Can I email and ask to drop a class?

I was accepted into AU under the ED I application type. When I applied, I had a B- in BC Calculus (for quarter 1), however, right now I have an F in the class, due to some health issues, and I doubt that I will be able to get anything higher than a D/D+. I don’t plan on majoring on anything in STEM, and when I applied I put down that I planned on studying Political Science.

At this point I feel behind in calculus and I doubt that I will be able to get my grade up. If I were to send an email to admissions asking if I could drop it (and explaining the reasons that I need to drop it) would simply asking hurt my admission at all? (Also if anyone here has any idea if they would even let me drop/done something similar in the past please let me know as well.)
