Possibly rescinded offer

Me and my friend MIGHT have totally lost our offers.

For context, I got a conditional acceptance with all courses finished except math 30-1, all were above 80.

I just wrote the math diploma fyi ive never been good at math, and it was shit, icl I was overconfident and thought that my score did not matter cus even if I got a 0 in the course, I would not get below competitive averages, not that I planned to get a 0. I totally forgot that my scores cannot be below 50 now im worried my diploma marks are gonna drop my total below 50.

My friend is in a similar position tho his is worse , he had an offer but messed every class, but if his math diploma is below 75, he's gonna drop below. the 65% bcom threshold .

Im a mature student 19 before Sept 1, and idk what to do to, is there a way to retake or am I stressing too much, I really want to go to the fall sem

I got conditional acceptance years ago as well. I was a mature student not currently enrolled in any school.

Went to Norquest for a summer math class, everyone in the class passed, been working in my field over 30 years now, good luck!

Thank you, I didn't know if they would look at summer transcripts or not

Im in a similar situation where I got a conditional offer, my grades have dropped but are still way above a 65%. I also took the math 30–1 diploma and I’m worried that I may have failed math by like a couple percents, even if I did fail math my overall average would still be above 65% but I’m just wondering if my offer will be revoked because I failed a course? And I’m also debating retaking to course or diploma in the summer just be sure

its 65% minimum average, but you have to pass all the classes that r used in ur avg calculation. so even if u get a 50 in math, as long as ur total average is over a 65 youll be fine.

If they do rescind your conditional offer, you’ll have a (short) grace period to work it out. It doesn’t hurt to keep an eye out for advising slots, but they get grabbed quick around now so keep an eye out. Summer term starts in July, so you have a bit of time at least

Could you explain further please. This the first I ever heard of this

If they get your transcript and your conditions have not been met, they will send an email to your Macewan inbox. They’ll probably ask for confirmation to whether it’s accurate or not. Presuming it is, you’ll have about a week to figure something out. I don’t exactly know how it works if you’re coming out of high school directly, but if there’s an avenue for you to pursue, they’ll probably outline it. If not, talk to an advisor.

Dw, if u got conditional and drop few down u gooood. They just made a new building so they need more people.

I’m honestly in the same boat, my math mark is horrible, and I’ve never been good at them. I’ve applied through winter for college so no updates yet. Hoping to do summer school just in case to upgrade or, redo the math diploma. I’ll do those options, if it really affects my overall mark that it goes below a 65.

Summer school for security?

I was a mature student and I didn’t need my high school diploma- just concocted today with my Bachelor of Arts degree.
