Failed multiple classes I took this semester. I’m a junior, so this is no bueno. These are my options. Pretend this is a Saw trap. In order to graduate, which would you choose?

respectfully, if you failed a ton of classes with a normal course load, i can’t see how overloading one semester is a good solution here😭

Whatevers cheapest and manageable, if you failed multiple classes on a normal workload i dont think overloading makes sense but also at my school overload credits are cheaper than a summer/winter course

Summer classes and/or extra semester/5th year, do NOT overload a semester with classes after failing some

Summer classes. It demonstrates to yourself that you’re taking actionable steps to get your academic career on the right track, rather than putting it off till later. Plus, completing the classes will give you some momentum and a morale boost to head into senior year on the right foot.

I took a fifth year w/ three classes per semester. It’s not that big of a deal tbh, I know people will make fun of shit but you do what you gotta do, and at the end of the day you’ll have your degree

Overload credits are cheaper money wise… but also involve more intensive coursework, which may not be the best thing for someone who just failed multiple classes on a normal courseload

It’s not cheaper if you fail classes again that semester
