I took 6 semesters of Arabic at GW between 2006 and 2008, and never got less than an A- in a course. In fact, I loved it because the first few courses are 4 credits each, so getting an A really keeps your GPA up.
I wouldn't be afraid of doing poorly if you're willing to put in the work. The first two classes are a lot of memorization, because you have to learn the alphabet, basic vocabulary, etc. If you're not going to bother memorizing those things, then class participation (usually ~25% of your grade or something) and exams will be very difficult.
The book assigned to you will be Alif Baa, which is the standard textbook for Arabic courses throughout the country. Because of this, if anything is confusing to you, you should easily be able to find help.
That leads me to my next point: check out /r/learn_arabic and /r/languagelearning. Any college-level students there will be using Alif Baa and should be able to assist you with questions.
Finally, I should point out that I graduated in 08, so it's possible things have changed, though I doubt it. Arabic is an intimidating language when you're unfamiliar with it. Because it uses a different script (like Hindi), people automatically assume it will be extremely difficult. Sure, compared to French or Spanish, which use the Roman alphabet and have a ton of cognates. But it's an incredibly structured and formulaic language, which I found refreshing coming from English. Like I said, just do the homework and memorize each week's vocab like you're supposed to, and I can't imagine anyone getting less than a B+.

/r/whatsthatbook is also pretty helpful most of the time.
just buy a pair of clippers for the cost of a single haircut, then cut your own hair.
