Not for a C. I can understand being like, “Yeah, I failed a bunch of stuff because I was in the hospital” or “Sorry about that one F, but my house burned down in the middle of last semester.” Making excuses for a C strikes me as kind of weird. And as an admissions person I would find it strange that the teacher did not excuse you for “technical difficulties.”
