I have a bit of a problem. I have recently received my grades from my first semester as a freshman in college, and they do not look so good. Just one class I have failed. It was a trigonometry class. But you see, I don’t need this class for my major, it is just a pre-requisite course for calculus 1. My GPA would be looking pretty good without this F on there. Next semester I plan on retaking a placement test until I am able to get into my required calculus class, so there will be no need in retaking trig. Would it be possible for my advisor/counselor to drop that F once I make it into the calculus class or will I be forced to retake the trig class (even though I don’t need it) to boost my GPA back up? Thanks.

The entire time I read your message I was picturing Andy from Toy Story, who as of the 3 movie was heading off to college. Andy how did you never notice Woody could talk … really?
I have the sneaky idea that you don’t attend U of T. So this would be a question for your college’s registrar.
This is how failing courses goes at U of T.
1) If you are failing a course and it is past the drop-date, you can Late Withdrawel from the course. Meaning that it will not effect your CGPA but will show up on your transcript.
2) While in the course you can choose to make the course a credit/no credit which also does not effect your CGPA
In general, you can’t get rid of that failed course after the fact of completing the course.
If only we could just use white out on our transcipts and hope the ink doesn’t bleed through
Always and forever,
