mega fail
i just finished my physics 1B03 exam and let's just say im not feeling like number one right now. Same goes for my chem i had last week, i'm in a science program and my courses for this term are; physics, molecular biology, environmental science, astronomy and chemistry.

If i were to fail chem and physics, would i die? i read about the academic probation thing, but i'm not really sure how that works, do i have until the end of this year to bring it up, or is it next year?

Hey, I know the feeling as I went through it last year. All I can say is it'll get better. But in terms of failing...well lets just hope you won't have to deal with that. You're not necessarily going to die if you fail a course, but in the short term, you might have to work harder next term in order to have the mark to get into the program you want (if they're still doing that this year)

If it's a req then you'd have to take it during the summer. (I.e. If you fail your Chem 1A03, they won't let you take the second term chem since you need 1A03 as a pre-req.) You will be placed on academic probation if your CA (weighted average of all your courses) is at least 3.0 but below 3.5

Hope everything works out.
