If a course is dropped after the add/drop window, which statement is most accurate?

Dropping a course after the add/drop window is treated as a withdrawal from that course. The most accurate statement is that a withdrawal (W) may appear on your transcript, and your tuition/refund eligibility may be affected depending on the institution’s refund policy. This means you’ve officially removed yourself from the course, which leaves a record, but it doesn’t count as a grade toward your GPA. The course isn’t automatically canceled with no records, you don’t automatically receive a failing grade, and the course isn’t replaced by another course automatically.
