By no mark do you mean a incomplete? Incompletes in my school have to be made up or you don't graduate/pass current grade.

You are probably better off just failing the class.

dropping a class at my school is a major no-no after the add/drop deadline. It goes on your transcript as WP/WF (withdraw pass, withdrawl fail). I was making a D in a class and watned to drop, but couldn't because of this...i'm probably going to get a high C this quarter (quarter grades dont go on transcript) and hopefully a low B for the semester (hopefully!). Then at the semester, after my college apps and semester grades are in, i will withdraw :)
