is it worth getting a low C or getting a W

i am currently at a cc and i am majoring in kinesiology(still debating) but right now im currently focusing on my ged’s. because of personal issues, i have a low c in sociology. im debating whether i should drop it and consider getting a W or just accept the grade. i know getting a C and a W both have consequences in the long run but i just want different opinions in this situation! thank you for reading!

A C means you won’t have to re-take it. A W means that your probably will have to re-take it, and you risk losing your financial aid. So before you take the W, go have a meeting with the financial aid office about that.

Go meet with the course instructor, and get some help with pulling your grade up before the end of the term.
