Hopefully you are at a school where you can replace the grade after you retake it. Schools like that are awesome. The 2nd time through is a lot easier...

I'm looking at a couple universities here in Texas, and they're gonna allow me to replace my grade from another university, after I retake a similar course and pass it. So, its not DeVry and ITT. American University does it too!

But seriously, I believe this to be a not-so-uncommon practice. This is how I'm getting back into college. Hooray for being a 22 year old college freshman all over again. That'll be a trip report for the ages.

Repeat Delete is actually quite common at decent universities samjjones. Schools will either have an extended drop section, or they will have repeat delete.

I failed a 5 credit calculus class as an Undergraduate and now have an Master's degree. Take it over.

I failed out of college the first time around, so dont sweat it. It a very short time your college life will be far far behind you. I dont know the field you are thinking of going in to but in my world no one cares about individual grades. If you gots the sheepskin you are in.

Acme - yeah good point. Only for on-campus recruiting and grad schools do individual undergrad grades have alot of weight. (Even for on-campus recruiting for undergrad, it's more your overall GPA). And as you advance in your career, undergrad GPA (and by extension individual class grades) mean very little if anything at all.

I'm in the middle of withdrawing from all my classes for the 3rd straight semester. Life could be worse.

if you're in grad school you are 99% screwed.

Have you ever failed a class?
