I transferred into UVA in the fall of 2022. So I’ve had one semester to get a feel of the computer science department and it has been a disaster.

1. My cousin and I were assignment to the same project together and he turned his phone off, refused to meet with me, and played a major role in us getting a zero for the project. This caused my grade to drop to a 61. I emailed my professor but she did not respond.

2. UVA’s computer science department does not have enough staff to accommodate students, which means students have to seek out third party tutors. Sadly, another student and I consulted with the same tutor which caused both of us to get flagged for similarity. I have messages from the tutor confirming that she worked with another student, however, UVA believes that another student and I collaborated on the same assignment. I was then given a zero for this assignment as well.

My only options are retaking the cs class, transferring out of UVA, or finding a different major which will be difficult. I don’t know what to do and I kinda want to just give up. I exceeded in all of my other classes but computer science seems to be the most unprofessional and unforgiving department. I have to make a decision by Friday or else I’ll be dropped from all of my current classes for the Spring semester. What should I do? I have emailed multiple deans and no one will help me.

this seems like a good time in your life to pick up smoking cigarettes

find out who you need to talk to in order to sort this out, whether it be an academic advisor or a dean and go to their office in person

if people aren't responding to your emails you need to force it

OP I had a 0.2 GPA my first year in college, you can come back from this

You should beat your cousins ass

speak with an academic advisor ASAP.
if a professor is not responding and you have documentation, you should get that sorted out immediately and speak with someone in person. if "multiple deans" are ignoring you then there is a serious problem with the school's admin

I would Transfer to a community college instead where you’ll save money and get the same education, and a fresh start until you’re ready for Uni again.

I heard NOVA CC is a pretty good community college but idk how far away that is from you though.

Don’t let a couple bumps in the road keep you from getting to your goal. Unless you just not interested in the career you’re going for

DO NOT switch majors
CS is f***ing insane in how much they pay people
and if u put a little extra work to get a high GPA i promise u will be making $150k+ working from home in the bay area
one regret i made was not taking CS, im going back for a masters in it

retake the class, go back to CC to get the GED classes out the way but stick to CS no matter what

those freshman and sophomore classes are also hard on purpose, after that its smooth sailing for that degree

I did too until my mom was tellin people in the family I couldn’t finish

Gotta lock in

U might needa change your major too

Transfer to the university of phoenix

you letting the devil win

absolutely not

Looks like UVA comp sci program suspect

community college is not the same education as UVA LOL

Seems like you need a semester off to reevaluate where you want to go for uni and for what major

keep thinking that. you can get the same credits at the end of the day

UVA is a top 25 business school, you do not get the same degree

@op have you thought about transferring to the business school? if you like cs maybe try econ & math

have one of your parents email your advisors and/or dean
