Solution to UNV-103: University Success - Topic 6 DQ 1.

SAMPLE 1

Hello class,

            As a nursing student at Grand Canyon University (GCU), I have learned the importance of understanding the academic and financial implications of not passing or dropping a class. Through my personal experience and conversations with my counselors, I have gained valuable insights into these situations. First, if I were to fail a class during my time at GCU, it would delay my overall degree progress and potentially prevent me from advancing to certain upper-division courses that require prerequisites. Conversely, it could take longer to graduate if I opted to retake the failed course.

            In terms of financial responsibilities, if I were to drop or fail a class, I would still be responsible for paying for that course. GCU has a no-refund policy after a week into the classes, thus dropping a class later in the semester means I would not get my tuition money back. Further, if I failed, I would have to pay a certain amount to retake the class in the future. This could get costly, especially when we take into account that scholarships and financial aid might be affected too if it takes extra time to complete the degree.

            To help avoid these undesirable outcomes, I have several measures put in place following advice from my counselors. One, in case I started to struggle with a class, I would reach out to my professors and academic advisors for support right away. This would be followed by meeting with my tutor or establishing a study group. Moreover, I could also choose to withdraw from the class before the refund deadline to avoid an F on my transcript. As a last resort, I would take an incomplete to buy more time if needed. Moving forward, I plan to be very proactive about time management, prioritizing my coursework, and getting academic assistance early on if issues arise. I believe having these layers of support and backup options in place will help me maximize my chances of success in each class and make steady progress toward graduation without economic setbacks.
