When a C wont cut it.

This site is dedicated to the proposition that in almost every case a student can proceed through their schooling, never get a grade higher than a C and achieve a degree.

This is almost but not always true. There are a number of exceptions. One example will do. At a State University in Southern California no student can be admitted to the Film Department, to major in Film, until (among other requirements) they achieve a grade of B in the lower division Introduction to Film course offered by the department. For other students, not potential Film Majors, this course fulfills a lower division General Education Fine Art requirement and they can finish the course with any grade they wish, (Hopefully a passing one.) But students seeking admission to the Film Department as a film major must earn at least a B.

If you are not aware of the specific requirements for, for example, your potential major right now is a good time to start looking. Really looking hard at your schedule next term and all of the requirements looming for courses you need for graduation.
