Guys, I wanna know if you can cancel a course but not fail by default at this point.
I really need to not fail guys, like I thought this assignment was only 10% and I was behind because I had been sick for a while so I just didn't bother writing it cause at this point theres no point and I couldn't use an MSAF to extend it and a lot of other things needed my attention but now I noticed that it is worth 30%! I'm on Academic probation and I was doing well this year till now. I need help guys! I am gonna cry! Just please tell me if theres a way not to fail by default! PLEASE!

No.
You might ask the prof to extend it for you, but chances are slim. You aren't in grade school, no one cares about your tears and problems. Sad but true.
I also don't understand how you would want to drop the whole course because of one assignment. What did you do with the other 70% of your final grade? Seems like really a waste to drop it now. At least if you stay in the class, you can kill it on the exam.

Ya there's literally a week left of school. There's no way you'd be able to drop it without failure by default. You can try asking your prof if he'll accept the assignment late (if he does it will no doubt come with a huge mark penalty). Your best bet is to study your ass off for the exam and try to pass the course with a 50
