14. Two suggestions (both based on personal experience):
1. It makes the money you spent for the semester a complete wash, but you can almost always get a "retroactive withdrawal" if you have a good enough reason. I did that once. Wrote a letter to the dean, was called in for an interview, and they granted it. Some schools call this "academic bankruptcy."

2. Transfer. I know of NO school that counts your grades from a previous college in your GPA. They count credits, but the numbers aren't calculated. That means if you have 80 credits with a 2.0 GPA, and you go somewhere else and earn 45 credits with all A's at the new school, you will graduate with a 4.0.

Good luck.
