Question:

I expect to earn a C (or C-/C+) in a class. How do I decide if I should 1) take the C grade; 2) choose the S/U option, or 3) Withdraw from a class?

Answer:

This may be a difficult decision to make depending on your circumstances, so we recommend that you discuss this with your faculty advisor, graduate program director, college graduate advising office and/or the College of Graduate Studies. Failure to discuss your options with a knowledgeable advisor could result in making a choice that will negatively impact your academic progress in your program.
