i dropped one of my class this week and on broncodirect, the class status shows up at enrolled with a grade W.

what the heck does a W mean? can I get it removed? and am i still enrolled in the class or dropped? thanks for your time.

You do not need to worry. The same incident happened to me last summer. What day did you drop the class? I think if you dropped the class after June 24, then the "W" will appear on your transcript. A "W" only means withrdrawl. I do not think that you can get it removed, but do not worry because it will not affect you in any way. Basically, a "W" is not counted in your GPA. When bronco direct shows a "W" for a certain class, I believe that means that you are no longer enrolled in the class. I think you will be fine. I hope this helps.

Correct. "W"s do not affect your GPA calculation at all, however, if you get a lot of them professors and employers wonder why you took a class and dropped out within the first 3 weeks.

If an employer asks, explain that you dropped within the first week because "reason here." Some other colleges, that are not so academically challenging allow you drop really late in their quarter/semester. So sometimes W's are percieved by "near Fs" by employers. Depending on your major/employer, one W is insignifigent.

In the future try to drop within the first 6 days of class to not recieve a "W" and have the record removed from your transcript.
