What should I do, /adv/? I wish I was rich enough, but the walls are all crashing down and this could really mess me up in the long-run. In a way I don't mind being kicked out...that cuts off some of my plans, but that's something I can recover and grow from. But owing that much money...? I don't know what to do. I don't think it's possible for me to beg for that kind of money...and fuck knows that it'd take me years to pay that kind of thing off. Years.
I'm so worried and scared. I don't know what to do...

Just fucking go to his office and lay down the situation. After all these are also people.

Finals week is over and final grades are issued tomorrow night. I don't think he'd be in his office, and even if he was I'm already back home. Just got the news of this fuck-up when I got here.

ask for an INCOMPLETE grade
>>18436772
An incomplete grade is still a failing grade.

This quarter I have to get above a 2.0 in 12 units (3 classes). If I don't, I might be dead meat.
>>18436789
If you're having trouble with that, then maybe college isn't for you. You need to reevaluate this.
>>18436795
It was just a rough quarter because of personal reasons. If I'm unable to do this, then I join the military. I don't know what else I could do.
>>18436713
>>18436789
>2.0
Well you got to this point and you are on 4chan while your peers have no problem doing the essays on time and not failing classes I can assume the professor might be more trustworthy than your story
>thought I sent in that essay
>actually didn't
lol
Other anon is right, college education isn't for you, learn a trade.

>An incomplete grade is still a failing grade
Who the hell told you this?
I'm a professor and I can assure you this is not the case. An incomplete just gives you an extension to complete your work before the professor submits a final letter grade.

>on time
...Honestly I actually did. I checked the emails again, and the problematic essay was actually sent in on time and I had totally forgot about it. He just hasn't responded whatsoever.
Are post finals office hours a thing? Because I might just haul my sorry ass alllll the way back to school to talk to him. I really don't want to, but at this point it's a consideration.
