You get a Required to Withdraw from Engineering. If that happens to you and have (can make up) a good reason, you can petition it. It makes no sense to waste your whole degree for one course.
I don't understand why people get tutors for university courses, every course has TAs/IAs with office hours, take advantage of them - you already pay for tuition. Or make an appointment through email, many are very willing to help out. It's their job.
2a makes a good point but some TAs are useless or impatient. In my experience, tutors are more flexible with their time too. If my TA or prof was not helpful I found a tutor to help me out.
From this site https://ece.uwaterloo.ca/Undergrad/Academics/Program/Promotion/FailedRequiredToWithdraw/ ECE will penalize you on your third attempt for the credit, including retaking the exam. I can't find any similar page for other departments.
When this happened to a friend she took a real hard look at her program and decided that she could fulfill her interests by switching into a different program. She went from engineering to science. I'm not suggesting science is easier than engineering, but she was happy that she was able to take a critical look at her time at UW and make the changes she needed to be successful.

ReplyDeleteI failed a course twice, and I had to submit a petition to take it a third time.
ReplyDeleteI'm in science though.
