But in the long run if it doesn’t interest you and lowers your GPA just drop it! I had a long discussion about this with many people when I wanted to drop French!

A bad grade can devastate a student who plans to apply to colleges, scholarships or graduate schools, in terms of both self-esteem and future prospects. Here are some suggestions for dealing with low or failing grades.

Steps

1

Step One

If you feel you’ve received a grade in error, ask the teacher to review it. Or if you misunderstood an assignment, ask if you can redo it. Visit during regular office hours and remain calm while you discuss the matter.

2

Step Two

If you deserved the poor grade, ask the teacher if you can do an extra-credit assignment to make up for your performance. Ask to retake the test if you have a legitimate excuse, such as an illness or a death in the family.

3

Step Three

If you are doing poorly in a class, check with the registrar’s office to see if you can take the class on a pass or no-pass basis, or drop it entirely, to avoid marring your transcript with a bad grade.

4

Step Four

Visit the registrar’s office if the grade is already on your transcript. Ask if the school has a policy on retaking classes; some schools allow this. The bad grade will remain on your transcript, but your grade point average (GPA) will not include it.

5

Step Five

Petition the registrar’s office if you feel you received a low grade in error or unfairly. Follow the registrar’s guidelines when you file the petition.

6

Step Six

Ask a counselor in the registrar’s office if you can do anything else. Some schools will drop the lowest grade on your transcript, although this is highly unusual.

If you fail in one semester you should not drop others because when you attend other semester you got more experience about those semesters which is helpful for you.Fail semester you can pass any other time.We should learn from our defeats and be courageously and hopeful for next time you will be successful only you.This will give you courage.Fail ours and defeats make a man strong nor weak.we should make our failours and defeats our power then you can achieve your goal.
