Lol at this point are you doing it just to piss people off?

And I have no idea--you should explore the Athabasca website or contact them to find out.
Keep in mind though, transfer credits won't count for marks at McMaster, just the credit (ie, pass/fail).

No...I meant misspelling "courses" as "coarses" (That's why I bolded it)

Oh man I know you are probably sincere but that could be mistaken for some masterful trolling -- completely missing the bolded "coarses"

Hey there!

First of all, just take a deep breath and stop freaking out for a moment.
Believe it or not, tons of other people have been in the same situation as you and if they made it, then so can you.

I would recommend seeing Sally Willams ASAP. If you can make an appointment in person that would be to your benefit. If you were to describe the circumstances then maybe she might be able to offer some advice you haven't heard yet.

I might be mistaken but I think first year summer school averages for Engineering will count in calculating your average. Also, if a few of your professors know you, you can speak to them about maybe a grade boost. Don't count on it though.

It's not the end of the world. Just a minor setback that reminds you that you have to work hard to achieve your goal. Engineering is a difficult program, remember that.

Best of luck to you and don't give up hope just yet okay.

Step 1: calm down
Step 2: see sally williams

The rest u can see what u can do. there are options. at mac, eng courses u can repeat if u fail but the marks will be averaged. if ur still not high enough, apply for reinstatement. U wait a year (possibly) then start over with a clean record, a second chance. However, mess up one more and ur gone

is it possible for me to switch to btech with my current GPA ?

If it's below a 3, then no, you can't directly switch to any program. You'd have to apply for reinstatement, and you could apply to btech then. If it's above a 3, then talk to Sally Williams.

To the OP:

I can understand your situation with finance and stuff. I am in a similar situation. If life has taught me anything in university is that to never let anything affect your studies no matter how much it pains you to see you family struggle b/c of finance. Your job is to focus on your studies and pass for them. I know it's a lot of pressure. Also its not the end of the world for you yet. Apply for reinstatement, hand it to Gilmour hall. Ask Sally for options like taking courses like the math course that you failed this summer. Also, if you dont mind me asking which math did you fail. ZB3 or ZC3? Anyway good luck with your future.

failed zb3 by like 1 percent asked childs if he could possibly raise it but he said he couldn't. Sally said i can't take summer school if my GPA is lower then a 3.0.
I have proof of my mother having no income but will it be enough to be reinstated without waiting a year ?
