As a commander, I am prompted to flag you whenever you show up on an unpaid debts report. I have the discretion to not do that, but pending any exonerating circumstances I probably will. That’s a general flag for failure to perform, which does affect transfers, boards, and promotions. Recommend you pay the bill!

I entirely understand the obvious gravity of your question, and, clearly, can't suggest anything to you about that aspect, of course. However, I'm assuming you might possibly need suggestions about the course, which I might be able to give, possibly. That being said, if there was an actual failure, per se, you might possibly ask for retroactive withdrawal, possibly as a reasonable accommodation under the Amer with Disabilities Act(ADA), purely a thought, mind you. If you dont want to try such a route, if you are having trouble with the coursework, you might ask an advisor, chair, or dean, to try to help, by explaining your circumstances, and asking ifntyey might perhaps speak with the registrar. If you were having any sort of problem that might've contributed to the failure, I can't see any harm asking about such leniency, provided it might've been, hopefully, the sole instance like that for you. Next, what was the actual course, and what, specifically, so far as you might care to explain, was the actual problem? Was it ourely academic? What major are you? Was it for an associates? For a bachelors? Have you had any other failures or D's at all? What's your GPa been like? What is your ultimate object, that is, why are you getting the degree, to what soecific end? The more you explain, the more I or others here might conceivably be able to suggest. Please understand, the questions I've asked are obviously not intended to pry, certainly, merely to help. I, for my part, if I were having trouble with a given course, always knew what the deadline was to have a drop form signed, as opposed to actually given in, sometimes those two dates differ, you should always ask that. Further. Some schools have rules about redoing a course where a student had to drop, or had a problem, in a given interval. If the faculty teaching it knew you really diligently tried, you might ask the faculty member to speak with your advisor or chair, or you might ask them, or a dean, to speak with the faculty who taught the course. That might do some good, it might do none, I merely suggest such thoughts as possible alternatives. If your school has a rule that if you paid and need to redo a course, and do it te next time offered you might ask to have the tuition waived as a hardship, in an effort to pass. If allowed, you should very definitely get a tutor, and ask possibly for double time or an untimed rule for your exams, if you find you're having real aggravation, I did that while in grad school several times, I knew of many others who did as well, the same should hold true for undergrad. You cannot he unduly stressed out now, typically, by coursework, it's supposed to ne work, however, assuming youre diloigentnand conscientious, it's obviously and very definitely not intended to be slow torture, that's all in trying to say, OK? I'd be most eager to know more if I could suggest more, I hope that helps, if you'd care to chat furtherz, please of course just let me know, by all means, and, obviously, I realise you might jot care to answer everything I'd asked, I merely needed yo phrase the questions, so you'd know my thoughts, for whatever possible good I might be able to do, certainly, OK?
