I'm thinking about dropping one of my 6-credit course, my question is since I'm dropping it during term 2, what about my term 1's mark? Will I receive the 3 credit from term 1?

You won't get any credit from it unless you complete the full 6 credits . The best thing you'll get is a percentage of the money back.

and I'm pretty sure if you drop a full year course now it's going to show up on your transcript as a fail instead of withdrawal

That day is March 9th.

I dropped a 6 unit back in October and it shows up on my transcript as cancelled.
