Getting Rid of My Record at a School
#1
Six months ago, I participated in a program where I was allowed to take one online course for free through a University. The problem was they had an extremely limited selection. The course I choose either wouldn't transfer or would only work as a free elective to every college I looked into. Upon realizing this, I had no use for this course. However, if I took a W I would have to pay the full tuition, so I stopped trying. I ended up getting a an F. It was the only course I ever took at that University.

I realized that now this grade is on my record. I applied to a school and had to send the transcripts from every University I attended. I realize this is kind of annoying to have a single course with an F grade that I'll always have send when someone requests transcripts.

Is there any way I have the school delete my data as if I never attended it? Anyone got anything to help me out.

EDIT: If anyone says you don't have send all transcripts. After I graduated from community college I applied to a University. I had taken one course at a second community college as well, but never send it to the University. I got an e-mail from the National Clearing House saying that I must send all transcripts in order to even be considered for acceptance.
And before anyone with ACE credit freaks out about all the transcripts they'll have to sent, this only applies to transcripts from colleges and universities.

Look into the school to see if they have an academic forgiveness program, but that would require retaking the course most likely (and most likely taking multiple courses to show good standing). Outside of that, you're sorta out of luck.

Don't worry about it. I have a W on my transcripts and a D-. Lots of people have stuff like that on their transcripts.

Yeah it's not that I have a W and a D on my community college transcript. I don't mind because I earned other credits at the college. It's not the grade that bothers me. It's the fact it is the ONLY grade.


It's just frustrating that my only grade on the transcript is a single F and now I have send this transcript every time I apply to any school or job or anywhere that asks for all my transcripts. It costs me money and takes time and seems unnecessary, but I have to. And courses at this University are expensive I'm not paying 2k more just to retake the class.

Aside from the hassle factor and cost, this is not a big deal, and I wouldn't worry about it much. I imagine that you won't be apply to dozens of colleges, maybe 1-2 for your BA and a few more several years down the road if you want a MA. So it's not like it will come up much in your life.

Wait? Most people don't take courses at dozens of colleges?

I know it's not a huge deal and I kind of knew this wasn't possible but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I ONLY took courses at 5! Haha.

But I was saying she wouldn't APPLY at dozens, which would necessitate paying for that transcript dozens of times...

It's annoying but there's no way to delete it. I have 2 transcripts with 1 class each, my son has one as well. It's fine.
