Removing credit

[clep3705]

Removing courses from your academic record is very unlikely to occur. What's next, will we have students getting D and F grades removed from a transcript because they are distracting? Registrars view academic records as if they are carved in stone. It would undermine academic integrity to let students pick and choose what appears.

I suppose a person who has changed majors multiple times might be viewed as having problems picking a field and sticking with it. The way to fix a problem like that is not to have a transcript changed. It should be explained in the application or interview. Tell a story about being well rounded instead of indecisive. If the subject you're concerned about really is art, I don't see a problem. I'd spin that into a plus. Say that your art education makes you aware of how to make compelling presentations or pleasing product designs.

I've never heard of a case of a course that was taken being removed from a transcript. The only case I ever heard of something being removed from a transcript concerned a notation about academic suspension. Student was at school A and was suspended. School B let student enroll and added a notation to school B's transcript stating that student was on academic suspension at school A. Student was readmitted to school A and graduated. School B's new registrar removed the notation about academic suspension from school A on the grounds that it wasn't up to school B to track academic suspensions of other schools and that school A should and did take care of the history of suspension at their school.
