Failing a class sort of intentionally.

Hello people. I’m in sort of a tight situation where I don’t know if failing the class would be the best of my options. So fortunately I have seeked help with my mental instability that I’ve been having all this term, I’ve had a bad break up and my dog die on me this term. I’ve always been sort of a socially excluded person but this term was bad, I barely showed up to class and even raised concern with the dean of students because I was suicidal. Where I go to school we have tri-mesters so it was too late to play catch up and pick up my grades. I was fortunately fast enough to act on dropping a calculus class with refund. I however, was so behind in my computer science class, that I could only pick up from a terrible F (in the 30% range) to a D-. I decided to make this class pass no pass since my major requires that I get at least a B- to show satisfactory knowledge in order to proceed to the next class so I’d have to retake it even if I passed it. I’m a CS major and the material isn’t that hard but I played hot potato and got burned. I think that not passing this class would be the best option since I’m already not taking it for a grade, It will not affect my GPA if I fail,this is also the first class which I’ve made pass no pass. My GPA is at a good standing and I’m no where close to academic probation since I’m generally a decent student. Would you guys agree that just turning in a blank final would not be that bad of a thing to do? I learned from my patheic mistakes and it will never happen again. I will try very hard next term to recieve a B, If not an A. Thanks for reading…
