‘W’ grade period ends 27 September
If you drop a course by 27 September, it won’t count towards your GPA and a ‘W’ grade is shown instead. If you do drop a course after 27 September, it will be an ‘F’ grade (a fail grade does drastically affect your GPA). Thus, you have slightly less than a month more to consider whether a course is really not for you.
Some may think of a ‘W’ grade as a blemish on the transcript, though one could think that a reasonable employer/assessor would not care about a 'W' grade. This doesn’t affect your GPA, and to most, genuinely doesn’t mean anything, especially as most would look at GPA/Honours class before anything else.
