Tips to pass University Classes with A+
Tip 1 Classes do not start the first day you enroll depending on when you enroll. If there is a term in progress your be put in a query to start the next term after the previous term is over. Chec...

@Sid1701d9 Tip 3. I routinely get my term papers done,edited and submitted and the presentations done and presented before I ever get the start of term notices. I have not seen any negative effects from doing it that way.
@RandomBuzziness Study as much as you can as well as get the term papers and presentations done! That seems to be a key factor in your grade. Also use the option to call your professors for a status report as often as you can. That will give you a clue to which classes you need to work on.
@PugLove888 I missed that on the library. Thanks. I have put that trait on the residential lots in Brichester that I use though as well as the two on campus houses (which I converted to residential so I could have a cauldron). Love those spellcasters and the Plentiful Needs potions! 😃
I'm completely confused how the grading system works. Or, maybe there is a bug in the game that causes failing grades?
I have a Sim who completes about 75% of his homework, goes to every class, submits excellent quality term paper, good quality presentations, attends class every time on normal setting, gets the pop-up that he squeezed out every bit of learning from the class, takes the final exam, and he FAILS the classes with an F!?!? Ok now I don't expect him to earn an A. But I also don't expect a failing grade, either.
I've read all kinds of hypothesized reasons for failing grades on the forums. They don't make sense to me and I think there is another cause. Going to the library to study, or setting the attendance to active listening or take notes, shouldn't be the reason a Sim FAILS a class. Not being a level 10 in a related skill shouldn't be a reason to FAIL a class. If a term paper or presentation is submitted before the final day of term, that shouldn't be a reason to FAIL a class. For every post that claims these are reasons, there is another post who says they don't matter.
This is why I'm convinced there is a bug. If not a bug, I am thinking possibly that there might be a minimum skill level required for a class, and that minimum skill level rises for every subsequent class. That might explain why my Sim started with As, and then the last term of 4 classes he got C, D, F, and F.
Or else, the SimGurus could explain how the grading system actually works, if there is some other unknown criteria for passing a class. I'm tired of reading posts where everyone is just guessing at all the reasons for Failing grades.
Never go to class on "normal" !! Always take notes
Always complete 100% of homework after every class finishes immediately that day/night
Complete term papers or presentations the day/s before classes even start and then submit them asap when class does start
For reference, I've never had a sim achieve a grade below an A, I've never bought books to study, and I've never had to go anywhere to study (library)
Take only 2 classes at a time
