I have it and I would just call them and see what you can do. I'm sure they can work with you, but you probably will end up paying the cost for that class out of pocket. I go to UNF too, hope you didn't have Rossi. That guy is a real ballbuster

I lost mine. They give you a semester to get it back to the GPA required. I lost mine because I failed a chemistry class or really didn't fail I made a D. Chemistry is horrible at UNF. I think I may have gotten my GPA back up high enough to regain it. Grades haven't posted yet so we will see. My GPA at the start of this semester was 2.55. I need a 2.75 to get it back. I hope I got it back because I know for sure already i got 3 B's. Waiting on Calculus. If not I am screwed. Who was your chemistry professor?

how did you manage to only take 11 hours and have bright futures pay for it? 11 hours is considered part-time.

One good thing is you have a semester to pull it back up over a 2.75 (which i think is the 75% threshold) and if you take more credit hours this semester it will carry more weight.

i had vergenz. he does these stupid esq's that are worth 2 letter grades and you have to get atleast a 90 on all 5 of them or you get a zero on that portion of your grade. i didnt pass the first one so that gave me an F. if i did pass the first one (which i think i did on the final, but he wont get back to me so i can pick up the final) i would have passed. its just bullshit.

You will have to pay out of pocket for the chem class, but if you can get your GPA back up to 2.75 after next semester, you will get it back. Good luck.
