Hi aska!<\/p>\n
I’m a student at UTM planning on transferring to a different university next year. I applied and my transcripts have been sent and everything! But?there’s this one course (that one course ugh) that will bring my GPA down. I selected the credit\/no credit option for that course, but not before the?transcript was already transmitted to the university I applied to. Would they even see the credit\/no credit option on the transcript? Or would they?see my grade in the course regardless?<\/p>\n
Also how bad would it look on my transcript if I were to drop that course now….<\/p>\n
Cheers,
\nI want to leave.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
firstly, I am INCREDIBLY INSULTED that you’re transferring. How could you transfer. How. Could you. I thought we had something special. The other school’s thinner than me, isn’t it? ISN’T IT?<\/p>\n
Ahem. It’s fine. No, don’t worry. I’ll be fine.<\/p>\n
As to your (traitorous) dilemma, basically, if you’ve sent in a transcript in september or october, all your courses are going to show up as ‘in progress’ to the school you’re applying to. So whether you selected credit\/no credit before or after sending it, it’ll look the same to the other school. If this is the only transcript they require, then it really doesn’t matter how the course turns out.<\/p>\n
However, if you have to send another transcript once the term is over, then they will see that you made it credit\/no-credit, and they will see if you’ve dropped the course. Generally, unless that course is a requirement for you to transfer, dropping it is probably going to be a better idea than having a bad mark show up on your transcript. It really depends on your situation though, so I’d suggest talking to the UTM registrar’s office<\/a> or maybe the admissions office at your new school about your situation.<\/p>\n
