What happens if I get a D in college?

It means you passed but that it wasn’t a satisfactory grade. If you have a high enough average, you probably don’t have an academic warning just because of one D.

It is just a record at a university. Most places of employment (exception is schools for a teaching job) won’t even want to see a university transcript, they will just see whatever GPA you put down on your resume.

Oh, and if you get a higher degree at another institution, maybe everything at your current one will be ignored by even the schools seeking teachers?

Basically, chill, you passed. Keep working hard in future classes instead of making one difficult experience lead to another. I’d probably be unhappy too. You could probably grade appeal if you think the grade was unfair but I’ve done it and it’s very time draining and difficult.

Addendum — You could retake the class. That might possibly slow you down in getting a degree but it might be worth it.

First, your parents will know so approach them don’t let them just discover it. Approach them with a plan about how you will overcome this. Do you plan to retake the course and improve the grade? If so let them know this.

Mom, Dad although I studied and attended extra tutoring courses I received a D in ____, but I plan to retake this course to have a better understanding and continue to pursue investment banking.

Whatever fits your situation.

A D is not an end all. Remember your GPA is an average. A few A’s will offset this one D.

Most employers will not consider your GPA, but the recommendations of your professors. Your character and knowledge are more important than how well you take a test or present in-front of a classroom. Can you translate the “theory” of a college class course into practical application.

This does not define you. You’ll be fine. This is a learning experience. Treat it as such.

You’ve passed your class. True, it doesn’t look pretty on your grade card. As long as your overall GPA is above a C average, you can still graduate. If you were planning on grad school, you will, of course, need a much higher GPA, so I’d re-take the class. Your life’s not going to be over if your parents don’t kill you, so I’d wait to tell them until years after you’ve graduated and you have a successful career in the investment banking field. When you do tell them, make sure it’s a relaxed moment, like y’all are sitting around in the hot tub or something. You’ll be okay.

Don’t panic. Go n get advice from your lecturer. Tell her your problem n ask her how to solve it. Don’t tell your parent yet. Your life not over because of a D grade……

don’t worry.i suggest you try and do really well in ur next class,probably something like get the highest grade or something and then tell both the grades to ur parents.good luck and have self confidence.u will surely rock

our university needs as low as an average of B minus in important class subjects

if we get lower than B minus in average, we are recommended to shift to another course

to me I retake the subjects and do it better or… take another course…?
