<p>Find out what your school’s policy is. My daughter got an F freshman year at a top 20 school. Her school didn’t let her retake the class and replace the grade, nor did they allow her to take the class again and average the new grade with the F. The prof told her she could send in some of the assignments she’d missed over the Xmas break; she did that; the prof then said “oh it’s too late”.</p>
<p>So the way I understand it, at her school, F stands for f***ed.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
