Unofficial Transcript

[Student75]

When submitting an unofficial college transcript for an internship, if I received an F in a class my first semester, then retook the same class a semester later and earned a B, can I replace the "F" for "Retook Class" in the first semester record?, or is this fraudulent?

It's not illegal if that is what you're asking. It's certainly not ethical however and if they find out they may end your internship.

You COULD write in a note next to the "F" to explain it...but removing it is definitely unethical and *MAY* be illegal, depending on the purposes of the transcript.

I would never hire or consider someone for a position who altered a document. Get a new unofficial transcript that shows the class with the higher grade.

As a hiring manager I would have respect for the person who was not afraid of their shortcomings expecially when they took steps to turn things around. I woud certainly question the character of a person who did exactly what you are intending to do.

Just my two cents... clink... clink...

Why wouldn't the new transcript show that the class was repeated and what the new grade was?
