Deferred exams questions
Does it make a special note on your transcript if you defer an exam?
How do deferred grades appear?

Will the note (if any) disappear after writing the examination, leaving the transcript look like no exam was ever deferred to begin with?

If you put in a defer request how do you know if it was accepted or declined upon review?

I don't see what the big deal is, its the same as cancelling a class, just don't have too many and be able to explain it to an employer if the question arises?

it isn't a big deal at all... things happen in life, so having that on your transcript won't create any major red flags

Don't do it unless you have a real reason man.

I'm sick and I submitted all the forms and its taking them forever to tell me if I've been approved or not. I'm stressing so hard trying to study in case I'm not approved when I should be resting so I can write my later exams without being sick.

How long does it take them to notify you?!
