when you fail a collge class what happens. Who do I write to ask for an easier class?
You will have to take it again if it is required for your major. If it is an elective, then you can try an different class. Check the catalogue of courses of the school for an explanation of their subject matter, difficulty and prerequisites, if any.
If it is a required course for your major and you do not want to take it again you should change majors. You might want to write to or request a meeting with the Dean of that major to discuss your options.

A suggestion for one thing you might improve. Your spelling needs work. Perhaps you can get one of the many paper-back books that will teach you the "tricks" for spelling.
I have often wondered why anyone would want an easy class. I suppose it is dependent on what you want out of education.
It is hard to speculate in your case, but looking at your writing (and spelling), I am suspicious you need remedial language work. Your writing is far below college level, and you need to work that out before you attempt real college work. Your contact with the academic counselor should work that out, if in fact that person is an academic counselor. Many online "colleges" are in fact not college level, and are more interested in your financal contributions than they are to your educational development.
Good luck.
When you fail a college class, typically you will receive a failing grade for that particular course. This grade can vary depending on the grading system used by your college (e.g., letter grades, numerical scales, or pass/fail). Failing a class may have certain consequences, such as affecting your GPA, potential academic probation, or even the possible requirement to retake the class.
If you wish to request an easier class or discuss your situation with someone, it is important to reach out to the appropriate individuals at your college. Here's a step-by-step guide on whom to contact and how to approach the situation:
1. Academic Advisor: Start by consulting with your academic advisor. They are assigned to you based on your major or program and can provide guidance on your academic progress, course selection, and potential options for retaking a failed class. They may also suggest alternative courses that align with your interests and skill set.
2. Instructor: If you believe that the course was too difficult or that you struggled due to certain circumstances, it may be worth discussing your concerns with the instructor. Be prepared to explain your situation and provide any supporting documentation if applicable. While they may not be able to change your grade directly, they may offer advice on how to improve your performance in future classes or provide resources to help you succeed.
3. Department Chair: In some cases, if you have a strong reason supported by valid evidence, you may consider contacting the department chair. They oversee the academic department in which the class is offered and may have the authority to make exceptions or accommodations for exceptional circumstances. However, it is important to remember that requesting an easier class without valid reasons might not yield favorable results.
4. Academic Support Services: Many colleges provide academic support services such as tutoring, study groups, or supplemental instruction. Utilizing these resources can greatly enhance your understanding and performance in challenging classes. Seeking assistance through these channels can demonstrate your proactive approach in improving your academic skills.
Remember that each college has its own policies and procedures, so it is recommended to review your college's guidelines or consult the student handbook for specific instructions on how to handle academic issues.
