@OP, you are on the right part by acknowledging your dire situation and your readiness to change it on matter how hopeless it seems. I was once in your situation back then in unilag. I was offered a course i was not too keen about. I realized how bad my cgpa was after my 3rd year. 2.1 thereabout. I decided to buckle up and made sure I became friends with the first class and 2-1 guys in my class. I was always following them around, sitting in class with them, going to study at night with them, even helping them to book space in the libraries. Never missed tutorials. At the end of the last 2semesters, I made an average cgpa of almost 4.5. This was not enough to push me into 2-2. So I had to take an extra semester even though I had no carryovers. Thankfully my course adviser and other lecturers made it possible because they were impressed with my drastic academic improvement. They even helped encourage my parents to support me when they went to school with me after they found out I was having an extra semester. I have since then bagged a masters in the same field, gotten a job in the same field and I am holding a vital position at my workplace. All hope is not lost yet. Get serious with your studies, forget fellowships , parties and social gatherings. If you have to take an extra year after your 4 regular years, then do it. You can still make a 2-2. It might even be easier than taking jamb again and hustling for a fresh admission. Cheers. 1 Like |

lobiologs:Well, I'd say I became unserious after seeing my first semester result in 100L(2.38) I think, can't really recall). The little interest just vanished. |

bigmo1: This kind of thing happened to me. I used to buy them food for them to show me the way. The best in our class then was my paddy. But I hated my class members and on the day of our last paper I deleted their numbers, reasons they didn't show me the way. Here in unn they set either past questions and no body would help during exam time to explain most of thing u need to know. .... When I Understood the way I began to make A's. Just understand how questions r been set in ur school and go tru alot of past questions and it will help u bro. 1 Like |

Dexema:Crossing from the department has always been ringing in my head even when in exams hall, exactly, like my elder sis, she doesn't want to accept the fact that I've lost interest, she keeps thinking it's all gonna be OK. I feel I need fresh air, and some family and friends just don't want to understand that I lost interest. thanks, I appreciate. |

I'm wondering if the situation will be different ifbyou start afresh with the course of your choice. Are you sure your grades will be better? Or you'll even get more depressed that your mates have graduated and you're just starting all over. School is really not for everyone o. Some people find it hard coping in higher institution. And not everyone who goes to a higher institution succeeds in life. Anyway, my advice is that you continue with your school , and write jamb at the same time. You don't have to drop out to write jamb. If you pass the jamb and get your choice course of study, then you can leave your present school and start afresh, else just graduate with your pass and go and learn an apprenticeship you like |

I hv experienced such before. Just start from the begining you don't like the course that's just the main factor pulling you back. |

Stark22: I will advice you to Think about life from your angle, write down the options you have and work from there, Most times its not the certificate but the person, Two you need to have friends and go out, I was introverted in my year one, it affected me , pls just make frnds with people Good or bad, don't judge, your progress in life depends on the kinda frnds you make in school.. Life and all diaspora Pray to God for directions and if you have parents talk to your Dad . Wish you luck |

Don't give up or quit like you are being advised to by some folks; getting a first class degree does not guarantee a successful life, likewise getting a 3rd class does not mean you would end up a failure.Moreover, there is no guarantee that starting all over would get you a better result.What you need right now is motivation, focus and most importantly God.You would also need to a mindset reset because I think expectations from your family is weighing you down. |

I will advise you to start again or better still if your school do allow change of department say like changing from 300l to 200l in another department you should change |
Re: I'm In 300 Level With Poor Grades: Advice Needed by ExplicitContent: 5:44pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
Start all over my man. Also use the opportunity of the break to learn a skill and get into business. By the time you in 100l you'd be evenly stable financially |
Re: I'm In 300 Level With Poor Grades: Advice Needed by gabe: 5:54pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
Its not fate. U didnt study well, u didnt pass well. Anyway, water under the bridge. Rewrite jamb. Choose a course u really like. Then study like mad. It might feel like u r wasting ur time, but later in life, a 1st class/2:1 u spent 20yrs getting is infinitely more valuable than a pass degree u got in 4yrs. Nobody will ask u when u graduated. Its d color of ur grade that will matter. |

Stark22:Buy a jamb form and start afresh but this time, go for a course you're comfortable with. Stay strong and before you know it will all be over trust me. My story is similar to yours. My folks pushed to do science(wanted me to be a medical doctor) in my secondary school and i went along with it even though I didn't know shit about science. Unsurprisingly,I failed in my ss1. Instead of repeating, i moved along with them. Kasala burst in ss3 when we were registering for Ssce. My mum came to pay my waec fee and they found out that my name was still in ss1. I am still being haunted by the tears my mum shed that day. That was when I took the decision to start ss1 afresh but this time doing what I love(Art).The road was tough because I had to endure insults(nothing is more insulting that getting flogged by you juniors) but I made it. I finished my service this year. My reason for writing this epistle is to encourage you to take the right step this time. Cheers and goodluck!! 1 Like 1 Share |

Why not seek counsel of your level coordinator or head of department, hoping that they are what I expect them to be. |
