Carry over
Hi,
If I fail a course, I’ll have to repeat it next year. Could I use the word ‘carry over’ to describe that I’d have to sign up for it again in the next semester?
“I need to pass my final test in maths. I don’t want to carry the course over to the next semester.”
Thank you.
Perhaps there are other verbs or phrases that’d be more suitable, but I came across this one.

That doesn't sound right to me if you simply fail and then enroll again later. You could use carry over if, for example, you were allowed to bring forward some of your good marks from the previous semester. Have a look at the definitions and examples here.
