mmsw86 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 do I inform the schools to which I've already been accepted asap? or just sent the transcript when grades are available in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingHairyArmadillo Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If the class isn't a graduation requirement or tied to your program (basically, is it an art history class?), it probably won't matter. I just dropped an elective that I didn't even need for credits (I just figured it'd be helpful), but it ended up taking more of my time than I thought it would. Sure, there will be an ugly W on my final transcript (which you do send once you graduate), but at this point it completely doesn't matter.

joro Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 You guys are pretty lucky. My school's drop date was only 2 weeks into the semester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a one W two semesters in a row for the same reasons. No mention of it as a concern from anyone. I think an F or NF or NW (what we do at my school for failing to attend class or completing the coursework) would be an issue. A W is just rearranging your schedule, really.

It is an art history course. I work full-time and take post-bacc classes part-time. When I submitted the transcripts, I was deciding amongst courses (2 art history vs. 1 art history and 1 fine arts ... I opted for the latter). Probably not a huge deal, but maybe it would be best to notify them of the change now? for transparency's sake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
