Is it okay to pass with a D in my major?
For the past three years, I’ve managed to maintain A’s and B’s, but I recently forgot to submit a test, and my professor won’t accept a late submission. As a result, my grade is about to drop to an F. I’m confident I can raise it to at least a D, possibly even a C. I just need some reassurance that I’m still in a good spot. I’m not too worried about my GPA since all that matters is graduating. My GPA would dip from 3.78 to around 3.66.

It’s understandable to feel stressed about your grade, especially after consistently performing well. Generally, universities typically require you to pass your courses (earning at least a D) to count toward your major requirements. However, it’s critical to check your specific school’s policies in case they have different standards.
Since you have been doing well in your other classes, just keep pushing to bring your grade up as much as you can. Again, focus on understanding the concepts and completing any remaining assignments. It sounds like you’re in a good position overall, and even if you end up with a D, it shouldn’t significantly impact your overall goals. Remember, you’re not alone in this—many students face similar situations. Just stay motivated and do your best! Good luck!
