<p>Hi CC, </p>
<p>So I've been admitted to UC Riverside and Irvine. I'm currently only taking 1 class this semester and it is speech/public speaking for cal state purposes. My question is if I drop this class for a W (I only have 1 W on my record) will the UC's take back there decision?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>why not call the admission office at the 2 schools and ask them?</p>
<p>Since you are a transfer student you should be posting on the Transfer Students forum (and specifically UC Transfer for this thread).</p>
<p>Moving thread.</p>
<p>Bad advice visitnajr. Listen to mikemac and call both schools.</p>
<p>If it doesn’t mess with your 60 units, prereqs or, IGETC I do not believe that it will be an issue to drop. But, of course calling the schools to verify is never a bad call.</p>
<p>Also read your “Provisions of Admission” its on the home page of your UCR account.</p>
<p>@visitnajr You are telling him to drop the class because “he doesn’t have an Ws on his transcript”. That’s not a great reason to drop a class. Yes, Speech is not required by UCs, but it is UC transferable. Since it’s UC transferable, it could be used for the 60 unit requirement(In fact, I took speech and I’m using it for this precise reason). If it doesn’t conflict with the 60 unit requirement, then you can drop it. Don’t drop it because it will be your first W.</p>
<p>EDIT: UCBhopeful16 pretty much summed it up.</p>

Even assuming that, what do you think would happen? That they would rescind him/her on the spot for simply asking about dropping a class after he/she has been accepted? Because it really doesn’t work like that. When you call the UC admissions they don’t ask for any identifying information unless you need them to look at your application and they’re not going to judge you and make or change their decision based on your call. I really don’t understand some of the hesitance in terms of calling admissions just to clear up things you may be confused about. </p>
<p>When I was applying I called before I applied, while I was waiting, and even after I was admitted and nothing bad ever came of it. IMO, these forums are nice to engage with people that have gone through and are going through the process with you and to share opinions and advice. But it’s always best to double check the with the source, especially if it’s something significant like changing your coursework. At the very worse you call and find out it could lead to you being rescinded and you make the appropriate changes and try to get the classes you reported, instead of just dropping and getting a W based on assumptions alone.</p>
<p>I hated that class =/ I always shake from nervousness on speeches.</p>
<p>
You’re right. Its much better to simply drop the class on the assurance of an anonymous poster on an open forum promising that nothing bad will come of it. Nothing could possibly go wrong.</p>
<p>And yes, that is sarcasm.</p>
