  16. Grades...Multiple pre req fails. Need advice...PLEASE!

    kizeemimi replied to lisab25's topic in General Students

    I don't know if the fact that you failed them will matter since you eventully did pass. I would think they only look at the final grade. If I were in the same situation, I would be more concerned that...
