1 Idiotic Mistake. 1 Major Consequence

<p>Forgot to submit my withdrawal form for Berkeley's Online Extension program. I was only halfway through the course so I received an F. Any suggestions on what to do?</p>

<p>So I think there are some provisions if you get a grade lower than a D and retake the course that either completely remove/replace the grade or keep both with only the better grade being kept. </p>

<p>[General</a> Catalog - Policies - Repetition of Courses](<a href=“http://catalog.berkeley.edu/policies/repetition.html]General”>http://catalog.berkeley.edu/policies/repetition.html)</p>

<p>“If you repeat courses in which you received a grade of D+, D, D-, or F, the units are counted only once and only the most recently earned grades and grade points are used for the first 12 units repeated.”</p>

<p>So it seems like the older grade is completely erased, but if you find out otherwise, let us know. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>If I recall correctly, the failing or D grade is still kept on the transcript, but it does not affect GPA if you retake the course and you’ve retaken fewer than 12 units.</p>
