Don't know for sure but it could be a period of time where students take remediation exams if they failed any courses during the first year. If they pass the remediation exam they will end up with a "C" for the class.

Some schools have that option. It's called re-takes, re-exams, etc. If you fail a course, they let you take another comp exam and get an F/C or sometimes even a C. Either way, it's sufficient to move on if you pass the exam.

Barry doesn't have that. If you get an F or a couple Ds in a year, you repeat the year to re-take those courses in their entirity (or get dismissed... depending on faculty group decision).

Same at Western. I'm just chillaxin' for the next 1.5 months 😀.

Those who only failed one class have to remediate that class during the summer. If you fail more, like Barry, it is up to the committee whether you have to come back for the full year, take the classes again, or kick you out entirely.

Unfortunately, we had 2 who had to come back next year and be part of the class of 2014, and 1 who was kicked out completely.
