<p>So, I'm failing math...should I withdrawl (w) or get an F and repeat in summer school? I am planning on transfering to a small uni. How should I word the email to the uni. without sounding like I dropped it "just because"?</p>
<p>Withdraw. A W won't impact your gpa, but an F will. You can generally replace the F in your gpa with a class retaken under repeat option, but if you don't repeat the class at the same institution you will be stuck with the F.</p>
<p>Withdraw. Do you actually have to explain anything?</p>
<p>Would your school allow a W this late in the term? Would it be a W or a WF (withdrawl-failing)? Have you been admitted to HSC yet?</p>
<p>People, people...</p>
<p>The word is withdrawal. With drawl is the way they speak in Texas. ;)</p>
<p>I believe withdraw is correct when referring to the action. From the Mesa Community College catalog (<a href="http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/services/student_services/dean/academic/index.html):%5B/url%5D">http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/services/student_services/dean/academic/index.html):</a>
Withdrawals:
Students who cannot complete the semester must officially withdraw from the college. Obtain forms in the Records/Registration Office and follow the procedure in the catalog. Failure to officially withdraw can cause the loss of all fees and result in failing grades for all courses registered.</p>
<p>Marian,
After I re-read this, I realized your comments were refering to post #5. I feel like Gilda Radner when she would play Emily Litella on SNL News - Never Mind!</p>
