Yasher - I have an aversion to an F being completely wiped from your transcript. The method as you described it (F is visible to anyone reviewing the transcript, but is not calced into GPA) seems OK. I am sort of from the tough-love school of academics, and believe that one should be accountable for stuff.

But then again, I remember how much of a jackass I was in undergrad... so getting some breaks is OK. In the system my undergrad used, you could drop a class with >=2 weeks to go. It would be marked as a "W" (for Withdrawn), but would not be an F and not count towards GPA. The W was seen by anyone reviewing the transcript (and I believe viewed as an F by any discerning grad school/employer). I never had a problem with this really, and your system is basically the same thing, provided you are not so retarded that you forget to withdraw from a class you will most likely fail.
