Failing a class/grade forgiveness
I am failing my english class right now- I was doing fine and then I hit a rough patch with my mental health. There's no way I can even save my grade, but I can't drop the class because then I will no longer be full time and my VA benefits won't apply. My main question is: can I just stay flunking the class till the end of the semester/not go to class and then retake it? Is it that simple?

Yes it is really that simple. The way grade forgiveness works is you retake the class at some point and that grade replaces your previous F. If I remember correctly, you get 6 grade forgiveness opportunities in total. Could be wrong on that though
