| [SFU] Retaking a course twice
So, I fucked myself over by retaking a course and fucking up the second time around too - now I'm fucked cause I can't retake it again. What are my options? Who the fuck do I talk to and will they allow me to take the fucking course again?  |

Academic Advisor.
It is a little late to say you wanted to audit the course but try and talk to them and see if they'll let you retake. I don't know what your chances are as I've never encountered this particular issue. Make an appointment and see what your options are.

I thought it was 3 times too... but I heard that you need special permission to take it the 3rd time from the dean of the faculty or something?

i thought the 2nd time you take it that was it. Unless SFU recently changed its policy.
But yes, an advisor is who you need to talk to.

I just asked a friend who knows someone that did it. She only got to retake because she cried her eyes out infront of dean. I hope you're woman enough to do the same.

OT here, but it's not that hard to fail twice. lol. I took CRIM 321-Quant Research, and my classmate almost failed it a second time. Same prof, same exam, same assignment different data.
To put it bluntly, no one can afford to fail a course at SFU.

OT: I took CRIM 321 and can see why your friend probably failed the first time. I took it by distance (WORST MISTAKE EVER), failed the final (it was my fault though because I never bothered to keep up with the material; granted, it was difficult and I would have understood it better if it was taught in person), but I got an A on the essay which was worth 40% and ended up with a C+ final.
But yeah... hard to explain nearly failing it the second time if you had the same prof and exact same material.

You'll need good convincing skills to convince the dean...

Just stick with the F. Go take another course.
