    Accident Class
Click For Summary
A student accidentally dropped a class shortly after adding it, resulting in an "R" grade, which is presumed to indicate an incomplete status. The student is seeking advice on how to rectify the situation, noting that the drop occurred less than 20 seconds after adding the class. They have already consulted an adviser who stated that no action could be taken due to the timing being past the drop date. The student expresses frustration over receiving an "R" grade without attending any classes. The discussion emphasizes the importance of contacting administration or the registrar for potential solutions, as policies may exist for addressing such errors.

I added a class before the add due date, but dropped it right after by accident (after the drop due date). Now, I received a grade R in the class, which I'm guessing means incomplete or something. The time in between which I added and dropped right after is less than like 20 seconds. What can I do?

ask administration if they can do something, if you do nothing though it will remain an R
 
I'm sure there are policies in place to deal with situations like this, especially if it happened very recently. Mistakes like yours can't be terribly uncommon.
 
What did the registrar say when you talked to him/her?
 
I talked to an adviser. They said they couldn't do anything because it was after the drop date. It's just ridiculous how I'm receiving an R for the class without even have gone to one class.
 
OK, what did the registrar say?
