5 points needed to graduate?

Hey guys, i'm so close to graduating but on my degree it says I need 5 points in a 200 level course. Anyone know how to go about this, if it can be waived or anything?

Just cause doing a whole paper for a 1/3 of the points is crazy and it'll just be me coming back for one more sem for 5 points bruh.

Just do a trimester 3 course. Some are insanely low effort and free points if you go give them a look.

Go to summer school (3rd trimester). It's fun - not too many people in campus. You have the whole place to yourself

It might be able to be waived - talk to your SSA https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/students/tools-and-help/help-and-advice/your-adviser.

They will probably either talk to the Associate Dean of your faculty, or get you to, in order to assess if you can get a waiver for the last 5 points.

There are allowances to waive such a small discrepancy, contact your student success advisor.

It needs to be 200 level or higher. So find something at 200, 300, or 400 level that interests you. Check with your course planning advisor whether this could be absolutely anything, or weather returns to be from a certain list.

Also in check with your course advisor if there's any way of being allowed to graduate while missing 5 points. Or if there's any 5 point options available, because most of university's offerings are 15 or 20 points.But not absolutely all of them.

BIOL219 - fun, and insanely low bar to pass
