Liberal arts revises one-time Q-drop policy - Top Stories Ok, so this doesn't really affect anyone, but I was reading my old college newspaper, and saw that they got rid of Q-drop. Basically, if you are having a hard time with a class, you can go in at any point after the official drop period and drop the course. It doesn't affect your GPA, it just shows up as a "Q" on your transcript. It could also be only used once throughout your ENTIRE college career, so you couldn't use it every semester if you were failing a class. I just have to say that this Q-drop saved my GPA my second semester. I had 17 hours, a part-time job, and I was also pledging a fraternity...French wasn't high on my priority list at the time, and it definitely showed! I dropped the class, and nothing more was said...it was wonderful! They should keep this policy...too bad for the kids in school now.
