I am transferring schools but my credits are not going to transfer. This makes me want to withdraw from an online class I am taking because it is a huge stressor right now and it’s not worth it if my credits won’t transfer. Will withdrawing from a class affect me later in school? Like will anyone see the W on my transcript and and penalize me somehow? Help!!
Are you transferring to another community college? Or to a four-year school?
Either way, the school you are transferring to will see your W when you submit your transcript (which will definitely be required for application to the four-year school. Not always necessary for transfer to another community college).
But one or two Ws is not significant unless you only have a few credits and are applying to a four-year school. If you start compiling a lot of Ws, it looks like you can’t handle the work and it can have an affect on future financial aid because you are failing to make satisfactory academic progress.
