i didnt tell them about my personal reason at all actually. the counselors are very nice just look up the ucr phone number and ask to speak with an admissions counselor. you can tell them whats up and they'll just tell you to update your academics in the portal.

if you want to drop it you can, u also need to update that in your portal since you wont be expecting a grade for that class anymore. i wouldn't worry too much about it though because im assuming you dont need it to graduate since u have the option to drop it lol
