In an attempt to stay on topic... lol. Is there any way I can get the 'withdrawn' off my transcript? It looks so messy and I know I didn't defer after the census date.
I don't think so.
What do you mean by "transcript"?
If you mean your online enrolment page, then that discontinued won't go away. It stays on your internal records, and there's nothing you can do about that.
HOWEVER, it doesn't appear on your transcript. By transcript I mean a real transcript that you pay student services $20 for.
I have half a dozen 'withdrawn's on my internal records, since I've changed my units around a few times, but none of these appear on my official transcript because I withdrew from them all before census date.
