<p>Alright, I've seen countless discussions on rules for resumes, but I never see any discussion about the rules for transcripts. I have had almost every single employer ask me for an excel sheet with my grades and I was wondering what the rules were for this Excel sheet. I don't want to lie on it, but I do want to know what I can get away with. I have had a less than stellar academic career (academic probation, countless withdrawn courses, an entire semester of F's that I had to repeat). When I spoke to a friend, he said that when he's asked for a list of his courses he only includes courses that are used for his GPA calculations.</p>
<p>For example, if I withdrew from a course, should I leave that on my transcript or can I remove it? Are W's necessary to include?</p>
<p>If I retook a course, can I simply write the repeated grade and leave off the original?</p>
<p>I had a friend recommend to me to only include classes that are used in calculating your GPA. So remove the W's, the originals of repeated classes, and nontransferrable classes (piano lessons at a junior college). Keep only the classes that were used for the final GPA as well as all courses taken for pass/no pass (credit/no credit).</p>
<p>Any insights from employers, fellow job seekers in my situation?</p>
