[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Prestigious” college just don’t give out F’s. Gotta try real hard not to pass.[/quote]

Agree with this poster.  Hard to get even a B at “prestigious” institutions, since that would be an admission that an acceptance error was committed.

Can happen at any quality institution for a variety of reasons.  Did DC have unexcused absences that triggers the F?  Did they fail to turn in an assignment on time or at all?

Retake course and demonstrate commitment to pass. Yes an F will drop the GPA but can be overcome.

This sadly is the issue with limited or unlimited retakes of exams, lowest grade of 50%, etc., common in most high schools today.  Kids coast through HS and think they can do the same in college, but at quality universities get a wake up call about what life is like in the real world.

Take class agin if offered in summer.  Buckle down and get a B or better, may impact getting into top vet schools but will not be shut out by one mistake, if they learn from it.
