HELP! "F" on transcript instead of "W" (due to accident!)

<p>I'm a junior in high school now, but when I was a freshman in 2009, I took a CC (At Pasadena City College) for spanish for just a few weeks before I dropped out. I called the admissions office and they dropped the class for me, or so I thought. Now (2 years later), I go back to my CC, believing I have no previous record, and I took classes and got an A in philosophy. However, when I looked at my transcript, there was AN F FROM SPANISH 2 YEARS AGO! but I dropped the course! WHAT DO I DO? I am an honor student, I have a 4.2/3.98 GPA, and I simply CANNOT have an F on my college transcript!!!! Can I sue?? Do you think if I ask kindly and explain my situation, they'll take away my "F"?????? THANKS SO MUCH FOR OYUR RESPONSE!</p>

<p>Yes, sue them.</p>

<p>Do you have copies of the paperwork you submitted to drop the class?</p>

<p>If you have paperwork to prove you called, that’s great, but I’m assuming you don’t. In that case, you should go see a guidance counselor, in person not a phone call, and see if they have any advice. It could be a clerical error in the registrar’s office, for which they have some documentation, but be prepared for bad news. It’s the kind of mistake that a naive high school student would make. No you can’t sue. The mistake was yours, unfortunately, not to have gotten the course drop documented.</p>

<p>By the way, what are the consequences of having the ‘F?’ Is your financial aid jeopardized? Or your transfer to a state U? If that’s the issue, there may be other ways around the problem besides getting the F removed. For example, the guidance counselor could advocate on your behalf with either financial aid or the State U admissions office if they understand the situation and want to be helpful.</p>

<p>I think the implications are more along the lines of college admissions seeing as how the OP is a junior in high school.</p>
