<p>I am currently a undergrad student at a prestigous school in the UC system. I took a course this summer at community college to fulfill breadth requirements and was forced to drop it and receive a "W" (withdrawal) grade because I now have to go to the east coast for the last week of the course for family (I did not know about this when i registered). </p>
<p>Will this hurt me? will my university find out about it? I never told them that i was taking this course. Will this W haunt me when I apply to grad school three years from now? Can I simply avoid it by never taking a class there again?</p>
