Locored -

About your visit to the registrar’s office, you’re asking for two separate things:

b** Retroactive withdrawal from your winter classes so that the charges for those classes can be reversed; and

b** Retroactive withdrawal from those classes so the failing grades can be removed from your transcript and replaced with “W’s”.

It’s unlikely you’ll be granted the first (reversal of charges) - but there’s no harm in asking. But, if you can explain your situation, they might be willing to remove the failing grades from your transcript, at which point you’d be eligible for financial aid again. Yes, you’d have to pay for winter quarter, but at least you’d be in good academic standing.

You’re probably going to need to speak to the head person in the registrar’s office, so don’t hesitate to ask for that person. If you need to set an appointment, do so.
