special characters dude has a point. keeping a field of vision open on all the checkpoints and hoops etc. an undergrad needs to jump through is an unfortunate reality of higher education. best thing to do is learn from what you missed and keep it in mind for the future.

sometimes it seems like academic institutions are purposefully designed to add as many beaurocratic hurdles as they possibly can. ways to combat this: maintain communication with advisors, profs, deans etc.

it may seem trivial compared to deep independent research, but if you can learn to scope it now, it just pays off in the future.

i say this now as an undergrad myself with still more time to put in, but i've seen students over and over again have to stay for extra semesters due to misunderstandings, bad advising, or simply tech. errors within the system.

did you miss a gen ed req or something?
