WTF: What happens when you fail once course one semester and you get placed on OSAP probation, and you fail one course the following semester and some of your marks aren't great either, but yuou pass. Will they pull your OSAP? My winter osap has been approved, but i'm scared they won't give me once my marks for the fall comes out. Can that happaned even thought my fees have been arranged? I just need one more semester to prove myself.

    i don't blame you, it's kinda hard to see what you're typing when the format of this site only gives you a one-line box

    haha, don't worry about it man. Honestly, as long as you meet your minimum requirements I think you'll be fine. I think most programs have a 60% min so you should be fine.
    -if you don't meet your faculty's min, you'll prob go on probation for the next and you can make it up then.
    -if that doesn't work out as well, my suggestion is this: try to switch into another faculty. This may sound like a drastic decision but really it's not all that bad since you'll still be allowed to stay at UW. If you don't like the faculty, you can always come back into the original faculty if you like as well. You could probably take some of the core courses from the original faculty as electives in your "new" program as well.

    - there are so many ways to stay in school. Of course, the simplest way is to do well in your courses but I'm just saying, it's not the end of the world.

    ps. the best thing about starting a new faculty is that all your older marks don't get transferred! Brand new gpa baby!

    good advice 7:32, although i wouldn't recommended switching into a new program just so you can stay at uw, or any university for that matter. if you don't know what you're doing in school then maybe you're wasting your time/money/etc. but maybe not, even failing can be a good learning experience.

    yea I can understand that. but it just seemed to me that OP was concerned about not being able to come back for one more term where he/she could "prove" themselves.
