Can someone help with my problem?
I just checked my Exam grades and it said i got an F for Math 1A03, the problem with that is I dropped this course a long time ago.... 2 weeks before the deadline to be exact.

Why the hell is it showing up as a 0, im seriously freaking out.....

Any advice on what I should do, can it be changed back to a no mark?

Thanks in advance...

Are you sure you dropped the course correctly? I would contact your faculty to have them remove the 0. Good luck!

You should contact the registrar about that... although they are probably closed by now.

I think they closed at 2 today, so yes, go in person on the first day of school to the associate dean's office-in BSB

I think mostly everything is closed until school starts again... you can always try though.

You'll probably need to show proof you canceled the course before the deadline... but considering they extended the deadline so far I don't see why they should argue. If it's changed it'll be changed to "Canceled".

Just to state the obvious: Make sure you do it as soon as possible, as in, the first or second day of 2nd semester...just so they know you're not trying any funny business.

Also, I'd recommend emailing your professor...you'll likely need a note from them, verifying that you stopped submitting assignments/writing tests.
