What happens when a student drops a class?

Essentially, it means unenrolling in a course by a certain deadline date. When you drop a class before the drop deadline, it’s as if it never happened. This means that it won’t show up on your transcripts and whatever grade you earned up until that point will disappear from your academic history.

How do you ask a professor if you should drop their class?

Tell them that you need to focus your efforts on fewer things especially your thesis as you find it challenging. Be polite and don’t forget professors have heard it all before, they will understand or should do. Just tell him you are too busy. Don’t tell him you’re not interested.
