I heard you’re the (wo)man to talk to.
\nI just bombed two of my midterms horribly \ud83d\ude41 and the deadline to drop courses has passed! As I just came off probation, I don’t want to mess up my GPA anymore — so I plan on using LWDS again (I have already used 1.0 of my 3.0 credits). So I tried to go on eService but it doesn’t show any of my courses! What’d I do wrong?! Is it because I still have a balance on my school account?
\nOn a side-note, while looking at some of your previous LWD-related answers, how bad do LWDs look on transcript (like in my case) for future employers? Would I still be hireable?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
if the courses you want to LWD are S-section courses, then the request period doesn’t open until march 23rd<\/a>. so that might be why.<\/p>\n other than that, i can’t do much more than guess at reasons why you can’t see your courses – mostly because i’m not a utsc student and i didn’t know what eService was until i just looked it up to answer your question<\/a>.<\/p>\n if you’re thinking about LWD’ing a course, and especially<\/em> if you’re just off probation, you should probably be talking to your registrar’s office<\/a> before making this decision anyway. while you’re there, you can ask why you can’t see your courses online. it might be because of your financial account, or it might be an entirely different reason – i’m not sure. but you should for sure talk to someone about it.<\/p>\n as to whether you’d still be hireable, that kind of depends on the job you’re gunning for. generally, LWDs are more of an issue for people applying to graduate\/professional schools.<\/p>\n if you’re applying for a job straight out of undergrad, your employer probably won’t even know what LWD means<\/a>, if we’re being real. in either case, an LWD is not damning by any means.<\/p>\n
