活看似美好,突然收到一封学校的邮件,告诉你因为加拿大挂科GPA低被开除,整个人瞬间懵了!这封信就像一记重拳,告诉你学籍可能被暂停甚至取消。GPA(Grade Point Average)是衡量你学术表现的关键指标,如果因为挂科导致GPA过低,学校可能会要求你“停学”或“退学”。别慌,这篇文章就是你的“急救包”,教你如何应对这场学业危机。
为什么会因为GPA低被开除?
GPA低通常是因为挂科太多,或者成绩长期低于学校要求的最低标准。加拿大的大学对学术表现要求严格,尤其是国际学生,签证和学籍都跟GPA挂钩。收到开除通知是不是让你觉得天塌了?别急,我们一步步教你如何翻盘!
加拿大留学挂科导致GPA低被开除停学怎么办 联系:【telegram∶@SEP887】
理解挂科和GPA低的背景
加拿大大学的学术标准
加拿大的大学以高标准著称,大多数学校要求学生保持至少2.0的GPA(满分4.0)才能维持正常学籍。如果你的GPA低于这个线,比如1.5甚至更低,学校会启动“学术观察”或直接发出警告信。你是不是觉得加拿大的评分体系有点像“闯关游戏”,一不小心就Game Over?
挂科的常见原因
挂科的原因千奇百怪:可能是语言障碍,课堂上听不懂教授的“天书”;可能是时间管理不当,熬夜赶作业却还是不及格;也可能是生活压力,比如打工太多或心理焦虑。我有个朋友小李,刚来加拿大时因为英语不好,考试总是“翻车”,GPA一路下滑。你是不是也有类似的经历?别觉得自己不行,很多留学生都踩过这些坑。
GPA低被开除的触发条件
学校不会随便开除学生。通常,当你的GPA连续两个学期低于最低要求,或者挂科的学分占比过高(比如超过40%),学校会发出警告信,甚至直接通知你停学或退学。这就像学校的“红灯警告”,提醒你得赶紧行动了。你准备好应对了吗?
收到开除通知的第一反应
冷静分析通知内容
收到加拿大挂科GPA低被开除的通知,第一件事就是深呼吸,别让恐慌占据你的大脑。仔细读学校的邮件或信件,搞清楚具体问题:是临时停学(suspension)还是永久开除(dismissal)?信里会说明你的GPA情况、需要采取的行动,以及上诉的截止日期。学校不是要立刻赶你走,而是给你一个解释的机会。
不要忽视截止日期
开除通知通常会附带一个上诉期限,比如7到14天。错过这个期限,你可能彻底失去学籍,甚至影响签证。赶紧把截止日期记下来,用手机设置提醒。时间就像赛跑的倒计时,拖延只会让你输在起跑线!
如何应对GPA低被开除
准备上诉的步骤
分析挂科原因
首先,诚实面对自己的问题。是因为语言问题、学习方法不对,还是生活上的困难?比如,你是不是因为打工时间太长,复习时间不够?把原因写下来,挑出最关键的几个,在上诉信中清晰表达。学校想看到你有自省能力,而不是一堆推卸责任的借口。
收集相关证据
空口无凭,得有证据支持你的说法!如果是因为健康问题导致挂科,提交医疗证明;如果家庭有突发情况,提供相关文件。证据越具体,学校越可能相信你的情况是暂时的。就像在法庭上辩护,你得拿出“铁证”来为自己争取机会。
撰写上诉信
上诉信要正式但真诚,结构可以是:1)承认GPA低的问题,2)解释挂科原因,3)提出具体的改进计划。比如,你可以说:“我因为适应新环境导致GPA低,但我已报名语言课程并调整了学习计划。”语气要积极,展现你对学业的决心。想不想知道一个成功的上诉信长啥样?网上有模板,但别照抄,学校最讨厌“复制粘贴”!
寻求专业帮助
别觉得自己能单枪匹马搞定!加拿大的大学通常有学术顾问、学生支持中心,甚至免费的心理辅导服务,专门帮你应对这种危机。你也可以找专业的留学顾问,他们对加拿大挂科GPA低被开除的情况了如指掌,能帮你润色上诉信,甚至陪你参加听证会。有个“军师”在旁边,是不是感觉安心多了?
与学校沟通的技巧
如果学校要求你参加听证会,别害怕!提前准备好你的论点,练习如何清晰表达。面对学校官员时,保持礼貌和自信,主动承认错误并强调你的改进计划。就像跟老师解释为什么作业没交,态度和准备决定成败。
预防未来GPA低的策略
制定学习计划
挂科的教训够惨痛了吧?现在是时候制定一个靠谱的学习计划了!每周安排固定的学习时间,把大作业拆成小任务,提前准备考试。试试用Notion或Trello,把每门课的due date整理清楚。计划就像导航仪,没有它你会在学业里迷路。
利用学校资源
加拿大的大学资源多得像个宝藏库!学术写作中心、免费tutoring、图书馆的在线数据库……这些都能帮你提高成绩。很多学校还有“study skills workshop”,教你如何记笔记、准备考试。你用了这些资源没有?别让它们蒙尘!
心理健康与时间管理
留学生活压力大,心理健康不能忽视。如果觉得自己焦虑或迷茫,去学校的counseling service聊聊。时间管理也很关键,别让打工或社交挤占学习时间。试试番茄工作法,25分钟专注学习,5分钟休息,效率蹭蹭往上涨!你是不是也想试试这种方法?
可能的后果与应对措施
开除通知的可能结果
提交上诉后,学校会根据你的情况决定下一步。最好的结果是允许你继续学习,可能附带条件,比如必须在下学期提高GPA。最坏的情况是被暂停学籍,甚至永久开除。但别怕,只要你上诉得当,学校通常会给机会。
如果被暂停学籍怎么办?
如果真的被停学,别绝望!你可以申请上诉,说明为什么学校的决定不公平。如果上诉失败,可以考虑转学到其他学校,甚至回国重新规划。就像游戏里失败了一关,总有下一关等着你去挑战。
总结
关键要点回顾
加拿大挂科GPA低被开除听起来吓人,但它不是终点!冷静分析通知,准备好上诉信,借助学校和专业资源,你完全有希望扭转局面。更重要的是,从这次危机中吸取教训,调整学习策略,未来的路会越走越宽。你准备好重新出发了吗?加拿大留学挂科被开除退学/约克大学挂科/多伦多大学挂科/加拿大考试作弊被发现/收到学校警告信联系:【telegram∶@SEP887】

挂科的定义及常见情况
挂科,通常指课程成绩不及格(F),或者连续几门课程成绩过低,导致整体 GPA 下滑。在美国,本科一般 GPA 在 4.0 满分计算,低于 2.0 就意味着学生在学术上严重落后于标准。常见情况包括:
课程作业未完成或成绩差
出勤率低导致考试失利
学习方法不当或时间管理失败
GPA低于2.0的影响
GPA 低于 2.0 的影响非常严重,不仅可能触发退学警告,还会影响:
奖学金或助学金资格
实习、工作申请
未来继续深造或转学
这就是为什么“挂科GPA低于2.0被退学开除警告”绝不能掉以轻心。
挂科GPA低于2.0被退学开除警告的原因分析
理解问题根源,才能对症下药。大部分学生被警告,主要有以下几类原因:
学术表现不达标
学校有明确的 GPA 要求,如果连续学期成绩低于 2.0,就会被列入学术警告名单。这种情况通常源于学习效率低、缺乏主动性或课程难度过高。
课程缺席与作业未完成
美国大学非常重视课堂参与和作业完成情况。经常缺课、作业拖延或未按要求提交,都可能导致挂科甚至 GPA 下滑。
学术诚信问题
抄袭、代写或其他学术不端行为,一旦被发现,不仅会挂科,还可能直接触发退学警告。这类问题严重影响学生学术记录,是最危险的原因之一。
被退学开除警告的流程
学校的退学警告不是突然发生的,它通常有明确流程。
学校通知与正式警告
当 GPA 低于 2.0 或学术表现不达标时,学校会先发出学术警告(Academic Probation),说明学生可能面临退学风险,并提供改善期限。
申诉与听证机会
学生如果对成绩或警告有异议,可以向学校提出申诉或参加听证。很多学校允许提供补救材料或证明个人努力的证据,以争取保留学籍。
面对退学警告的应对策略
挂科或低 GPA 并非末日,关键是采取正确的策略。
补考与重修课程
大部分学校允许学生补考或重修挂科课程,这是最直接提高 GPA 的方法。需要提前规划时间,确保每门重修课程都能取得合格成绩。
学术辅导与时间管理
寻求辅导老师帮助或参加学习小组,可以提高学习效率。同时,合理规划时间表,确保每门课程的作业和复习都有足够时间。
申请留级或转学
如果学业压力过大,留级一年或转学也是可行选择。留级可以给自己更多时间提升 GPA,转学则可能重新开始一个新的学术环境。
心理调适与压力管理
学术问题容易导致焦虑和自责,但心理健康同样重要。
面对失败的心理建设
被警告并不等于失败,而是提醒你调整方法。保持积极心态,视挑战为学习机会,比单纯焦虑更有效。
寻求心理咨询与支持
美国大学提供心理咨询服务,学生可以寻求专业帮助,同时和朋友、家人分享压力,减少孤立感。
成功案例分享与经验借鉴
看看别人是如何逆转局势的,能给你不少启发。

在美国,大学也会为学生的学术水平打分,成绩等级划分跟国内还是有一定相似度的,美国大学成绩f和d的区别,美国大学多采用四分GPA制,分为五个等级,一般来说,A是总分的90%及以上,属于优秀等级,B是达到80%,属于良,C是达到总分的70%,也就是及格成绩,D是达到60%,属于待及格,其实已经算是挂科了,F只有60%一下,是不及格的成绩,同样是挂科。美国大学拿F/留学生挂科/美国研究生挂科/美国研究生最后一学期挂科/美国研究生C能算挂科吗/大学fial 一科联系【telegram∶@SEP887】
成绩单上有F的后果:
1.GPA影响:
F计为0分,会显著拉低你的累积GPA(Cumulative GPA)。例如,如果一门3学分的必修课得F,而你的其他课程平均分是B(3.0),GPA可能下降0.5或更多,具体取决于总学分。
低GPA可能影响奖学金、助学金(如Pell Grant)或荣誉项目资格。许多学校要求GPA至少2.0,低于此可能触发学术警告(Academic Probation)。
2.学分和毕业要求:
必修课F通常意味着没有获得该课程学分,可能导致总学分不足,推迟毕业。
如果这门课是后续课程的先修课(prerequisite),你可能无法注册相关课程,影响学术进度。
3.学术警告或留校察看:
如果F导致GPA低于学校要求(通常2.0或更高),你可能被列入学术警告或留校察看名单。
留校察看期间,你需要在规定学期内(通常1-2学期)将GPA提升到要求水平,否则可能面临停学(Suspension)或退学(Dismissal)。
4.学习就业:
实习/求职:一些雇主(尤其金融、咨询等行业)可能要求成绩单,F可能影响竞争力。
研究生申请:F在必修课可能被招生官特别关注,尤其是专业相关课程,需在申请中解释或通过重修改善。
美国大学挂科怎么办
如果只有一两门课程不及格,只要没有被开除,学生依然可以在补修学分之后毕业,具体的操作方法要看学校的政策、科目的重要程度(必修还是选修)和学生现在处于哪个年级。
通常来说,学校会给予两种补修方式:一是直接提供补考机会,补考成绩有时会降一档,但会保证学生能拿到学分。这类情况一般在大课和必修课中实施,但是并不是所有学校都会有这类政策。二是在下一学期允许学生重修课程或选择修其他课程来补分,值得注意的是,这种情况下,如果学生已经处于最后一学期,那么就需要申请延迟毕业了。所以尽快联系我们能够最好的帮助你解决问题美国大学拿F/留学生挂科/美国研究生挂科/美国研究生最后一学期挂科/美国研究生C能算挂科吗/大学fial 一科联系【telegram∶@SEP887】提供方案可靠的助你渡过难关。
