English term or phrase: withdrawn fail
Estoy traduciendo unas calificaciones de un estudiante del Condado de Lee en el Estado de Florida. En la parte correspondiente a la explicación de la escala de calificaciones, aparece:

"Grades not included in GPA - Grade equivalents

I = Incomplete
N = No credit
W = Waived
L = Loss of credit due to excessive absences
WF = **Withdrawn fail**
WP = withdrawn pass
S = Satisfactory
U = Unsatisfactory
P = Passed
R = Retake"

En una referencia de internet, encontré:

"Withdrawn Failed refers to the withdrawal of the student from a unit/ subject of study or an entire course after the census date"

pero para "withdrawn pass", hallé:

"WP (Withdrawn Pass) grade means the student was passing the course. at the time of withdrawal"

por lo que pienso que "withdrawn fail" puede significar que cuando retiró la materia la tenía reprobada.

¿Alguien está familiarizado con estos conceptos? Muchas gracias por adelantado.

agree  Carmen Valentín: Muy cierto, aunque lo de "bruto(a)" no necesariamente.

  -> Lo dije por solo argumentar. El que fracasa por lo general es por no aplicarse (vagancia) no por falta de neuronas... Buen fin de semana.

neutral  teju: Perdona que use el neutral para un comentario, pero, si dejó de asistir a clase, ¿como pudo aprobar? No lo entiendo.

  -> No es esa la situación en este caso. Sin embargo, es posible aprobar un curso sin asistir a clases y dando solamente las pruebas, en calidad de 'oyente'.
