What happens if I fail a course while studying abroad?

Failing a course while studying abroad can have several consequences, depending on your institution’s policies. Academically, you may need to retake the course, which could extend your study duration and incur additional costs. Some programs may place you on academic probation or affect your eligibility for scholarships.

Visa implications are another concern. Certain countries require students to maintain a minimum course load or GPA. Failing a course might jeopardize your visa status, though policies vary by country. Consult your international student office for guidance.

Lastly, failing could impact your confidence, but many students recover by seeking tutoring or academic support.
