W on transcript

Hello everyone,

I applied to UCSB for the fall quarter 2020, submitted my TAU and all. However, I made a major error with one of my classes right now and missed the deadline for an entire chapter’s worth of assignments (I know I know). I’m likely going to drop and take a W, however, how will this affect me, especially considering I already submitted my TAU?

I wouldn’t drop, Id stick through it and get a passing grade. They stop looking at letter grades and GPA after Fall 2019. So they’re all expecting you to pass your classes with a C or better. I dont think your grades for spring will have an effect for admission process. As long as you pass them.

We have no idea as we do not know if it is a major requirement or a gen ed course or if it puts you below 60 semester units.

It’s a major requirement for a major I’m considering double majoring in, but I didn’t apply as it. Not a gen ed. It does not put me below 60 semester units.

Double Major is something separate from admissions but I am told that if you need to drop a class or you are failing a class during the winter or spring semester you must report it to each school you applied to right away. I’d say it won’t be a big deal since it’s not considered major prep for the major you applied as but I can’t say much for sure
