Inquire with your institution's registrar's office about the procedure for deleting a course from a transcript. Also ask for a copy of the policy detailing the school's policy for requesting changes to a transcript. The procedure commonly requires the individual to file a petition with the school. The registrar's office staff can guide you in obtaining the proper petition form and advise you as to what supporting documentation, if any, is required in your circumstance.
Ask the registrar's office for suggestions in completing the petition form. The office's staff is familiar with the process and should be able to help you give the petition your best effort. The staff knows what the petition committee looks for and what made a successful petition in the past.
Find answers to questions you have regarding the petition form before completing the form. Schools often allow only one petition attempt.
Complete the petition form, and explain the reason why you want to delete the course from your transcript. Be detailed in your request in the petition, and thoroughly explain a compelling reason that substantiates the deletion. Follow the form's directions, and sign the form. Write in a professional tone that does not offend the committee. If you have a program adviser, ask her to review your completed petition before its submission. Your adviser can be an advocate in the petition process and may even provide a statement supporting your request if warranted.
Deliver your completed petition. Some schools may require you to pay a fee before the petition is reviewed. If this is the case, include payment. The petition form should detail where to return the completed petition and when petitions are reviewed. Some school's review them once each month. If you are unsure where to return the petition, ask the registrar's office staff; don't make an assumption. After investing time and effort into your petition, ensure it gets to the right place at the right time.
