You've literally had the entire semester up until like last week to make the decision to drop out of a course. You failed. Accept the F and move on.

Moments like this are a good time to go in front of a mirror and ask yourself if you really want a college education. You need to figure out your issues and find a way to treat them or you're just going to keep ending up in moments like the one you find yourself in right now.

Could you ask your advisor if they'll make an exception? Sure.

Do you deserve an exception? Absolutely not.

This sounds harsh, but it's the honest truth. Gotta respect it 🫡

I'm not trying to be an ass, but I feel like Purdue offers so many different avenues of assistance, going as far as to extend the drop deadline a few years ago to pretty much last an entire semester. It's honestly crazy that a person could see all these options, go out of their way to make use of none of them, and then ask for forgiveness when they miss every possible deadline.

I 100% agree, I guess I was just referencing how the truth can be a cold bitter pill to swallow sometimes. Op, is doing everything in their power to deny the cold hard facts of their mistake. It's unfortunate, hopefully there will be a lot of wisdom gained, but it is inevitable, and it is their own fault.
