<p>Hi all. I am considering withdrawing from both of my classes for the summer term. It was my first experience with online classes and they just are not for me. I was wondering what negative effects it might have on my transcript?</p>
<p>I otherwise have a 4.0 GPA and I’m a sophomore honors student at a Community College in Florida. I’m planning on transfering to a state school, and then Northeastern in Boston. I’m also a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and one of the reasons I chose online classes is because I’ve gone on three PTK-related trips this summer.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? I might still be able to salvage B’s in the classes, but that’s with probably 12 hours of work per class. Most likely scenario is C’s, and I don’t want those on my transcript, either.</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>Go see the PTK advisor and ask if withdrawing will affect your PTK status and your chances at scholarships when you transfer. I expect that it won’t. If it will, get cracking on the work and pull your grades up. Don’t be afraid to email the online instructors with your questions. Just because you can’t meet face-to-face doesn’t mean that they are unwilling or unable to help you do well in their classes.</p>
<p>Lots of people have trouble with online classes. It is good that you have found that out about yourself early in your educational career.</p>
<p>Yeah I would withdraw if there is even a slight chance of you getting a C that’s just me though.</p>
<p>just curious but you’re going to transfer twice? to a state school and then northeastern?</p>
<p>Yes, I plan on earning my bachelors at the University of Central Florida and going on to grad school at Northeastern (I want to relocate to Boston and it was my dream school).</p>
