Much depends on your college’s own policies, but there are generally similar choices ...
When you find you are failing a class, try to take steps to stave off that failing grade before it is officially posted. A meeting with your professor that acknowledges your failure, discusses your situation and investigates how close you were to passing, could yield some options that avoid failure or at least give you some insight into how to do better the next time you take the class.
