Intentionally failing a Class

[Newbie1234]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew about UofS' policy on a failed course? I'm in my 2nd year now and taking 5 courses this term. If I intentionally fail a course this term and take 6 courses next term to give me 30 credits either ways, will the university count the failed course in the GPA calculations? Thanks

Hmmm...

 

Whatever the case with the FAIL, there should still be plenty of time to withdraw from the course. You will end up with a W rather than an F on your transcript, and a W is NOT part of your GPA. It will be seen, but IMO looks alot better than a failed course.

I agree that withdrawing is a much better option than intentionally failing a course. I am not sure about what the policy is in Usask, but for some other universities ie UBC (if you're planning to apply elsewhere), will average the marks for that course if you failed it and take it again, so it will lower your mark for that course significantly
