I basically ignored it and graduated fine. Uni's more than a little buggy.
right and I made sure all work and term papers were done right away. He sill got an F in all classes but one where he got a C. Before the update i did the same thing and he got A's in every class. Its so annoying.

That's strange. Did you edit the term papers from Poor quality to Outstanding? And did he study?
Was he late for class a lot?
I already do that. Also they study betweeen classes.
I hope these posts are merely bugs and not design. When I play uni in ts2 & ts3 I always shoot for A+ grades for my sims, just like my own experience in real life. I won't be playing this expansion if this is a design.
I saw this problem on LGR and I had hoped it was just a one time thing, but now seeing this thread, I guess it's not. Life is not a hit or miss if you pay attention, do your work and be there when your in school. I don't want my Sims failing when they do everything they are supposed to do. What kind of lesson is that to teach a kid who plays this game? Sorry, so disappointed in this issue in this ep.
For the most part, I haven’t experienced this problem myself. My Sim did get a C in her last class, but I think that may be because her term paper wasn’t factored into her final grade, as that was a glitch I wasn’t aware of that was fixed in the latest patch.
I never had an issue and had it since it came out. Now after the new patch is when it started happening.
Yes I notice that also. However I have been playong this one family since I made it.
I don't think so. My last playthrough Uni was a few days ago. Until yesterday, it never even occurred to me to check that, "write notes" and such. I've never even selected anything. It's always been on whatever the default is. I still haven't seen it. ('cause I'm sick of all the Uni bugs) I still got all A's at graduation.

Well if he gets F, then yes, he failed and flunked.
There are several threads on the forum about this, most people get A or A+ even without trying, but some insist they always get Fs or never higher than C.
There can be several reasons:
1. Always be on time, always do your homework, always do your term papers and presentations to at least "Good" quality for an A or A-
2. Don't fret if you just get a B or B+ first semester, grades go up as your skills go up.
3. Speaking of, and I think this is the big one: Grades are at least partly calculated from your skill level. Basically that means that if you apply to UNI in a course you don't have talent for you have a much harder time. If you pick a degree you already have skills in you are virtually guaranteed an A at the end. I cannot stress this enough. Some people deliberately pick degrees their Sims have no skills in, and that is a big mistake.
4. NEVER do more than three courses and one society per semester unless you want a horrible time. Also, unlike other activities the Sport Team one counts as an actual part time job and therefore takes as much time as a course. So if you want to be a soccer star, don't do more than TWO courses, the sport team and maybe a society.

Which is why picking a distinguished degree is such a good idea, if you have enough skills to pass for one of those, you probably have a skill of 4 or so in the required skill already and will probably ace already first year.
So it all boils down to... if you have played the Sim since a teen, make up your mind and before reaching YA and they will easily be ahead of the game just by having a skill of 3 or higher just by you making them prepared. You want an artist? make your teen paint a little.
If it's your starter Sim, don't apply to UNI until you have grinded a skill or two up to 4 or more.
Justin took two courses in Photography, one course in Violin, and one course in Acting. He finished with Photography skill at level 5 (max), Violin skill at 4.32, and Acting skill at 5.84. The key to his success was probably joining the Art Society, getting to level 2 in the organization, and attending all of its events for extra credit towards his Fine Art major. Of course, Justin also did all of his homework before classes, attended classes on time, and Took Notes. He used his phone to email his professors once a day, after finishing his classes for the day. He prepared an Outstanding term paper and an Excellent presentation but didn't turn them in until his professors reported that he was a stellar student. That's been my approach every time I've sent a Sim to university and so far it has always worked.
Your third point is the most important of them, I think, especially since the deeper into a degree you are, the higher it seems to expect your skill to be.
One of my recent students did soccer plus three courses, graduated with honors and was top of the track. He had decent fitness from the start though (which is why he was on the team!). I do think trying to do a society on top of that would've been too much, but I find the societies pretty meh anyway.
The main reason to do Societies is to help with grades. Debate Team is great for helping with the actual Academic aspiration since grinding the Debate skill is HORRIBLY BORING otherwise. The Brainiacs is the best for over all grade improvement since after becoming a senior member you get a HUGE + on all your grades just by showing up at the library when they are there.
