C and above are passing grades; C- and anything below C- are failing grades. If you fail a core (i.e. required) course, you have to repeat it. You don't have to repeat a failed elective, but of course it will affect your GPA. And FYI, CS422 is an elective. 2. Graduate students who take prerequisite courses must get B or above in the prerequisite courses. I'm not sure about this requirement - it's not in the CS Graduate Student Handbook, but it could be a University requirement. You can double check this with Dr. Pamula. 3. Graduate students also need to keep their GPA above 3.0 (i.e. B). If your GPA dips below 3.0 and you can't bring it back up in 2 quarters, you'll be disqualified from the program. 4. The department chair has considerable power to waive some requirements. If you are in a difficult situation, talk to Dr. Pamula.

I usually wait until the last assignment is past due before creating the next one. When there are multiple assignments open, sometimes some students upload to the wrong assignment.

It's my fault. I should express it more specific. So in the hw3 5.6 c), passing 'Calculus 1' means getting a C or above in 'Calculus 1' right? Got it.
