i suppose if you go for a job after graduation...and the employer does not look at your transcript...a W is fine....but if you want to pursue further studies...the school will question you about it..

Forget about dropping. The date to drop course passed already. You can only drop under extenuating circumstances.

That means the only case you can drop courses (and you will have to drop ALL your courses) is when you have an emergency you can finish your semester that is out of your control.

I have seen people saying family emergency and have to go back to HK... etc... you will need to show plane tickets when you come back, and of coz you will have to drop all of your classes. I haven't seen anybody successfully drop a class under WE because they cannot handle it. But that's faculty of business, I don't know about other faculty.

In terms of WD in transcript, it will just show that you have dropped a class. Not a biggie in my opinion. After you have graduated, who will check through your transcript in detail and mind a Withdrawal.

only my first job in my career life requires the transcript.
i did have one or two W on mine
as long as you can give reasonable explanation,
it is gonna be alright

i think you can always drop a course...its just you will have a W on your transcript if you drop it late in the term

it's very late to drop it right now...
u might not be able to drop it, since it's week 8 already

Speak to the department academic advisor, s/he can drop the course for you. I believe there is a form you have to fill out as well.
