I dropped a subject before the census, and it's not even on my academic record. It's fine, trust me :P

If you get labelled as "withdrawn" make sure that it says "no penalty" or something similar

Having it shown as "withdrawn" doesn't impact on your GPA AFAIK

this. :)

but bear in mind that you might need to explain to your future job/post-grad course interviewers the reason/s of your withdrawal.

Edit: coz I can't type

I deferred for a year, before the census and my academic record says "withdrawn" for all subjects. Ugly >.<

hmm this will be a bit of a bitch >< My only reason is to potentially boost my WAM for transfer and relax a bit because I'm really not feeling study right now.

Everyone I spoke to (plus myself) who applied for mid year at UoM said it was a massive pain and a lot of calling up to find out what was happening ensued. 2 months after I applied and my application is still 'unassessed'. Go VTAC, woooo reliability!
